Will Michael Jordan's Son Cost His School Major Endorsement Money?

Full story: www.eurthisnthat.com

Michael Jordan and his son think they are slick. *Jordan's son, Marcus, attends the University of Central Florida (UCF). No problem there, right? Well, in a game Wednesday, young Jordan, being the brash fellow he apparently is, decided he wanted to wear his family shoe ... Air Jordans, of course. The only problem with that is UCF is sponsored by Adidas! As you can imagine, Adidas was not thrilled. Read on to find out about the ensuing drama and what's about to happen next.

He is selfish and not a team player. Typical Jordan behavior.

He knew before he signed on the paper that the school was not a Nike School.

I know that school were not beating down his door to sign him but that is extremely selfish.

The school should have kicked him off the team.

Adidas is being a little sensitive on this. I guess Adidas had no clue that the son of their major competition was going to the school they endorsed. They didn't seem to have a problem with that. Yet, he wears a different pair of shoes and they pull the deal? Sorry, but that doesn't make good business sense at all. You throw away a multimillion dollar endorsement opportunity with a major university because one player wears a different shoe? Sounds to me like plans were already in the works to scrap Adidas. I also find it very hard to believe that Nike or the Jordan brand won't step in to endorse the school. Adidas didn't put in the work to keep the players happy obviously.

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Scorpio

If something is bothering you, it's important that you say so now, loudly and clearly. It's no good bottling things up any longer because that will only lead to resentment and a slow-burning anger. However, it's important that you know when to shut up too, otherwise you might overstate your case or sound so demanding that you turn others against you.
