Knows the rules shows up in jeans and is asked to change. He decides to leave…lol really shows his character! Also got upset and quit when the American beat him…

Isn’t that the definition of taking a stand against something you disagree with, tho. He said it was a matter of principal. Idk anything about his reaction to losing to America or anything else about the dude so I’m not arguing he isn’t an ass. I just feel if I played chess and disagreed with their antiquated policy on attire, then I would prolly do something like not wear jeans to bring attention to how stupid it is. But that’s just me and I am a huge supporter if everyone having the right to protest anything regardless of what is being protested.
