NFL fans believe Nick Bosa cursed 49ers with support for Donald Trump’s MAGA campaign as San Fran crashes out of playoff contention

Football fans on X have connected Nick Bosa's controversial MAGA hat incident to the San Francisco 49ers' stunning playoff elimination. The 49ers' playoff hopes vanished on Sunday after the Rams defeated the Jets and the Commanders clinched a last-second victory.

The dramatic downfall has seen San Francisco post a dismal 1-6 record since Oct. 27. That was the day Bosa photobombed a postgame interview involving teammates George Kittle, Brock Purdy and Isaac Guerendo. He was wearing his "Make America Great Again" hat while doing it.

According to ESPN, the NFL fined Bosa $11,255 for violating league rules about personal messages during game-day interviews. When questioned about wearing the Trump campaign hat, Nick Bosa stayed reserved, noting only that "it's an important time."

After Trump's victory in the presidential election, he added:

"Clearly, the nation spoke. And we got what we got."

The 49ers' season, which began with Super Bowl aspirations after last year's championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, crumbled spectacularly. They failed to stay above .500, surrendered leads to every division rival and couldn't string together consecutive wins against the NFL's top teams.

Fans on social media drew direct connections between the political statement and the team's collapse.

Some saw karmic justice in the team's struggles.

"The San Francisco 49ers are 1-6 since Nick Bosa photo bombed this interview in his MAGA hat and have been eliminated from the playoffs," one fan highlighted.

"Karma," another declared.

Another fan accused; "He cursed his team! What a j**k off!"

Several users found deeper meaning in the correlation.

"There are no coincidences," one supporter posted.

Another exclaimed, "I told you there was a god!"

Another concluded, "It's gotta be the hat!"

Mike McDaniel's cryptic exchange with Nick Bosa

During Sunday's 29-17 loss to Miami at Hard Rock Stadium, an eyebrow-raising interaction unfolded. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel left his former player with a pointed message, stating "South Florida is pretty cool..." before walking away.

The moment sparked immediate social media speculation about potential tampering, given Nick Bosa's South Florida roots. He is under contract through 2028 after signing a $170 million extension in 2023.

The defending NFC champions now face an offseason of uncertainty. With execution issues and an inability to finish games plaguing their campaign, they'll shift focus to evaluating young talent and planning their path back to contention.
