Chicago — A real storm has swept through the sports and business worlds as Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball legend of all time, suddenly announced the termination of all advertising contracts and commercial partnerships with Amazon, after accusing Jeff Bezos of having a “dangerous relationship” with Donald Trump.
In a surprise post on his personal blog titled “Wake up, Jeff,” Jordan wrote in a decisive and uncompromising tone:
“If you support Trump, you support hate. I cannot and will not be a part of that.”
According to sources close to the announcement, the entire cooperation campaign worth hundreds of millions of dollars between the “Jordan Brand” brand and the giant Amazon commerce platform was said to have been canceled within 24 hours.
Jeff Bezos, according to the Business Ledger, “was completely surprised and did not immediately respond.” His silence lasted less than a day, however, before Donald Trump jumped in with his usual style.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote an angry post, calling Michael Jordan
“a sports traitor who forgets who made basketball great.”
The comment immediately ignited public opinion, but Jordan did not back down. In a move that sent the entire online world into a frenzy, he responded with just eight words—cold, short, but enough to silence both Trump and Bezos:
“History remembers actions, not noise or tweets.”
Within hours, social media exploded. The hashtags #StandWithJordan, #WakeUpJeff, and #BezosSilence trended worldwide. Millions of fans, from NBA players to Hollywood celebrities, shared Jordan’s post with messages of support.
Sources say that, following Jordan’s announcement, many other major brands are reconsidering their partnerships with Amazon, fearing they could be caught up in this “world-wide scandal.”
Economists have called it “the biggest slap in the face the business world has ever received from an athlete.” A CNN commenter stated:
“Jordan didn’t just beat his opponents on the court — he taught the world about the power of morals and conviction.”
Meanwhile, Bezos has yet to respond. Trump has also been unusually quiet since his single post on Truth Social.
One thing is clear: when Michael Jordan speaks up, no one is big enough to ignore him.
And this time, “Wake up, Jeff” isn’t just a wake-up call for Bezos — it’s a message for the entire American corporate world.
