Trump supporters went on the offensive saying they would root for the 49ers. 

"I'm a proud Trump supporter and I will do anything to visit him at the White House. If that offends anybody, too bad." 49ers rookie sensation Nick Bosa sat down with B/R for an in-depth interview before Super Bowl LIV," the tweet read.
