Kristen Knapp-Webb of Carrollton said she went to the game Tuesday in Arlington with her husband, Walter, to celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary and she wore the T-shirt, which was an anniversary gift from Walter, The Dallas Morning News reported Friday.

"I said, 'But it's not profane. Why do I have to change my shirt?'" Knapp-Webb said. "He said, 'The Texas Rangers organization considers that shirt to be profane.'" Knapp-Webb said she turned her shirt inside-out in the restroom, but left the game shortly after the incident. Rangers spokesman John Blake said the T-shirt policy is part of a fan code of conduct implemented after complaints about similar shirts. "That particular phrase is one we've received a lot of complaints about," Blake said. "That kind of thing is offensive to a lot of people, especially if you have young children and that kind of thing. And I think that's why we have that policy." Advertisement
