[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.

The defending champion said he quit as a "matter of principle" after being told to change his jeans.

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.

They have a dresscode and he didn't follow it. Whether it was an accident or whether you can even see his pants are irrelevant. He even says he doesn't care at this point so this is more about Carlsen being an entitled baby more than FIDE having a stupid rule.

He was the person breaking the dress code, not the person enforcing it.
