While Michael Jordon Played for the Bulls he came and played the course for many years and would always bring his fellow teammates there.. along with several Chicago Bears, and other sports personalities.
There were several times that I would be working as a buss boy etc..and myself and others came in contact with these personalities.
We were told not to bother people like him, but he would go out of his way to make those that were working or interacted with his group feel welcomed around their table.. he would joke and ask about us...even shook my hand and congratulated me when he found out I had enlisted in the Navy...
The only time we had any incident remotely like this was when one of the members of his group started hitting on a waitress... he was immediately asked to leave by the rest of the group. it just goes to show that there are all different types in pro sports. granted that I only had limited experience and cannot say that he was that way all the time, but he seemed very genuine to me at that time. It is a shame as I believe you said on another thread that some many other athletes have decided to go the thug route in life.
That is a nice story. I have to agree. I've heard so many nice stories about players and yes, even NFL players.
We hear so many nice things here about the Twins and all the good things they do.
Fortunately all professional athletes aren't brain dead.
What a waste of talent and opportunity though. These idiots have everything in the world going for them and they can't manage to make it through a single season without messing it up.
The stupidity is astounding.
