Wow, Michael Jordan contributes to Obama's campaign
For some reason I always thought Michael Jordan never did much politically, to keep his MJ brand as inoffensive and attractive to every potential Nike and Gatorade buyer.
Yet I just looked him up in FEC and it appears very strongly that he gave $2,300 to Barack Obama on Feb. 23, 2007. He lists his occupation as retired, and the address he lists is an office in Washington, D.C. When I googled that address, I learned that's the office for one David Falk, Jordan's agent.
So Jordan supports Obama.
(Yes, Jordan is playing Michael Jackson in that photo. No further comment needed.)

He supported Bill Bradley in his presidential run, too.
Publicly, or financially?
I know publicly. There was a gathering for Bradley where several athletes came out on a court to support him. MJ was there.
