Michael Jordan Explains Cargo Shorts Incident at Golf Club


A snooty golf club in Miami asked Michael Jordan to change out of his cargo shorts, which MJ refused to do. Hilariously, His Airness deigned to open up about the fashion faux pas on the links. Per ESPN: “I’ve been there many times and no one told me a thing,’ Jordan said. ‘Then all of a sudden they come to me on the 11th hole and say I can’t wear cargo shorts. Wow! The round is almost over and you want me to buy shorts now? Yeah, right!!’ After declining to change, Jordan reportedly continued his round, but it could be his last at the club. A report in the New York Post quoted a source saying that Jordan, a Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer and owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, would not be invited back. ‘No problem!!’ Jordan replied. A spokesman from La Gorce Country Club said its president was on vacation and declined comment at this time. An employee in the pro shop said that required attire is: ‘a collared shirt and golf shorts or pants, no cargo or denim. If there are pockets on the outside, it’s not allowed.'”
