He has always donated to community organizations. Glad he finally added rhetoric to it.
Most interesting part of the article (that no one's reading):

His defenders over the years have argued that Jordan did not have to wage the fight for civil rights and mutual respect that many of his socially-conscious predecessors did in the 1960s and early 1970s. They said that Jordan’s ability to amass wealth and power after his playing days was the next rung of activism for the black athlete: the development of an economic blueprint that featured actual majority ownership in an NBA franchise. And with that wealth and power came the ability to not just advocate, but take action.

Today, the Hornets have more people in color holding top front office positions than any other organization in any major sport in North America. Since its inception, the Jordan Brand, valued recently at $2.8 billion by Nike, has always had an African-American CEO.

Jordan’s commitment to diversity, his spokeswoman said, has been long established. “But he’s always been very private and personal about many of these things.”

MJ the greatest. :mjcry:

True privilege to watch him play.

I know nikkas are going to clown(:martin:) but MJ and/or his people definitely researched those two organizations to make sure they are going to do exactly what they are suppose to do.


ETA: I hope the simple nikkas read this part from that article.
