Basketball Legend Michael Jordan Speaks Up

Recently NBA Legend Michael Jordan broke his silence about the police shootings in communities. People were given the opportunity to respond to his comments through a social statement. (You Got 99 Words) I chose to use the (You Got 99 Words) as an opportunity to offer my idea. This is what I wrote.

Thank you MJ for speaking out, donating funds, and creating a shift. My idea is (fans respecting other fans) FROF – use it as a marketing tool to represent people respecting other people, police officers, sports teams… The idea is to give (humanity) a chance to learn and laugh about opposing fans. America needs a whole new approach to dealing with our hate. Hope this helps. All I know is if MJ puts in the effort to this situation like he did for his basketball career then this ignorance is removed from our planet in a month. Game On!

Fans Respecting Opposing Fans

Regardless if you think my idea sucks or is genius I wanted to take it a step further and follow up the response with a possible video to further the idea. Remember: FROF is Fans Respecting Opposing Fans. Which I think is a good place to start due to the backdrop of how certain fans feel toward other franchise fans. Like the San Francisco Giants fans vs Los Angeles Dodger Fans. If we can get these two baseball franchises to show respect for one another than maybe we can branch off into other areas of communities that exhibit no or little respect.

The mock example:

1. Two Miami Dolphin fans walk up the stairs of Jets Stadium. It’s the hard core Jets Fan Section. The Jets are losing 34 – 0 in the second quarter.
2. The two Dolphin fans go to sit down and they have the whole row to themselves.
3. One Jet fans behind them says, “Dolphin’s Suck.”
4. Response from Dolphin Fan, “Not today.” He looks around and regrets saying this to a group of angry men.
5. One of the Jet fans throws food wrapper at the Dolphin fans head.
6. Then we see another angry Jet stand up. He shakes his head as to say don’t bother. A group of angry men give the Dolphin fans a stare down. The wild bunch.
7. An unnoticed older woman is reaching inside her purse and pulls out her wallet. She grabs the ear of one of the men who yells, “Ahh Ma!”
8. The guy buys the two dudes a bud light. Apologizes.
9. Just then a whole row of beautiful woman wearing Miami Dolphin jersey’s walk up the stairs of the stadium. They sit next to the right and left of the two guy’s that reserved the whole row.
10. The Miami Dolphin Fan say’s: “I’m Jerry, our Model Agency is doing a photo shoot today would you mind mixing seats with the lady’s for a photo shoot? We will pay you for it of course.
11. Jet’s fan: You’re “Beeep Beep” Me.

The tag line: You never know who someone is till you take the time to find out who they are, so take the time to find out. FROF
