He leaned forward with his hands in his lap and replied after a brief acknowledgment, “I’m sorry if I hurt anybody.

He was also supportive of President Donald Trump in his tweets. But later, he deleted all the tweets because he might get drafted by the San Francisco 49ers later month. 

In an interview with ESPN, he said, “I had to; there is a chance I might end up in San Francisco.”

Inside a meeting room at Levi’s stadium with a team member and his parents, Bosa was asked a question; you previously said some insensitive things. Can you understand why some would find them offensive?

I didn’t intend for that to be the case. I think my being here (San Francisco) is even better for me because I don’t think there’s anywhere, any city, you could really be in that would help you grow as much as this one will.

I’m going to be surrounded by people of all different kinds so that I will grow as a person. I’m going to be on my own. I’m going to grow up, and I’m gonna learn a lot of new things. It’s exciting.”

Bosa showed he wanted to take accountability for his actions and clear the air to move forward.

 The General Manager of the 49ers, John Lynch, and other teammates believe that Bosa’s posts were the action of a young and immature kid.  

Lynch also mentioned “liking” Bosa’s social media posts that contained homophobic and racist hashtags.

But based on their research, the team and organizations were comfortable with Bosa; as a player, he was liked and respected by coaches and teammates.

In his social media, Bosa paints himself as an unapologetic conservative who stands firmly behind the President. 

After getting drafted by the NFL, President Trump congratulated Bosa on Twitter and wrote, “Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft. You will be a great player, maybe one of the best for years to come.

Big Talent! San Francisco will Embrace you but most importantly, stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!.”
