RE: As Michael Jordan once famously stated as an explanation for his apolitical stance, “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”
With that statement, he just outed himself as a Democrat.
I've heard this story before, and I don't necessarily care that Michael Jordan is a Democrat (though I don't understand why), or that he "outed" himself. Jordan, as far as I know, doesn't stick his politics in everyone's face, a la, the "Hollywood Elite." He's taking a business-savvy stance, which is apolitical, which is fine and as it should be.
