Only Nick Bosa knows if he is apologizing because he is truly changed man or he is just saying what needs to be said for it to blow over.
I have my own opinion on that, but for now, we can just go by his words as reported by Jim Trotter when asked about the Colin Kaepernick tweets and his other questionable ones.
I asked if he could understand why some would find them offensive: "Yeah. I definitely made some insensitive decisions throughout my life. I’m just excited to be here. It’s a clean slate. I’m sorry if I hurt anybody. I definitely didn’t intend for that to be the case." (cont)

Two-plus years ago he Tweeted that Colin Kaepernick is a clown. I asked if he still feels that way. "No. It wasn’t directed toward that. It’s not like I’m saying his stance and what he was doing – that’s not what I was talking about at all…." (cont)

Bosa: "It was just a specific thing that happened, and me as a young kid – a thought popping into my head and, boom, decided to Tweet it out. Bad decision. I respect what he has done. If it empowers anybody then he’s doing a good thing. I apologize for that."
