The Arizona Cardinals have apologized to a woman who was told she had to remove a "Make American Great Again" hat in order to enter State Farm Stadium for the team's game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
The team confirmed it has reached out to the woman in a statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
The incident was initially publicized in a post on X by Turning Point Action Field Rep. VP Alyssa Goncales, who also posted alleged screenshots of text messages with other supposed attendees who were either also forced to remove MAGA hats or witnessed others being forced to.

"In an isolated incident at Sunday's game, a stadium security member misunderstood a policy on prohibited items. Like most venues, ‘signage, posters, flags, or displays that are….political in nature' are not permitted. However, that did not apply in this instance. Moving forward we will work to provide clarity to all stadium personnel in these situations. We have also reached out to the individual involved to communicate that their experience was not consistent with our policies and practices and to apologize for that," the statement read.

"We have only heard from one individual. But if there were a couple others that had a similar interaction that should not have happened either. Again, it's not our practice and in the 18+ seasons we've been in this stadium, it apparently has never occurred previously. Moving forward, though, we will work with all of the third party groups that interact with our fans to make sure this abundantly clear," the team said in another statement to Fox News Digital in response to the other allegations.

I suspect that WAS their policy (for Trump gear only) until the story made headlines on social media.
Confederate caps and Union caps at public picnics in the mid 1800s would have created some fuss, too.
The 2024 Fort Sumter is getting closer and closer.
Kids have been sent home for the wrong shirt message.
It’s going to get much worse soon.
I’ve been wearing various Trump hats everywhere I go. (I’m working on my situational awareness techniques) All I get is, “I Love Your Hat!”.
Apologies after the damage had been done. The standard used by the leftists. Sigh. This country is full of spineless wimps.
Was the azzhole responsible fired? Otherwise no dice.
Fox News? Have they called Arizona for Harris yet?
I wore my MAGA cap everywhere I went when I was in Colorado for a week.
Except in restaurants. Didn’t want to upset mouth breathing liberal wait staff who might spit in my food.
There’s a good chance it was some first-level employee just using their status to push a personal desire. Ask for a manager, then it’s official.
Make Arizona Grovel Again.
NUTSCAR has some Tracks that are not allowing the Confederate Flag to be displayed...
I found out all about that being homeless in a car with TRUMP stickers all over it in commie Oregon.
100%
Try that in a city…
It's Me and Vance running for office. I know you don't like it. Suck it up and get used to it."
I only saw a glimpse, so I can't remember, because I got focused on a police cruiser pulling into the culture de sac.
I wondered if he was being harrassed, some neighbor called it in, they didn't like the way his truck was parked, whatever.
I don't think it would have been the police though. I have had a few interactions with them in my decades of living here, and have always found them to be very professional and courteous.
It had to be a neighbor calling in a complaint which the cop had to answer, because when I came back a half hour later, the truck and banner were still there. I expect the person who called it in assumed the wooded area next to his house wasn't his, and thought they could poke him in the eye.
I was in an In-N-Out when I caught this guy’s attention. He was dark skinned by not Black. I was wearing my “I’m voting for the Convicted Felon” hat. The guy made like four trips to the soft drink dispenser and just kept staring at me. Finally, he came over to take a close look. I had already figured out which chair near me wasn’t screwed down into the floor. He read my hat and said, “I LOVE THAT HAT!!!”
Tagline
LOVE your tagline, MM!! 👍
The Stadium staff is as messed up as State Farm Insurance.
I’d never throw my MAGA hat in the trash for the NFL. Priorities people.
