Kareem Abdul Jabbar Calls Michael Jordan A Sell-Out

[soul rattler]

Jordan won't respond.

As far as selling out goes, while an argument can be made that Jordan has chosen to not divorce himself from Nike considering human rights violations and cultural effects here in the United States, it still is a stretch to blame any of it on him. Whether it was his name on those shoes or someone else's, those problems will still persist.

If he can at least take a portion of the money that he makes and put it to where it will benefit humanity, I can't really be mad at him.

id like to think that being an NBA star that kareem would be able to say this with more conviction than somebody who is say, an outsider to that culture.

I say its fair but bc of his overall personality, but not bc he doesnt speak out on "sneaker violence "

Lmao

SNEAKER VIOLENCE!

Ya know, as opposed to money violence, crack violence, and "disproportionate opportunity" violence . Fucking hilarious to me how people try/tried to use MJ as a scarpegoat for hood niggas bein hood niggas

 

[Shizlansky]

I've been saying fuck MJ the coon.

 

[Louis Devinear]

As much as I love Jordan the basketball player. Off the court he is a fucking douche.

This dude is a self righteous cocksucker. Who only serves his own personal interests

Look up Michael Jordan and private prisons

But..

If you hold a position of power or wealth and you don't contribute something of substance it is selling out. Not saying everyone has to be MLK or what not, but you have to realize there are voiceless and disenfranchised people out here. You can contribute on the low behind the scenes and i don't even think Jordan does that.

That's why Bill Russell is the true goat to me. Dude stood up for something and was on the front lines.

Kareem Jim Brown Russell ali were all on them front lines and deserve all the respect. Jordan has done a lot of fuck shit

That nigga doing his best to find the next white hope from America in the NBA

 

[SELASI_i]

Kareem sold out when he broke up with Pam grier

 

[deadeye]

Don't think Jordan really cares either way.

People have been saying that about him for years.

 

[Copper]

MJ won't get in any argument about politics.

The most pro black move he's ever made is help spike Lee finish Malcolm x when he ran out of money

Side note: MJ wouldn't have stopped violence in america over his shoes by speaking out about it...even if he cared

Jordan is a Carolina hustler. Money Mike ain't tripping on none of that. It's all about being wealthy. To each his own , black people too worried about so called leaders when they need to be focusing on themselves. Jordan couldn't change you as an individual even if he woke up as Malcolm tomorrow morning, we expect too much out of people who we think COULD be a positive example while ignoring the blatant negative examples we see on a daily.

All that's bullshit, Mike was put in a position where he was the most revered athlete in the world. Any man that doesn't stand up to affect change is a coward bitch ass nigga. How can you be cool with making millions of dollars while the niggas that emulate you are being beaten, shot and mistreated on a daily basis?

These new athletes are too lazy and pacified to be on that today.
