Michael Jordan is arguably the best basketball player ever, and the first global sports superstar and billionaire.

In defense of Michael, at least he's putting his money where is his mouth is; unlike so many others. The vast majority of these 'woke' posers are just about getting their few minutes of fame during the national anthem, yet doing nothing about the perceived problem during the rest of their day.

This is great. Maybe BLM racing can buy in to F1 too, and see if Hamilton is serious about all this **** or if he prefers to keep winning with the lily white Germans of Mercedes.

On the other hand Joe Gibbs hasn’t done too shabbily.

When MJ was playing with the Bulls, he was asked why he never commented on political issues.......one of the greatest answers of all time. “Because Republicans but Nikes too.”

A one car team hasn’t worked out well recently.

Pretty soon there will be a black majority NHL owner. And that person will be hiring blacks in various capacities and that will be called “progress.” Let’s see how many blacks buy $400 tickets to the sport.

Isn’t there a rule about “investing in what you know”? MJ could probably write what he knows about auto racing on a matchbook.

a single-car Toyota entry aligned with Joe Gibbs Racing.

So basically Gibbs Racing has five cars now.

I just checked MJ’s net worth and it stated 1.6 billion.
A month ago it was 2.1 billion. That’s a lot of money...

There’s only so much that money will do for you. Couldn’t stop MJ’s dad from being murdered in a petty way. Can’t buy health, life, or love.

True. I just can’t figure out how one goes through 500 million in a month?...

I’d chalk that up to erroneous reporting.
