Nick Bosa is taking a victory lap over Ryan Clark’s dismissal by ESPN.
The San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Bosa made waves this week with a shady post directed towards the former ESPN analyst Clark. Earlier in the week, Clark was fired by The Worldwide Leader after over a decade at the network.
In response, Bosa took to his X page on Thursday to post an emoji indicating his approval of the news. Take a look.

That marked the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Bosa’s first (direct) post to his X page since 2022. Needless to say, he is pretty happy to see Clark go.
Clark, 46, played in the NFL from 2002-14, so he never overlapped in the league with the 28-year-old Bosa, who debuted in 2019. But Clark did once speak out against Bosa’s politics on “The Pivot” podcast back in 2024.
This is what Ryan Clark said about #49ers EDGE Nick Bosa…

Which likely triggered Nick Bosa’s “” post to Ryan Clark’s firing from ESPN.

Bosa openly supports President Donald Trump and the “MAGA” movement, which apparently put him at odds with Clark. In the end though, Bosa is getting the last laugh this week with the news of Clark’s firing.
