Buffalo Bills Fan Angered After Being Told Not to Wear Trump Shirt at NFL Game Days Before Election

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.

Didn't want Trump to win? Blame the Buffalo Bills

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 video leaves uncertain how the matter was resolved, and whether the fan was removed from the stadium for his shirt.

DailyMail.com has approached the Bills for comment.

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.

Last Sunday, San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa crashed a postgame segment where his teammates were being interviewed to be seen on camera wearing a Make America Great Again hat.

The Washington Post reported the NFL is reviewing the incident, with a result expected later this week, after Tuesday’s election. The league is investigating whether Bosa broke league protocol by wearing the hat.

Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 the NFL rulebook states that anything with political messaging is not allowed.

‘The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, mouthpieces, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns,’ the rulebook states.

Trump’s merchandise has made its way into sports venues plenty in lead-up to the election.

Last month during Game 1 of the World Series, a fan was spotted right behind home plate at Dodger Stadium wearing a red MAGA hat.

When Trump visited Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium for a Steelers game against the New York Jets, several red MAGA hats could be seen in the crowd.

The Bills play in a state widely expected to be won by Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, by double digits.

Both of Trump’s previous opponents for President, Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden, won New York by 23 percent of the vote.
