So, (LOL) they interrupt a grown man more than half-way through a golf game and order him to immediately change his pants, even though he has worn cargo shorts on this course multiple times in the past with no objection from management...hmmm.
There is a certain type of man who loves to go around imposing his will on people under the veil of "authority". Give him the smallest bit of authority and he is quickly lifted up in pride. He says, "You must obey the law!" but he really means, "You must obey me!" We see this in everyone from the grade school bully to local police officers to the rulers of nations.
"Power tends to corrupt." While "absolute power corrupts absolutely," small grants of power produce noisome martinets, intoxicated by their righteousness and authority, hated by all, but themselves.
Should the country club’s rules apply to Michael Jordan?

Michael Jordan may be the greatest player in NBA history, but even he can't get away with wearing cargo shorts on a golf course. Jordan showed up at La Gorce Country Club in Miami on Wednesday wearing cargo shorts, which is against the dress code at the facility.
Apparently no one noticed until he played a few holes of his round, because while on the 12th hole, Jordan was approached by club personnel who asked that he return to the clubhouse and change his pants. Jordan refused and was then asked to never return to the club. Which seems a bit harsh.

To me this is a poorly written article that has left many key things out and apparently saying Michael Jordan may do as he pleases. I guarantee you in my home there are rules meaning "Yes" he does have to wash his hands after he uses my bathroom!
I am suspecting the dress code infraction is buried deep in the fine print of the contract. I'm also suspecting that somebody reported him on that particular day, possibly somebody that didn't know who he was, or didn't care, and wanted to make a scene about it. He doesn't appear to be dressed in inappropriate attire for a round of golf, but then again, some folks just are more "traditionalist" than others.
A rule that important makes heaps of sense to me, and would have nothing to do with making people buy $75 shorts from the pro shop that don’t have the extra pocket.
You know the price of all the shorts in this places pro shop? Lol...now that's a reach....the clubs entire future rests on Michael Jordan buying a pair of less than $100 shorts?
Many Public Courses have dress codes including Torrey Pines, Pebble Beach and Trump National.
And you're even more full of it as I know a club where the buy in is $75k and a member wears swimming trunks when he plays. But a shirt must have a collar.
Why is it some of you people keep swinging after the bell? Lol...move the F*** along! You're just wrong and guessing!
Millions play and enjoy the game! You are against this just because you don't like it?
