MJ will not pursue legal action for "Crying Jordan" Meme

Michael Jordan and his handlers have been particularly defensive in the guarding of the basketball legend's image. Consider his successful lawsuit against a bankrupt Chicago grocer for unauthorized use of his name.
It seems for the moment, however, that the popular "Crying Jordan" meme is fair game. "At this time we have taken no legal action," a spokesperson for the Hall of Famer told Sara Germano and Stu Woo of the Wall Street Journal.
Whether that means legal action could be taken in the future remains to be seen, but there is a distinct possibility it will be welcomed by some. It seems four minutes cannot pass on social media platforms without the meme recurring.

Exactly what i was thinking. How the heck to do stop that?
Especially since it's basically a picture of him crying. Not that it needs any more embellishment, etc. MJ will not pursue? Because his lawyers told him it was useless me thinks

I just can't imagine that if I have as much money as MJ has that I would care about a Grocery store in Chicago using my name.

C'mon guys, I expected ten pages of straight Jordan memes by now. Might as well make this place a direct library for his lawyers to bookmark.

I assume the lawyers looked into how to profit off of the image.
