Obongo? That's a new one to me. Am I horribly behind on my President Obama slurs?

Scott Caan will play him in any future biopic.

This is one of the reasons why I kinda hate this new commenting system. B/c another commenter and I had a similar conversation along these lines and that thread just gets totally buried, even though it's associated with this same thread.

Ha! What I loved were the shirts:

I know why he did it, I was joking.

I immediately corrected the 'by' right beneath my comment, but no one can see it in this new commenting system.

Don't say that while Charles Oakley is around...

I give him a pass on that. Those jackets were HIDEOUS, and deserved to be covered up as much as possible.

I said that comment is CONSISTENT with a pattern of Jordan generally only saying what is convenient for his money.

I corrected it right after in a reply to my own post, you just can't see it.

Yeah, he foreign policy tends to be a giant freighter that doesn't change course very nimbly. It's disappointing in that way. Even Obama pulling out of Iraq was just a continuation of the withdrawal policy set in place by Bush & Co.

That stance Jordan took back then was totally consistent with him never taking any sort of cultural or political stance at the height of his popularity. But I'll be clear: THAT'S FINE THAT HE EMPLOYED THAT TACTIC. He didn't want to fuck with his money. MJ does what's best for "Brand Jordan." So there's no need to…

True, but if you watch his HoF induction, you don't really see a mature person.

My gf and I were discussing this (we're both runners) and we don't buy the "we were just doing it for charity defense and we didn't know any better." If two of these people were college runners, how could they not know they got timing chips and other goodies at the expo?

It what sense do you mean #racebaiting, arguing over a race or accusing someone of playing on racial sensitivities?

The only thing owners, TV executives and the league office understand is money. Screw with their money and that's when they'll want to respond. Wearing a warmup jersey inside out does NOTHING to their money. It's one tiny tiny tiny blip in a massive PR disaster. They won't care. It doesn't even force the league to…

Buy, not by. Whoops.

In his career MJ made a point of not taking political stands, even when it came to standing up to a virulent racist like Jesse Helms. The reason why he wouldn't endorse the person running against Helms in the 1990 North Carolina Senate race? "Republicans buy sneakers too." http://www.nieman.harvard.edu/reports/articl…

Surprised by the strong words from MJ. Doesn't Jordan realize racists by sneakers too?
