Comment on Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans
person420@lemmynsfw.com 1 week agoThe NBA requires players to suit up when arriving at a game. Some MLB teams require pretty strict dress codes (famously the Yankees and facial hair).
Organized sports can be weird to say the least.

Note: since I don’t watch basketball or baseball, I had to dig for further info. As such take what I say with a grain of salt.
…they sound equally as silly and arbitrary as FIDE’s dress code. In special, apparently the NBA dress code (outside the game) was created to target hip hop clothing, associating it with crime; this is clearly prejudice.
