It is a smart move.
With that being said once you already tweeted it, it will always be out there. Everyone nows Bosa is MAGA, but in the NFL that isn’t a bad thing because most of the owners are MAGA too and most of the players only care if he can rush the quarterback.
He was asked by ESPN why he deleted the tweets and he gave a pretty honest answer.
I asked Nick the same question reporters always ask Cheryl: How are the brothers different? Joey is more competitive, Nick reluctantly admits, and has interests outside of football. (He’ll make his acting debut with a small role in the final season of Game of Thrones on HBO this spring.) Nick loves football more, he says-“I was full-on into it from the time I was 7. Joey, not as much.” He’s also more politically minded. Last year he seemed to delight in posting political takes, including his support for President Trump, on Twitter and needling dissenters. (He also caused a minor social media stir by criticizing Beyonce, Black Panther and Colin Kaepernick, all eventually deleted.) As the combine drew near, though, his online behavior grew increasingly bland. I asked why he seemed to abandon something he had previously embraced.
“I had to,” he says. “There is a chance I might end up in San Francisco.”
I felt the interview could have gone farther with it, but decided to not get into the subject, but that is understandable because it was a fluff piece on his great Bosa is. If he was black, I am sure someone would have dug a lot deeper in my opinion.
It isn’t like his beliefs have changed, but just like a lot of closet MAGA people, he doesn’t want it affecting his job, so he will keep them to himself and his MAGA friends.
Here are all the deleted tweets.
