MJ please SHUT THE F@CK UP


Yep. He shole hired a bunch in his organization. Aint like he surrounded himself with whites. As a matter of fact, it was widely known he would only let folks like Ahmad Rashad get exclusive interviews with him. None of the white reporters got that close to him. His security was headed by a Black Chicago Police Officer. His crew was always black athletes and such. His closest friends are brothers. The dude that made his dress shirts is a brother. He put that brother on to getting other clients.

Not to mention he helped Spike Lee's career and also helped fund some of his earlier movies.....

Didn't want to lose that Nike/Jordan money.

Actually UCF did lose money and shoe contract because of Jordan's son.


How Marcus Jordan Wore a Pair of Air Jordans and Cost UCF Its $3M adidas Deal

As Michael Jordan's youngest son, there's never been a question about what sneakers Marcus Jordan has on his feet. But in 2009, Marcus decided to play college basketball for the University of Central Florida, which, at the time, was sponsored by adidas. Despite the school's existing relationship, he chose to wear a pair of Air Jordans in a preseason exhibition game, an 84-65 win against Saint Leo University.

Before he took the court, it was speculated that Marcus, the “heir” to the Jordan throne, would wear a pair of Air Jordans during the game, and he did just that, lacing up the “Rising Sun” Air Jordan XIIs. Naturally, adidas was not happy. The brand reacted swiftly and dropped the school, costing them roughly $3M in sponsorship money—all because of Marcus’ choice of footwear. Nike, where his father is a figurehead, took the opportunity to sweep in and pick up a UCF sponsorship after adidas walked out. Media outlets reported on this huge fiasco, but Marcus Jordan has never told his side of the story. Until now.

I am sure gained that all back when Jordan/Nike took up the sponsorship deal after that. Come on man. It was all calculated.
 
I wish black people would turn their backs on sellouts like Jordan. But just like Micheal Jackson and OJ we let them come right back as soon as white people kick them out

When did the white folks kick Jordan out?
