How can this still be happening in 2025?
A soccer fan who attended a Major League Soccer game in St. Louis was kicked out of the stadium after wearing his MAGA hat.
The man revealed that as he was walking the St. Louis City SC inside Energizer Park, three security guards approached him and asked him to remove his pro-Trump hat.
The Washington Examiner reported more details on the fan getting kicked out:
An attendee of a Major League Soccer game in St. Louis on Saturday night was escorted out of the stadium for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
The fan, who identified himself as Michael Weitzel in a video shared to X, was watching a game at Energizer Park, which is home to the St. Louis City SC. Weitzel was then approached by three security officers in the stands, who asked him to leave since the stadium doesn’t want anything political displayed.
“I’m being evicted from the premises because of Donald Trump, because we can’t wear Donald Trump hats in public, and so now I’m being evicted from the premises,” Weitzel said.
MLS says on its website that it does not allow signage or images intended for “electioneering, campaigning or advocating for or against any candidate, political party, legislative issue, or government action.”
Watch the moment it happened here:
