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.

She can wear that at a polling place, but not an MLB field.
Got that message a long time ago, MLB.
Hope more people do.
And taxpayers are being forced to pay for those damn venues...
Had enough yet, sports fans?!
If you had California tags, that might be a factor.
The Harris supporting “staff” has to buy her a new hat.
So then some anti-Israel PLO or Hamas color flags and shirts around the area would be “protected free speech”? Probably.
I was from the south end.. phoenix. BURNED.
Antifa/BLM is who burned my community. They were camping in a local park harrassing locals.
I had an encounter with 5 of them that night as I was trying to sleep in a parking lot. There were no motels for months.
