Not big news but, MJ suing CHI grocery for $5 million for using his name near a coupon. Judge calls him greedy. Pretty tired of people worshiping him. Whats wrong with him?

Well they shouldn't use his image without permission.

He has a brand to protect.

This is not a story until Lebron clips and attempts to use the coupon.

MJ > LeBron as a player

LeBron > MJ as a person

Their personalities are what make them different, for better or for worse.

There. We settled it. Let's never talk about this again.

In his defense, just giving him two dollars off of one of their steaks for making the HOF is kind of tacky.

MJ is such a mean guy not wanting people to capitalize off his name or image.

I think with enough time.. in today's time.. that people will eventually just hate on anyone and everyone. Even the most likable people. (not saying Jordan is likable, but he was idolized.)

That's a pretty obvious ripoff of MJ, can't blame him for being mad. He doesn't need the money, but the company didn't ask him and that's why he is suing them

quote:

His attorneys put the fair-market value for use of Jordan's image at $5 million and argue in court papers that Dominick's should not be able to benefit by stealing his image and paying less. After legal fees are paid, any damages would go to charity, likely the James R. Jordan Foundation, named after his slain father, according to his lawyers.

Shadur has said Dominick's is liable for an advertisement that was "ultimately stupid and really totally without common sense," but the judge also held that Jordan has tried to make a "legal mountain" from a "legal molehill," according to transcripts.

You realize major universities would do the same thing for using their trademark? If a local Western or Piggly Wiggly used the Alabama script A or Auburn logo the same stuff would happen.

Pretty sure MJ's intent here was to make an example out of the supermarket for using him name, so that others won't do it. I think in this case he's a victim of his own success...he is getting a little too much grief IMO. Is he a prick? A lot of people say he is. But his name is something he has built into a brand and people cant just use it for whatever. This suit was a message for that.

Jordan has an entire law firm that protects him. He may not even know about this.
