Former teacher blasts Nick Bosa: 'He's as racist as he is dumb'


(MSN) Over the weekend, San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa went viral when he crashed his teammates’ postgame television interview to show off his “Make American Great Again” hat in support of Donald Trump in the upcoming election. That clip has led one of Bosa’s former teachers to call him out.

As news of Bosa’s antics went viral on social media, a former high school classmate and eventual summer school teacher of Nick Bosa took to social media to blast the star pass rusher.

“I went to high school with both Nick and Joey Bosa. I taught Nick speech and debate in Summer School. He’s as racist as he is dumb. And I hope the NFL holds him accountable,” Jean-Marcos González said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

González went on to point out that Bosa’s actions are clearly in violation of the NFL rule book. ...................(more)

1. I saw the video. I could not tell what his hat said. Had the media not made this a story, it wouldn't even

have received a whisper. The smart kid didn’t like the jock in high school. Not shocking as that’s a pretty typical story all through high school history.

both the current behavior - AND the testimony of past character. (high school)
I think we're past the point where "smart kid didn't like jock" sounds like an adequate description for alleged racism. I'd hazard with some degree of certainty that there was more to it - both then, and now.

4. It's a BFD among Niner's fans.

His love for the racist POS was known when he was drafted, and it's a lock that he was told to respect NFL rules and the fans.

Trade him to another team while he still has value, and a gargantuan contract for which he held out until the last moment. Brock needs the money, and wears a Niners cap, not "Team Trump"

I hope he uses the off-week to get a degree from STFU.

5. He might be dumb, but I don't see the racism today. And enough of the cancel culture already.

6. It won't take you long to find the racism if you care.

And the main point is that when Kaep was on the 49ers and dared to make a political statement, that was the end of his career. Racist white guy does it and...crickets?

And it's not cancel culture. We don't have to support racists just so we aren't accused of "cancel culture." They suck. I don't need to support them.

I'm not going to cancel him for being MAGA either.
