A family trying to attend the San Francisco 49ers-Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday is alleging Levi’s Stadium security wouldn’t allow one of them to enter due to wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
In a video posted to TikTok, one of the women in the family explains that her son-in-law was told he cannot wear his red MAGA hat into the stadium, which led to an argument with security.
“We were about to enter, and they stopped us because my son-in-law is wearing this hat,” the woman says in the video. “They don’t want to let us in.”
The TikTok user’s caption explained the situation further, saying that tickets were scanned in for the game and they passed security checkpoints. However, a separate security duo had issues with the hat.
“So, what was meant to be a fun first time experience for our kids turned out to be an eye opener to us,” the caption reads. “I wasn’t going to share but even after seeing the field state, ‘vote it takes all of us,’ and [Nick] Bosa flashing his [MAGA] hat in the camera I felt we were being discriminated against.
“We were stopped after we scanned in tickets and security check points, by one male asking my husband to either throw away the hat or leave the stadium. It led (sic) to 30-45 min of arguing and missing the beginning of the game just for the supervisor to let us through. Thank you too (sic) all the people who stopped and spoke up as this happened.”
