The security company has likely left itself wide open for a lawsuit, and now the DOJ is investigating I think the stadium can say goodbye to any federal funding they get
BREAKING: The US Department of Justice is reviewing the forceful ejection of fans wearing XX-XY t-shirts at Friday's Portland Thorns game. "The Justice Department is aware of these reports and will review the matter thoroughly. Where the facts and the law warrant action, the Department will not hesitate to act." A DOJ spokesperson also told me, "Based on what is known so far, the conduct described appears to raise viewpoint discrimination and First Amendment questions rather than sex discrimination. The Department is reviewing it."

They definitely violated Brandi's First Amendment Right.

How many times have we heard of the Trump DOJ saying they are investigating this or that and nothing ever comes of it. I’m not holding my breath.

Hey @thehoffather Is it legal to lie down and block exits at a stadium?

If they were asked to leave and they didnt leave they are trespassing... security can escort trespassers out of the building

Nope. Assholes get booted from sporting events, public meetings, airplanes, and grocery stores all the time for ruining others' experience. Key takeaway is, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE. You're not a victim. You're an asshole.

Same thing happens at trump rallies

Federal funding? Why would you think they get any federal funding? BTW, this was noting more than a stunt to get publicity and it is working. I am tired of these nut jobs using Portland for their bs. There are conservatives in this city. Brandi's goal was to be kicked out.

I have been saying that Allied guard acted inappropriately. Brandi was no threat. No need to go hands on.

If you go to an event with the sole purpose to disrupt that event, you will be led out. They are grifters & choas mongers.

The prosecutor will see the before that @BrandiKruse doesn’t want you to see or see who she aligns herself with
🚨PORTLAND, OREGON THORNE GAME XX-XY Stunt Ari a trans man needed their dopamine fix and got it at the staged scene with xx-xy apparel and a banner when magically counter protesters had flags to surround them. Ari and others got kicked out but then layed in front of the doorway claiming its because they were scared the be alone in the parking lot This is not conservativism and honestly we get it already. Could even the counter protesters been in on it,this person lives for chaos and has been creating it for some time now luckily not causing anyone great bodily injury. This entire crew is drama and not what the republican party use to stand for. If anyone protests at a event your at just fully ignore them do not engage

If the right was like the left, we’d have burned the stadium down.

Have you been being attention? What’s funding would the federal government provide to the city of Portland for a stadium? The Trump administration has been cutting back on everything. But you believe there’s federal funds available for the stadium?

I hope so! Security was prejudice, bullied these women for their shirts to support women and girls on a women’s team…how ironic they supported men that bully women!

Patriots need to buy more t-shirts and get organized.

He's right. You have to let police get physical with patrons. NEVER security. I'm surprised more haven't mentioned this.

Portland never fails to disappoint.

They f*cked around and are about to find out. Contitutional rights don't care if you live in libtardopia.

No need... the city government and school district are already desperately short of cash, as businesses and productive residents alike have bugged out, taking their tax revenue with them.

They were not kicked out for their shirts they were actively antagonizing other fans in their supporters section.

This cult went beyond anything acceptable and this must stop. It kills every possible normality and harms the nuclear family. A woman was assaulted by fans then forcibly removed from a @ThornsFC game for wearing an @xx_xyathletics shirt. This is the same ideology that took our daughter. CA CPS seized our mentally unstable 15-year-old for interventions we refused and hid her in a glitter unicorn home. She has not been brought to court. We have not seen her. We do not know if she is alive. therebelpatient.substack.com…

The wannabe Barney Fife security guards need to be fired and possibly on jail

No, they can kick her out.

It’s a private venue. They can ban gang affiliation T-shirts and the T-shirt she wore. Look at the fan agreement that comes with each ticket. Just like you can kick someone outta your home, they can do the same. She’s trouble everywhere she goes.

The NWSL maintain a strict Fan Code of Conduct. This policy prohibits threatening, abusive, political, or discriminatory signs and language. Ejections are carried out to uphold a safe environment, prevent physical escalation, and stop the unapproved distribution of materials.

The irony is not lost that the guy covering up the Epstein files is somehow now interested in the safety of women. LOLOLOL Well, it is lost on Ari, but no one decent.

Honey no one would be surprised if they did sue. Trans exlusionism was never a grass root movement. The xxxy brand is just a way for Riley Gaines to profit from transphobia and to make everyone forget she placed 5th. You're just the suckers who bought in
