NFL reporter says the Athletic censored his column on 49ers' Nick Bosa

Veteran NFL reporter Jim Trotter says that his bosses at the Athletic censored his column about 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa and the player’s Trump-supporting stunt on Sunday.

Trotter posted his column, headlined “When it comes to political expression, does the NFL have double standards?” on social media Tuesday with the accompanying text: “I believe you already know the answer to the question below, and yet it still deserves discussion. My column on Nick Bosa’s MAGA moment and the NFL’s accompanying silence” with an emoji of a hand pointing down at the link.
