Jordan lights up a smoke

San Francisco considers itself a progressive city, and as such, things like smoking are not tolerated by a segment of the populace.

So when a San Francisco administrator spotted someone smoking a cigar on public property, well, he hit the roof. Never mind that the "someone" was Michael Jordan and the public property was Harding Park Golf Course, the host of the Presidents Cup: heads must roll.

Recreation and Park general manager Phil Ginsburg told the San Francisco Chronicle that he had already sent an email to the PGA Tour that this will not stand. "It was sort of a gentle nudge reminding them that smoking is illegal, and that we would appreciate their support." Of course, that didn't stop this from turning into a full-scale ‘Cigar-Gate', with everyone from Jordan to Stewart Cink weighing in on the pros and cons of lighting up a stogie. The violation of city rules comes with a $100 fine, so Jordan could smoke enough to give the entire city cancer and still be just fine.
