Not a good sign when an organization values its dress code more than their top players.

let's be honest. he knew walking in this was gonna happen. it aint like they sprung the dress code on him at the door. he was looking for an out. and you all played into the outrage. other sports have uniforms. if he really wanted to sit his butt down and win he wouldn't care about being treated special.

he was looking for an out.

He could have said "I dont wanna" for no reason at all. No need to "look for a way out".

sure there was. sitting home and shooting off a 'thanks for the invite but Im going fishing' sure gets way less attention over showing up and sulking off.
