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.

What part of Oregon?
Excellent! Right on the money.
The evening she was selected at the convention.
Empty apology.
Period.
Did she get her cap back? Did they replace it?
Exactly.
Ride your bicycle in style with the latest gear!
Heading to work this morning, I was behind a pickup truck with a big “Thumbs Up” Trump image in the back window. It was that same image that’s on the shirt you posted. Great start to my day.
Its going to get a lot worse, if Harris is successful in stealing the 2024 election, as they were successful in stealing the 2020 election. Yes, it’s going to get a lot worse.
And to replace the thrown hat from their final paycheck
Translation: They apologized to the woman because they are afraid of being sued.
It would serve them right.
I’d have told them to go #### th....
Dont want to get kicked off FR before elections season.
I’d have politely said “Go do something that is physicaly impossible to do to yourself”
That’s better.
“forced to throw MAGA hat in trash”
More accurately, she was asked to remove the hat. She could have turned around and walked out, or put it in her pocket, she wasn’t really forced to throw it away.
Good one! 👍
You gotta stand your ground. Anybody can make up any rule they want, and you have to make your choice whether or not to abide by it.
A different article yesterday said she was prevented from taking it in the venue.
And they would not hold it for her.
So she would have had to return it to the car if she drove there.
Similar to the Smithsonian issue of a few months ago.
The entire I-5 corridor
