I think they don't like you embellishing the story to make it seem like it was anything more than ill-equipped peasants vs knights in studded leather and strange gear. I find it funny and see the humor in the propaganda, people need to relax, it's all in good fun.
I shall exaggerate it to be that the peasants attacked a civilization of Ogres with Dragon Scale armor and 80 ft long Sabres that deal 9,001 damage.
In all actuality the gear (as a spectator mentioned) was even, we just didn't die nearly as often so we were able to keep our 40-50 sets of armor on the field a LOT longer.
