After four years away from X, Nick Bosa is catching up.
The San Francisco 49ers star edge rusher hadn’t posted on the social media platform since November 12, 2022, except for just three reposts. That was until Thursday.
The three reposts Bosa had shared included Joe Rogan’s 2024 podcast episode with Elon Musk, Michael Bublé promoting a charity, and George Kittle’s post from the World Cup final asking for grass instead of grass for NFL stadiums. Ironically, it was the subject of Bosa’s last post he wrote himself.

But news circulating this week was enough for Bosa to twiddle his thumbs, albeit for an extremely short period of time.
Bosa cited a post from The Athletic about Ryan Clark being fired from ESPN, and he made his thoughts relatively clear with just one emoji.
Clark previously criticized Bosa for wearing a MAGA hat after a fight shortly before the 2024 election, which President Donald Trump eventually won.
“It seems very clear to me that Nick Bosa understands that when you wear that hat, you take a side,” Clark said at the time. “You’re taking a side of division in a sport that’s supposed to bring us together. I’m just waiting for all the people who comment during political and sporting things, shut up and dribble or shut up and play football, to tell him to shut up and hurry up. But they’re not going to say that because they feel exactly the same way he does.”
Clark recently said that supporting Trump is “more polarizing” than supporting other politicians.

“Let’s be honest. Who you supported in 2008, 2012 is not nearly as polarizing as who you support today,” Clark said on his podcast. “[Trump] has clearly chosen a side, [and] standing next to him gives the impression that you must. Which means you’re in direct opposition to the majority of your teammates.”
Bosa was fined $11,255 for wearing the hat, but he had no regrets.
“It was worth it,” Bosa said after the pick before being fined. “I don’t think my stance on talking about it is going to change, so obviously the nation spoke,” Bosa added. “We got what we got.”
