If these players are basically allowed to dress anyway they want, they translate this lack of restriction into a lack of responsibility and are thus less likely to obey common business practices of restraint and leadership.
This is all psychological, and it has been proven in the business world. I don't see why it would be any different here.
LMAO, I can't wait to see this personality makeover that's gonna take place now that guys have to dress business-like. What once was considered a bunch of overpaid, whining, thugged out underachievers will now be transformed into many little professional, well respected, model employee's, all thanks to the sport coats they now have to wear
You're a friggin' tool!!!

I say it's a small inconvenience and you guys make it sound like they are getting inconvenienced so much that it's ridiculous.

It's the motivation behind the rule that's the sore sport, as well as the perception that it's racially inspired.
Make the guys wear team clothing and call it a day, the sport coat crap is corny.
