Whoever wins the male tournament is going to have to have an asterisk next to the win “#1 seed banned from competition.”

The ban was probably getting more news coverage that the shirts did. I'll bet that they have strict instructions to the cameramen not to video anyone with a shirt just like sports here won't show people running out on the field during a game.
