Michael Jordan stayed out of the political opinion game during his playing career, famously saying that “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”
However, since he retired from basketball, the legendary Chicago Bulls star has made it clear which way he leans politically – and it’s to the left.
Back in 2020, Jordan stood with Black Lives Matter, donating $100 million to improve racial inequalities.
“We have been beaten down [as African Americans] for so many years. It sucks your soul,” he said in 2020 according to The Washington Post. “You can’t accept it anymore. This is a tipping point. We need to make a stand. We’ve got to be better as a society regarding race.”
Jordan also donated $2.5 million to fighting Black voter suppresion.
“We understand that one of the main ways we can change systemic racism is at the polls,” Jordan said in a statement.
“We know it will take time for us to create the change we want to see, but we are working quickly to take action for the Black Community’s voice to be heard.”
Jordan hasn’t spoken out in support of a particular candidate, but it’ll be interesting to see if the more outspoken basketball legend chooses to endorse a particular candidate as we head into the 2024 presidential election.
