From the Daily Mail: Before kickoff on Sunday in Buffalo, a Bills fan was told by one of Highmark Stadium’s security members that he could not wear a Donald Trump t-shirt at the game in accordance with the NFL’s policy.
The unidentified fan was sitting in the front row for the Bills’ victory over the Miami Dolphins, with a navy shirt that says ‘Trump 2024’ along with the slogan ‘Keep America First!’
The security guard states the rule he is enforcing comes from NFL policy and is not an anti-Trump measure, but it is for any political clothing.
The man in the Trump shirt and those around him question the policy and ask where can they find it to fact check the security guard’s message. The request to remove the man’s Trump shirt comes two days before the Presidential election.
It appears the security guard enforced Highmark Stadium’s policies correctly. Per the Bills’ stadium guide under ‘prohibited items’, it says ‘Clothing or material with profane language or obscene graphics or anything political in nature’ are banned.
The Daily Mail further explains, “The NFL’s fan code of conduct does not appear to have any rules against fans wearing clothing with political messaging, seemingly leaving it up to individual teams to decide.”
The Erie County GOP shared a video of the incident and wrote,”WIDE LEFT! Buffalo Bills security telling a fan he can’t wear a Trump T-shirt at the game? What a joke! If anyone knows this proud Trump supporter, send us a message – we’d love to hook him up with some Trump gear!”

Tell that “Bills official” to go pound sound. This is the United States of America. If he wants communism, go somewhere else.

It is technically the right of the organization to make those demands. However, I say we boycot the NFL and start football over. The salaries are getting out of hand anyway.

But they can kneel for the anthem, socks that depict police as pigs and put Black Lives Matter on the field and uniforms ????
