Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans
koper@feddit.nl 1 week agoIt would be cool if he did this as a protest in solidarity with marginalized groups against an unfair rule. But he never even claimed that was his motivation. Instead, it looks to me like he threw a fit after underperforming during the start of the tournament.

Sorry, it’s still BS to complain about the material a pair of pants is made from. I could see if they had vulgarities printed all over them, or were otherwise somehow a significant distraction, but they were just a pair of pants like any other. The idea that the material used for a pair of jeans somehow makes them any less decent than any similar pair of khakis (for example) is just fucking absurd.
