Throughout his career, Michael Jordan has always maintained a safe distance from politics. Never known to speak on his party affiliations, Jordan once famously stated, “Republicans buy sneakers too,” is now throwing his support behind a candidate.
Michael Jordan, will host a $20,000 per person fundraiser in New York for President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. Several other NBA stars (past and present) will be showing their support for the President Obama’s re-election that day as well; Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, John Wall and others will participate in a “shoot-around”.
Don’t have $20K to get you in the building? The Obama campaign plans to raffle off tickets for grass roots supporters to attend the event.
This is the first time I recall so many athletes, especially NBA players involved with a political campaign.
