It's old news, there was no "announcement". Players are interviewed by the media, and they answer questions. That question, for some reason, continues to come up, and Michael Jordan simply gives an answer.
If you want to blame someone for that, blame the media(who ask the questions as if it's big news and put it in the headlines as if it's big news), not the fans and definitely not Michael Jordan.
I blame BOTH the media and the Jordan Zombies. If people were more like bsams and myself willing to speak up in outrage that the media puts Jordan at higher importance than civil servants doing their job for a helluva lot less money than Jordan makes. I do blame the same fans who pay upwards of a thousand bucks to see Jordan play in one game but dont want people saving their lives to get salary increases. So yeah I do blame the Jordan Zombies who have no real sense of priorities.
There is nothing anyone will ever say to convince me that Jordan should make more than those risking and saving lives on a daily basis.
