That would have been one official who overstepped the mark and exceeded his authority, the concern now is getting people to enter not turning them away.
As for the gear, if you don't want to wear it don't, it protects and its part of the sport, the deliberately intended insulting comments from those with no knowledge or expertise would be better placed supporting our sport.
