# Talk:Statue of Michael Jordan

The following seems to be relevant to me to show his support for the jersey on his statue: On June 6, during game five of the Stanley Cup Finals, Jordan donned a Toews #19 jersey in his suite.

But the source doesn't explicitly say that he was showing his support for the jersey on the statue. Zagalejo^^^ 04:02, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Neither did the text that was previously included. We can leave it to the reader to interpret the press ongoings followed by Jordan's attire, but it is a bit relevant, IMO.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  04:07, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
I'll leave it up to the GA reviewer. Zagalejo^^^ 22:45, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Tony asked me to comment here, but I am not sure what content has been removed - can someone please provide a diff and let me know when that is here? I do have to say from context that the fact that Michael Jordan (the person) wore a Blackhawks jersey (which was all I saw in the newspaper article cited above) does not seem to have a lot of relevance to the MJ statue. If Jordan personally owned the statue and decorated himself to match his outfits, perhaps. Since I do not feel like looking through the article history for the diff, please provide it here.

The sentence read, "On June 6, during game five of the Stanley Cup Finals, Jordan donned a Toews #19 jersey in his suite." Zagalejo^^^ 23:57, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
It was part of this diff.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  00:50, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
P.S. note that I asked Ruhrfisch (talk · contribs) to respond since the GA reviewer passed this without requesting changes and Ruhrfisch is the current PR reviewer.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR)  00:52, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks to both of you. I have to agree that it does not seem relevant to the staue. If there is a source that directly links the two MJs wearing a jersey, then yes. The only way I can maybe see it staying in the article is as a footnote after the sentence on the statue wearing the Toew's jersey, something like "During Game 5 of the Finals, the real Michael Jordan also wore a Toews jersey in his suite inside the United Center.[ref]" but even this seems a bit of a stretch to me.
