Fan Ejected from St. Louis MLS Game for MAGA Hat DOJ Reviews

Michael Weitzel, a St. Louis City SC season ticket holder, was ejected from a Major League Soccer game for wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat, which security said violated the stadium's policy against political symbols. Weitzel highlighted the presence of numerous pre-approved Pride flags in the stadium as a contrasting example, raising questions about selective enforcement. The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, has sparked accusations of political discrimination and calls for legal action. St. Louis City SC has yet to issue an official statement, while the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights division is reportedly reviewing the case. Supporters of President Trump have criticized the club and the broader sports media for what they perceive as a left-wing bias and intolerance toward conservative symbols. The controversy reflects ongoing tensions over political expression and inclusivity within professional sports settings.
