The 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.

Considering you came here to complain about it, yea.

Thanks! This was something that drives me crazy, but it seems like the biggest offenders are repost bots (which I don’t have any problem with in general) and I suspect they are going to miss this post.
