Football-Loving Americans Harassed For Wearing Turbans To Game

[Lakhota]

Sikhs have often been targeted by people who mistake them for Muslim.

Three football-loving Americans say they were nearly barred from watching their team at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego Sunday because they were wearing turbans, according to reports.

Denver Broncos fan Varinder Malhi and his friends were sporting jerseys, hats and other garb heading into the game, but it was the color-coordinated turbans -- typically worn by Sikh men -- that prompted San Diego Chargers security to say they couldn't enter the game, ABC San Diego reports.

The security official reportedly said the men would have to remove their turbans. The fans were ultimately allowed in, but warned they would not be able to wear their turbans again if they came back to the stadium.

But the harassment didn't end there. Someone at the game called San Diego police to report the men were rummaging in the trunk of a car and then left the parking lot, police told ABC San Diego.

A bystander took a photo of a bomb-sniffing dog inspecting the vehicle and sent it to the TV station. Malhi said the men had put a bag into the trunk after realizing they couldn't bring it inside the stadium.

"It’s bad, I mean, this is embarrassing for me, because we are Americans at the end of the day," Malhi told ABC. "And we are not supposed to be afraid of fellow Americans.”

Bill Stetson, head of security for the Chargers, and the San Diego Police Department could not be reached for comment.

Right-wing fear and hate have gotten totally out of hand. It's becoming very dangerous.

I have attended two NFL games this year. The Cardinals at Seahawks in November. And the Panthers vs Eagles in October.

At both stadiums...I had a metal detector scanned over me and had to TAKE MY HAT OFF so the inside could be seen.

Fuck their turbans. Take them off like the rest of us.

Yeah, but when you put your hat back on did anyone attack, belittle, or threaten you?

Yes. I wore a Falcons hat to both. Got called all sorts of shit. Especially in Seattle. NFL home fans heckle other teams fans. They wore Broncos shit at the Chargers stadium. It's what happens.

Lucky they were in San Diego and not Philly or Oakland....they may have gotten much worse.

Citizens of California are jumpy after a terrorist attack. Why would the radical lefties whine about a mild inconvenience endured by a couple of fans?

For the same reason that Christian anti-abortion terrorists aren't Liberals.

So you love to generalise but have absolutely no idea. Just as I thought.

I guess you prefer hats like these:

Leave that shit in India where it belongs. You're in America and Americans don't wear turbans.

The fact that they are Americans and wearing turbans kind of disparages that statement, no?

I have attended two NFL games this year. The Cardinals at Seahawks in November. And the Panthers vs Eagles in October.

At both stadiums...I had a metal detector scanned over me and had to TAKE MY HAT OFF so the inside could be seen.

Fuck their turbans. Take them off like the rest of us.

'They' who?

 

[Katzndogz]

Please stop lumping Sikhs in with muslims. Sikhs haven't bombed or beheaded anyone. They are a generally nice and peaceful people. If it helps, think of their turban as a funny looking cowboy hat.

Why should anyone be "inconvenienced" because clowns like yourself are ignorant and full of fear?
