and you made a great point that in the ten year years that i covered news in chicago, michael jordan never stepped his toe into anything politically, and anything that was seen as dicey waters, and he dove right into this one as a former player and owner. >> and most famously, of course, what is going to be in the write-up of any michael jordan is to challenge jesse helmp s saying that even he buys tennis sh shoes. and others have as well, because donald sterling is bad for business. state farm, one of the biggest sponsors of the clippers is talking about pulling out the sponsorship of the clippers, and once they are toxic, they are expandable. and watch the owners throw the owner of them overboard as fastly as possible. >> and whether the tattoos makes them thugs or the associate of the neighborhood makes them a gang player, and all of this things with the player, but this is caught on tape, the allegedly owner, and everybody has to ask themselves involved with this, would we react so slowly if this were a player? is. >> yes, and think of the way that tiger woods, both the womanizin
