The new NFL clear bag policy is sexist. Women are being discriminated against by the NFL. Normally, men have larger hands than women and therefore can bring in a clutch bigger than can a woman. Women also tend to have baby products with them and these items won't fit in the new, very small bags. This new policy also doesn't allow for medical items that might be smaller than an oxygen tank or wheelchair, but too large to fit into the new bags.

I have spent the last few days reading your stories about being forced to leave essential items at the stadium gates. It is infuriating to see how many people are suffering under these restrictive rules while trying to enjoy a game. I am currently compiling these experiences to send directly to the league office.

Seeing this conversation explode reminds me of every time I had to justify my basic needs at a security gate. Your dedication proves that I am not the only one tired of these unfair double standards.

Stupid rule....it should be the same for every sport if one does it they all should...saying it's making nfl games safer is complete bs...the security guards are just to lazy to open a bag and look inside.

Ridiculous. Try fitting a diaper and wipes in those tiny clear bags. Clearly designed by someone who never had to take a kid anywhere. My husband gets to bring his cargo shorts with deep pockets and I get a plastic sack. Thanks nfl.

My wife has to carry her meds and now she has to choose between her health and going to the game. Total joke. Just search the bags and stop acting like this is about security.

It’s less safe for me to have my personal belongings displayed for everyone to see, it’s putting me in harm’s way. And let’s be honest, you can’t see everything in the large clear tote bags being sold just because they are clear, and people who want to bring weapons in will figure it out regardless if the policy. In fact, haven’t many of these shootings been at the hands of men who did not even use a purse to carry the weapon in in the first place. The policy is really to force us to pay outrageous prices for the food and beverages being sold at these venues so they can make even more money off of us. I would spend a lot more money at places with reasonable policies and prices. And I will not spend an extra dime at a venue that has these policies, if I go at all (and I have not attended a football game in 10 years because of it, and a local concert venue is losing my business now too).
