apparently his net worth is 2.1bil, but i'm assuming much of the money will come from donations to his charity, with him picking up the slack.

either way, it's a lofty sum of money

The Jordan brand iirc makes something like 3B annually. Fitting 10M a year into a budget somewhere or pulling it from like marketing is probably not big deal to them

I'm pretty sure they're making fun of the people who respond to every other rich person donating money with that exact sentiment.

Jordan is a money making machine

Plus he can easily get that money back as described by his former agent, David Falk here

https://twitter.com/BackAftaThis/status/1255559474296872963

Jordan will sometimes reject easy payoffs because he just didn't feel like doing them

There's always money for Jordan

Jordan is literally making money at this very moment. He's making money when he's watching TV. He's making money when he's sleeping.

Hes just giving the money his shoes have robbed from urban communities. The glorification of Jordans is disgusting and has hurt many communities. I wish Mike at least spoke out against some of it but it would be bad for the brand.

He's always been bigger than any other athlete, and there is no athlete with a signature clothing line anywhere close to him.

The only others who are arguably more legendary in sports are Babe Ruth, Ali, or Jackie Robinson.

Both greats but soccer doesn't resonate in the States as much as b-ball and neither does hockey.

That's not really an issue with race, though, and more to do with the trend of K12 failing boys.

I'd argue MJ has a greater cultural influence/pull than any athlete ever, tbh. Also his cultural impact is felt worldwide where I'd maybe say Ruth/Robinson/Ali were more just American icons

Wasn't MJ's dad brutally murdered by a crook?

I think he has more motivation for reforming the police than most people. He simutaniously knows how damn important they are AND how corrupt they are.

Lots of people only comprehend one of those 2 things like @Antifar
