I think it's fair to say that the NBA was the first sport that was widely viewed as a black sport. And whatever the numbers ultimately are for the other sports, the NBA will always be treated a certain way because of that.

  • Be Like Mike. the Catchphrase of One of the Most Memorable Ad Campaigns of All Time
    Be Like Mike. The catchphrase of one of the most memorable ad campaigns of all time. The three simple words linked with the Gatorade commercial of 1992 convey a simple message. In order to be more like the superstar athlete, celebrity and role model Michael Jordan, consumers should drink Gatorade. Flash forward twenty-eight years and a new three-word slogan takes center stage in an NBA ad, Black Lives Matter. While sharing the same word count, the phrase goes much further in meaning. The phrase promotes ideas of bringing awareness to racial injustice, systemic inequality, and social justice. Whereas the original ad blended footage of Michael Jordan’s athleticism on the court and his interactions with fans, this new campaign portrays the league’s current generation of stars as activists. Videos and images depict stars from across the league attending and speaking at protests against racial injustice. These ads are starkly different, depicting America’s that do not appear remotely similar. Jordan’s ad was created in a time where America was both ignorant and unready to have the important dialogues seen today. What the 1992’s Be Like Mike and 2020’s The Truth is that Black Lives Matter ads do share is a reliance on a specific Kairos as well as rooting their rhetoric in different pathos and an ethos related commonplace. The idea of Kairos plays heavily in both ad campaigns yet uses the concept in wholly different ways to persuade. The Be Like Mike ad Campaign relies on several key factors for its rhetorical situation.

  • I Still Want to Be Like Mike | Page 1
    I Still Want to Be Like Mike | Page 1 I Still Want to Be Like Mike By: Jack Greiner on September 9, 2015 on graydon.law Michael Jordan recently enjoyed a payday nearing almost $9 million. But he didn’t earn it on a basketball court, a baseball diamond or even a golf course. This payoff came in a federal district court. Jordan successfully sued Dominick’s, a Chicago area grocery chain when it placed this ad: in a Sports Illustrated special commemorative issue celebrating Jordan’s induction in the Basketball Hall of Fame. The thing is, Dominick’s never bothered to get Jordan’s permission to use his name. Jordan sued the grocer for violating his right of publicity – arguing that another person can’t profit by using Jordan’s name or likeness in an ad. The law is based on a the notion that Jordan has the right to control his name and likeness – meaning he and he alone gets to decide how it gets used, and if it gets used, how much he gets in return. Of course, there was nothing in the ad that suggested Jordan was endorsing Dominick’s and an argument can be made that a corporation has as much right to congratulate a celebrity as anyone else. But including those well wishes in an ad that offers $2 off on steaks is asking for trouble. And in this case, a lot of trouble.

  • Does It Pay to “Be Like Mike”? Aspirational Peer Firms and Relative Performance Evaluation∗
    Does It Pay to “Be Like Mike”? Aspirational Peer Firms and Relative Performance Evaluation∗ Ryan T. Bally Jonathan Bonham Thomas Hemmer University of Michigan University of Chicago Rice University August 2017 Abstract We examine the manner and extent to which firms evaluate performance relative to aspirational peer firms. Guided by the predictions of an agency model, we find that CEO compensation increases in the correlation between own and aspirational peer firm performances. In addition, we define and test conditions where aggregate peer performance, which has been the primary focus of prior relative performance evaluation studies of competitive peers, is expected to have an association with CEO compensation. These conditions are supported by our empirical re- sults. Finally, we document that our results are more pronounced when the firm-peer relation- ship is one-way and the peer firm is in a different industry and therefore is more aspirational. JEL classification: G30, M12, M52. Keywords: aspirational peer groups; relative performance evaluation; performance correlation. ∗We appreciate helpful comments from Robert Bushman, Mirko Heinle, Raffi Indjejikian, Eva Labro, Abbie Smith and seminar participants at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the University of Chicago and the University of California at Berkeley. yCorresponding author: Stephen M.

Introduction Relative performance evaluation (RPE) stresses the importance of benchmarking firm perfor- mance to that of a group of peer firms. Beginning with Antle and Smith (1986), a vast number of empirical RPE studies have focused on the role of peer firms operating within the same competi- tive arena, which subjects them to common economic shocks.
