We’ve been waiting for over a year to hear what Jordan thought about his face being used as the feature image for every event in sports and pop culture and today we have an answer, sort of.
TMZ was able to get a statement from a Jordan rep saying that MJ is okay with the crying meme.
A rep for the NBA legend says MJ is actually cool with the phenomenon … telling us, “Everyone seems to be having fun with the meme.”
Jordan is still a business man first and foremost, so his rep was quick to add that he has limits.
“We haven’t seen anyone using it to promote their commercial interests, which is something that we’re monitoring.”
Jordan sued a supermarket chain last year for using his image without his permission and was awarded nearly $9 million.
Moral of the story: Keep the Jordan cry face memes on social media and you’re fine.
