Should Magnus Carlsen be banned from tournaments?

Its not fair for one player to have ALL 3 TITLES. World chess champion, world rapid champion, and world blitz champion which Carlsen is already the favourite for because hes leading. Why bother playing at a tournament if you have such a small chance of winning? Carlsen is hogging the money in Dubai right now. I dont think its fair and other players should be given a chance. Atleast Carlsen should stop participating in every Fide event. He also steals all the attention! When you watch the live games, his board is always being watched and commentated. And when he walks in the area, every camera shifts their attention to him. So this is why I think Carlsen should have a restriction on his # of tournaments or be banned from some.

This is a stupid thread.  He is the best player in the world and its who people want to see.

Aww, that's cute, did you mommy tell you everyone is a champion?  That's not how the real world works kid.  Some people are better, some people are best.  It has nothing to do with fair.

He should at least be barred from bringing orange juice to the tournaments.  Nakamura goes through more efforts to be a billboard and wears cool clothing advertising.  I say Carlsen is just being greedy with that ambiguous bottle of orange juice.  Is it Sunkist? Minute Maid? Tropicana?  Sunny Delight?  Tang?

 

Come on Magnus, pick one and sell out or don't play.  Stop straddling the fence here.

Since Magnus is a celebrity, we have a right to all of these juicy details. Sealed I bet that it's genetically modified orange juice (GMOJ) too! That's how he keeps on winning. If he brings ambigious OJ to any more tournaments, I say that he needs to get tested.

Your sentence seemed too long, I have edited it to a more appropriate length.

What does fairness have to do with it?

Obviously he should be banned, and everyone should take it in turns to be world champion.
