A man attending a recent Major League Soccer game claimed his choice of attire resulted in him being "asked to leave" the sporting event, according to a video posted on social media.

The man, who identified himself in the video as Michael Weitzel, was seen wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat at Energizer Park, St. Louis City SC's home stadium.

"I am Michael Weitzel and I have been asked to leave because of the Donald Trump hat," he states in the video during an exchange with security personnel and law enforcement officers.

A member of the venue's security team responded by saying "they're non-political here… they don't want any kind of political" messaging. 

Weitzel responded by pointing toward a section of fans holding flags and suggesting the items were inherently political. But, the security staff quickly clarified by saying, "Those were pre-approved."

Rules at Energizer Park stated that political banners were not allowed in the stadium. It doesn't mention anything about hats.

Weitzel then questioned whether the policies were applied evenly. After the personnel assured Weitzel of the equal enforcement of the rules, he said he was "being threatened with arrest," before seeking confirmation that he was "being evicted from the premises."
