Okay, so he's not really giving his wealth to himself, but a man in Portland believes he deserves some of Jordan's moo-lah because after all, the man does have a striking resemblance to Michael. The man from Oregon, Allen Heckard, is suing both the Hoops' star and Nike founder Phil Knight. Why, you might ask? Because he is tried of having the comparisons to the greatest ball player of all time.
WHAT?
Mr. Heckard says that he is permanent injured-emotional pain and suffering.
WHAT?
I'm not too sure about all of you, but if someone approached me and told me I looked like Michael Jordan, I'd be ecstatic! And I'm not even black!
Let's get to the financial business for a minute; the lawsuit would grant Allen a lump sum of $832 million dollars. That's funny, I'm currently suing CNN $850 million for providing the news!
I have to say, earlier today I was watching that documentary "Super Size Me", where this gentleman eats McDonald's for 30 days straight and later analyzes what effect the food had on his body. During that program, the man mentioned two women were suing McDonald's for making them fat. The idiot eating all of the Mickey D's took to the streets and gathered various responses to the lawsuit. A French woman referred to it as "The American Way", and personally, I felt disappointed at her answer. Now I realize that it IS probably "The American Way", or the "Get-Rich-Quick" scheme.
The lawsuit against Jordan really opened my eyes. It showed me 2 things-that people will try anything to get money and America is worse off than I thought.
