Marcus Jordan Inherits Dad’s Ego

Despite having a fraction of his dad’s basketball talent, the life of entitlement unique to celebrity children has allowed Marcus Jordan to maintain His Airness’ penchant for narcissism. He just cost an entire university their athletic sponsorship.
A fight over the shoes Michael Jordan’s son will wear at the University of Central Florida has cost the school any future sponsorship with adidas.
“The University of Central Florida has chosen not to deliver on their contractual commitment to adidas,” adidas spokeswoman Andrea Corso wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “As a result we have chosen not to continue our relationship with them moving forward.”

This news is a few days old, but seems even more ludicrous as time passes. I imagine that Marcus’ daddy will bail his son out and negotiate a deal with Nike, or even outfit the school with his own Jordan Brand. But the fact Marcus never thought once about the other athletes at his university is reprehensible.
I guess the asshole doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

“I guess the asshole doesn’t fall too far from the tree.” – Well put Pyle. Most state colleges are tight on money these days, and it’s not like UCF sports is a cash cow.
