Marcus Jordan, a University Central Florida basketball player, is letting his team know that he will not be wearing Adidas brand shoes. UCF has a five year contract with Adidas for all their sports that does not end until June 30, 2010. Marcus, a first year point guard, says he will only wear Nike Jordans because “they hold a special meaning to his family.” There have been reports that UCF is working out a deal that could cost the school $3million. Adidas is aware of the situation and a new possible contract is in the works.
My personal opinion is that Marcus needs to stop being money hungry and wear the darn shoes. His reason for not wanting to wear Adidas was not even legit. Maybe if there was a contract he had that the Jordan family should only wear their Jordans, but not because they have a symbolic meaning.
Ha, any other opinions?
