Cardinals staff apologizes for misunderstanding after woman is forced to discard MAGA hat at game.

The woman who was asked to remove her "Make America Great Again" hat before entering State Farm Stadium for the Arizona Cardinals' game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday has received an apology from the team.

On Wednesday, the team issued a statement to Planet Chronicle Digital confirming that they had contacted the woman.

On Sunday, a stadium security member misinterpreted the policy on prohibited items during a game. While most venues do not allow "signage, posters, flags, or displays that are...political in nature," this did not apply in this specific case. Moving forward, we will ensure that all stadium personnel receive clear instructions on our policies and practices. We have also reached out to the individual involved to clarify their experience and offer an apology.

According to multiple reports, a stadium staffer mistakenly told a woman, an Arizona native and Cardinals season ticket holder, to remove her hat bearing the slogan of former President Trump's election campaign before the Cardinals' surprising 41-10 win over the Rams.

According to News 12 Phoenix, a staffer said, "You can't bring that in here."

"Rosener said, "She said, 'No political hats or shirts.' I said, 'I haven't heard that before.' I said, 'That doesn't make sense to me.' She said, 'Take your hat off.' In retrospect, I wish I had stood my ground a little bit, but I wasn't sure what the consequences would be, and my husband would kill me if I did something with the season tickets or jeopardized them in any way.""

Alyssa Goncales, a Turning Point Action Field Rep, initially publicized the incident in a post on X, including alleged screenshots of text messages with other attendees who were either forced to remove MAGA hats or witnessed others being forced to do so.

The team stated that they have only received one report of a problematic interaction, but if there were more individuals who had a similar experience, it should not have happened. Despite their 18+ seasons in the stadium, this issue has never occurred before. Moving forward, they will collaborate with all third-party groups to ensure that this is clearly communicated.

On game days at State Farm Stadium, "political hats or shirts" are not prohibited.

An American sporting event attendee carrying pro-Trump merchandise has faced orders from security before.

In the spring and summer of 2021, a man was removed from MLB games at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, and Citizens Bank Park for displaying banners that read "Trump Won! Save America!" The man, Dion Cini, is now a conservative political influencer on X and has posted bodycam footage of his police escorts out of the stadiums multiple times.

In June 27 of that year, Cini shared images on Twitter of an alleged letter from MLB stating that he was banned from MLB games until further notice.

On Wednesday, Cini discussed the recent incident involving Rosener in an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital.

"Cini stated that America has become the country it is due to the fact that she did it and put it in a can, which is why they asked her to do it. This sums up the current state of America. On the other hand, Cini declared that he would never remove his MAGA hat without force, as he has never done so for anyone."

In the upcoming election, Arizona is viewed as a "sunbelt" battleground state, with Trump winning the state in 2016 but losing it in 2020.

According to a Planet Chronicle poll published on August 28, Vice President Harris is trailing former President Trump by less than one point.

In the Arizona Senate race, Democrat Ruben Gallego leads Republican Kari Lake by 56%-41%. In the Nevada Senate race, Democrat Jacky Rosen bests Republican Sam Brown by 55%-41%. In the North Carolina gubernatorial race, Democrat Josh Stein tops Republican Mark Robinson by 54%-43%.

For the remainder of the season, every Cardinals fan is being encouraged to wear MAGA hats to the team's home games following Rosener's incident.

"Every AZ Cardinals fan who loves America should wear their MAGA hat to every game this season," Lake wrote on X in response to a story on the incident.

Over the current election cycle, there have been widespread concerns that illegal immigrants may be able to vote.

An error in state software is raising doubts about the citizenship of 100,000 registered Arizona voters, prompting the Democratic secretary of state to vow to send out ballots to those affected regardless.

"I refuse to disenfranchise so many voters by limiting them unexpectedly to a federal-only ballot, without prior notice, as none of them were responsible for this issue," Secretary of State Adrian Fontes stated during a Tuesday news conference. "This problem was inherited, and we are taking action to resolve it. It's that straightforward."
