Jordan, Bubba, and NASCAR

 Big news this week in NASCAR was that Michael Jordan is starting a NASCAR team. Jordan will be the majority partner and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin is a minority partner.

Jordan and Hamlin quickly announced that Bubba "Winless" Wallace would be their driver. Anyone shocked by this news should have their pulse checked for signs of life. The sports "reporters" are all talking about how the Jordan team is going to be wildly successful in NASCAR. According to the "experts", Bubba Wallace, who has been winless at Richard Petty Motorsports, is going to take NASCAR by storm and will soon be more popular than Jimmy Johnson. 

Hold the phone, Sloan!! Michael Jordan was a basketball player. He is currently the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets. Jordan was a great basketball player. How's he doing as a basketball team owner? In his ten years, the Hornets have never won a divisional championship. They haven't made the playoffs since 2016. So in a sport where he was the top of the heap, his team hasn't been able to even seriously contend for a championship. If you can't make it in a sport that you know, how will your racing team compete in a sport where you don't have any expertise?

The question that begs asking is "Did Jordan pick the best driver available or did he pick a driver based on skin color?"
