Shocking footage has emerged showing a soccer fan getting kicked out of a St. Louis City game for wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ cap in the stands.

The clip, first shared by reporter Greg Keller on X, shows a man named Michael Weitzel filming himself as police escort him out of the team’s stadium because of his clothing.

‘I am being evicted from the premises because of Donald Trump – because we can’t wear Donald Trump hats in public,’ Weizel says. ‘Now I am being evicted from the premises. Trump is not welcome at St. Louis City SC club. Trump is not welcome here.

A police officer escorting Weitzel out of the stadium can be heard explaining that he is a Trump supporter too but has to carry out the club’s rules banning political statements at the stadium. Booing and jeering can also be heard in the background.

‘He gets it, he’s just following the rules,’ Weitzel says of the officer dealing with him. ‘It’s not his fault. This is the stadium’s rules here.’

St. Louis City SC, when contacted for comment, directed Daily Mail to those guidelines and offered no further statement.
