According to Rosener, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-200-migrants-released-by-feds-to-ngo-shelter-in-texas-near-border\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: 200 Migrants Released by Feds to NGO Shelter in Texas near Border\">security guard informed<\/a> her that political clothing was\u200d not allowed, forcing her to dispose of\u200d her hat to \u2062attend the game. She later\u2064 expressed regret for not standing her ground, despite her concern over the implications for her\u200b season tickets. While the security staff member was from\u200d a\u2063 third-party company, the Cardinals and the stadium have\u2062 policies\u2062 against \u200bpolitical items,\u2064 though the specifics of the incident remain dubious. In response to the situation, the Cardinals acknowledged the\u200c misunderstanding regarding their policy and\u200d reached out to apologize to Rosener,\u200d stating that her experience did \u2062not align with\u2063 their practices. The incident raises\u2062 questions\u200b about the enforcement of such policies, particularly \u200dregarding \u2062political attire, and many \u200dhope Rosener will return \u2063with her \u2064MAGA \u2062hat\u200b in support next\u2064 time.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Every time the NFL wades into political waters, it&rsquo;s an absolute dumpster fire.

You would think that the owners, players, and the league would realize that the best approach to politics is to stay silent and concentrate on sports. Sadly, for one Arizona Cardinals fan last Sunday, an employee from her team couldn&#8217;t adhere to this principle because she supports former President Donald Trump. According to KPNX, Susan Rosener\u2014a long-time season ticket holder and devoted fan of the struggling Cardinals\u2014attended the game wearing her black MAGA hat until a security guard stopped her and said, &#8220;You can\u2019t bring that in here.&#8221; The female guard pointed out that Rosener&#8217;s hat was not permitted.<\/p>\n<p>Rosener had no choice but to throw away her hat if she wanted to watch the game. She recounted their exchange: &#8220;She said, &#8216;no political hats or shirts.&#8217; I replied that I hadn\u2019t heard anything about that and it didn\u2019t make sense to me. Then she insisted I take my hat off.&#8221; Afterward, Rosener regretted giving in but recognized how important attending the game was for her. &#8220;In hindsight, I wish I had stood my ground more firmly; however, I wasn\u2019t sure what consequences might follow since my husband would be furious if anything jeopardized our season tickets,&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n<p>While any dedicated fan of 34 years might understand her decision at that moment, this policy is utterly ridiculous. The security personnel involved were from a third-party company; however both the Cardinals and State Farm Stadium have rules against certain items entering through security checkpoints. KPNX found out that Rosener could only have been violating a rule against clothing deemed \u201cobscene or indecent\u201d in public settings or having \u201cany item considered inappropriate or hazardous\u201d by stadium security.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of which policy Rosener allegedly breached, this reasoning seems incredibly foolish and clearly biased against Trump supporters. The Arizona Cardinals released a statement regarding the incident: &#8220;In an isolated incident at Sunday\u2019s game, a stadium security member misunderstood our policy on prohibited items. Like most venues, \u2018signage, posters, flags or displays\u2026political in nature\u2019 are not allowed; however this did not apply here. We will ensure clarity for all stadium staff moving forward regarding these situations and have reached out to apologize personally for this experience which did not align with our policies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It appears as though the Cardinals were caught off guard by this situation. Are we really expected to believe they are also stopping supporters of Harris from wearing political gear? Hopefully next Sunday Rosener returns with another MAGA hat along with many other fans showing their support as well<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2343520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rosner.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[6733,41251,41253,7215,41252],"class_list":["post-2343519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-controversy","tag-fan-rights","tag-maga-hat","tag-nfl","tag-stadium-policy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rosner.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
