Michael Jordan Banned from La Gorce Country Club for Cargo Shorts

In 2012, basketball legend Michael Jordan faced a surprising ban from the prestigious La Gorce Country Club in Miami due to his choice of cargo shorts, which violated the club's strict dress code. Despite having worn similar attire during previous visits without issue, Jordan was approached by club officials while playing on the 12th hole and asked to change. Choosing not to interrupt his game, he was subsequently expelled and permanently banned from the club. Jordan expressed his frustration over the enforcement of the dress code, noting that he had never been informed of such a violation before. His representatives stated that they were unaware of any rules prohibiting cargo shorts and suggested it was the club's loss. The incident highlighted the strict adherence to dress codes in exclusive establishments, regardless of an individual's fame.
