Michael Jordan recently won a lawsuit battle with a grocery-store chain, and received $8.9 million after Dominick’s Finer Foods used his name in a steak ad without his permission.
As bostonglobe added,
‘‘I’m so used to playing on a different court,’’ a visibly delighted Jordan told reporters outside the courthouse. ‘‘This shows I will protect my name to the fullest. … It’s my name and I worked hard for it … and I’m not just going to let someone take it.’’
Jordan added that the case ‘‘was never about money’’ and that he’ll give the damages award to charities in Chicago.
So it appears Jordan will be donating $8.9 million to some lucky charities in Chicago soon.
Congratulations on the win to MJ, and best of luck to those Chicago charities.
