cargo pants != cargo shorts

banned for bacon neck.

He should be banned for that stupid hat.

MJ should just buy the club, then he could wear whatever he wanted.

Holy crap, how effing far does the rod up your ass have to be to report Michael Jordan for wearing cargo shorts. That sounds like a guy I want to hang out with.

Everyone knows that you can't wear ****ing Cargo shorts at a Country Club, including Michael Jordan. He obviously thought he was above the rules.

You don't ban the greatest of all time. He bans you.

I agree with Mike on this one. He had to check-in, they should have said something then. To interupt the man with several holes to go is nonsense.

Stuck-up rich people on a power trip.

This is just dumb

what a bunch of ****ing pillowbiters. Especially the people who were offended by it and had to go tell on him.

They should be punched in the face, by me. I really really really want to do it.

Not necessarily. I've played plenty of times and not checked in. Just joined the group at the tee or practice green.

it's golf; what do you expect.

I got denied when i had on a shirt without a collar. had an under armor shirt thingy. Granted, it was a really really nice place....but this doesn't surprise me at all.

Don't like the rules? Don't join.

Not going to argue with that, it's just that some assholes have nothing better to do but go full reerun on rules.

No starter, no valet, no caddie.... dang...never seen that anywhere.

I've had some one pull that trash with. I told them that I got it in their pro shop.

lol

No caddies, carts. Valets don't care. I've never totally violated the dress code, but you really expect some teenager is going to tell MJ he can't wear cargo shorts? And you'd have to think the host was a swinging dick too....so you're likely pissing off 2 powerful men.

LMAO
nice.

BIRDIE BITCHES!

Stupid rule.

Well, he should be. He's Michael ****ing Jordan.

Michael should open a baskeball exhibition down the street and turn away anyone wearing ****ing loafers or Ralph Lauren.

#richpeopleproblems is serious business.

He should open up a basketball gym and let all the thugs go! that should be alot of fun for them bitch ass rich people

hes obviously bored with his life.

I bet those assholes that ratted on him were like

"can you believe that *insert racial slur here* was on our golf course wearing those pants?"

"oh my god, what is this world coming too. I just can't believe that someone wore those pants to our golf course."

"will you hold me tonight, the thought of that colored man wearing cargo shorts is going to have me quite scared."

Its MJ, he should be able to play golf in his ****ing hanes boxer briefs if he wanted too! haha

..this board is full of idiots.


..he isn't any better than anyone else that steps on the course.

I'm just annoyed on principle here. MJ golfs all the time. He didn't know the rules of normal country club wear? Bullshit. The "they won't ban me" act makes me enjoy that they did ban him. Don't get me wrong, I really like MJ both as a player and person.

I am not a country club guy, if for no other reason than I can't afford to be. That being said there are rules to sports and expectations in sports. If you don't like them then don't ****ing play them. Just because people like to follow traditions doesn't make them a bunch of spoiled, stuck up dickheads(even if they are such in other aspects of life).

The one thing I would say is that the people telling was a little stupid. The golf course seeing it themselves is one thing, telling on him is a little much. I just would have been annoyed by it and let it go.

Jordan should get away with anything. Best athlete I've ever seen

I would let him in my house to take anything he wants.

I can't imagine many houses in the world containing something he doesn't already have.

He has a meth lab?

Haha. Nice. Well I am sure he could have an underground meth city if he wanted one.

I bet the people that ratted him out lost bets to him on that course.

it's reeruned to have a strict dress code to play ****ing golf.

Seems like a cargo shorts type of game.

it's because he's black.


...just kidding.


...but seriously though...it's because he's black

You can't golf black without white ho mistresses.

It's how golf is. Different expectations for different games. Don't like it, don't play golf. Or at the very least, don't play golf at a country club that has such rules.

Unless you're Michael Jordan, cause then you should be able to do whatever the **** you want.

That's funny.

Not quite the same pull back when you were playing aye Mike?

Racists.

...you are full of idiots

...it's not about him, it's about the stupid rules that they have and that they actually enforce the aforementioned stupid rules

Why do people have to dress like total douches to hit a stationary ball and ride around on a cart for a few hours?

snobbiest sport of all times......do they allow women to play yet?

I don't see 4 popped collars, so no wonder he was banned.

*snicker*

http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=I.48778...h=145&c=7&rs=1

he makes the rules..

...while being outside?

They should at least be able to wear comfortable clothes

LOL that's exactly what I was thinking. First of all, it's Michael Jordan. Secondly, who really gives a shit what someone is wearing at a golf course? Even if it angers you and you DON'T report it, you're still a giant douchebag. But then going ahead and reporting it....****ing kill yourself(ves). Golf....

Judge Smails strikes again.

Yuppies.

I have to wear cargo shorts to play golf. If I do not, then I am stuck carrying my flask around all day.

Golf is much more fun when there are 3 balls to hit and it is total random luck if you hit the right one.

I actually like the game of golf to a degree. I get it. Being outside with freshly cut grass, hitting the absolute shit out of a little ball with a big giant metal club. It feels good. It's a shame I'm complete and utter dog shit at it, or else I would play the game myself. However, it's really the PEOPLE that can ruin it. Like others have already said, there are a lot of snobby, horribly dressed dipshits out there that care more about appearance and shit than just the game itself. It's sad and pathetic. It's like the people that listen to rap music in their cars and turn it up really really ****ing loud when they enter a QuikTrip parking lot. Most of those people don't really enjoy going deaf listening to that shit. They just want everyone else to NOTICE that they're listening to it. Makes em feel "cool" or whatever. I wish I had a rocket propelled grenade for those assholes to be honest...

He is not above the rules.
Nope, dead wrong.
Exactly
Those shorts look like ass and are banned for a reason.

Your and idiot

A country club is established with rules, and all of the members pay a significant amount of money (not me, I can't afford it and don't want to be part of that lifestyle) to be part of that club with those rules. Jordan isn't above the rules, especially as a guest.

Kind of where i am with the sport. Ive played it, its ok..not my favorite, but i get how it can be fun.

I just dont get why there has to be this "Air of elitism" about the sport? I guess i dont understand the history.

YOUR AND IDIOT

It's still ridiculous. I'm not advocating that Jordan has rights or that he should sue the place. I just think it's stupid.

Why doesn't MJ just buy the golf course?

LMAO

That would be pretty funny.

It would be the ultimate **** you.


He could just lounge around in his cargo shorts all ****ing day long. ROFL

Why?

Because they are the same as normal khaki shorts.....EXCEPT THEY HAVE A POCKET ON THE LEG!!!!! OH THE HUMANITY!!!!! POCKETS ARE EVIL!!!!! I MEAN DAMN...SOMEONE COULD USE THOSE POCKETS TO PUT STUFF IN OR SOMETHING!!!

The story of golf, as related to me by a born Scotsman and master storyteller - There once was a village idiot who grew bored with drunkenly meandering about town all day, so one day as he was walking with his stick, he smacked a rock with it and thought "well, thats a bit of fun"

But pretty soon the villagers grew tired of the idiot, his rocks were hitting people, hitting their houses and so they said "get out of here and dont come back, idiot"

So across the fields he went, smacking his rock as he went, when one day his rock fell into a ground squirrel hole, well, he thought this added an exciting new twist to this game he had since dubbed "smiting the stone"

So on he went across the field, looking for holes to smack his rock into, pretty soon he came to another village, and as he passed through, that villages idiot noticed him and asked if he could join him in smiting the stone... but soon they were thrown out, just like the last village.

So on they went across the fields, and as they passed through the next village, another idiot thought this all looked like great fun and so he joined them, and again they were thrown out, and on across the fields to the next village they went, collecting idiots as they went, enthralled were they all with smiting stones into squirrel holes.

Soon every village idiot in Scotland was playing smite the stone, and the rest as they say... is history.

This story would have been a lot more fun if he would have just ripped the pockets off and just continued to play.

So since George Brett was one of the best ever at what he did, he should be able to walk into a restaurant naked?

Same thing.

I don't really care for the snootyness of Country Clubs, but those members have chosen that environment, and all agree to it.

Heck, they got upset at me one time for pissing behind a tree, so I just choose not to go most of the time. Their rules, their club. Jordan is not different.

Only servants carry cargo. You can't be a country club member if people confuse you with the servants.

It is written into the rules of every CC I have played at in the last couple of years, and I don't care for it either, but it is the rules.

I suspect it is written in the rules because they are just plain ugly and sloppy looking?

One of our Naples Fl. group had to buy a pair of shorts in the Pro Shop last year, and was told ahead of time not to wear the cargo shorts.

There are dress codes at most golf courses, even public municipal courses.

Did he join the club? Did he understand the rules before he joined? Is there a reason he couldn't understand the rules?

I don't understand the issue.

The only issue is Michael Jordan could buy and sell your dumb ass.

MJ is a grown man and plays tons of golf. He knows the rules and etiquette, especially at very exclusive private clubs. He was an invited guest and should have had a second thought about wearing cargo coolots.

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't ban Michael Jordan from a golf course.

The issue isnt whether or not he knew the rules...im sure he did. The issue is the dumb etiquette rules of golf that dont serve any purpose other than to promote elitism and snobbishness.

Why...You buy a hat like that it probably comes with a free bowl of soup!

It's not a rule of golf to wear any particular attire. It's the respect due as an invited guest of an exclusive country club. His club sponsor probably paid hundreds of dollars for his green fee (no one plays for free), plus other expenses. This isn't that difficult to figure out. I guarantee you that MJ knows what's appropriate. Maybe he was being childish towards people richer than he.

So, he is above the rules? Hardly.
