"If it means we play to empty arenas, I’m down with that."
Texas is a Red state, but Mark Cuban doesn’t care if it affects his bottom line.
Some Dallas Mavericks fans don’t like him supporting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton while continuing his feud with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
I asked Cuban about that on my NBC Sports Radio Show Tuesday and he didn’t hold back.
“You know what, when it’s all said and done, I’d rather lose every penny than have Trump as president because I care more about the future of my family, my children than I do about my pocketbook," Cuban said. "And so if it means we play to empty arenas, I’m down with that."
Cuban told me he already voted in the election cast his ballot for Clinton. He also said that the Mavericks will not be staying at any Trump hotels this season.
For fans who want him to just stay out of politics after the election, he promises he will. He acknowledged his critics on both sides of this contentious presidential election:
“Maybe I pick up some fans. Maybe I lose some fans. I don’t know," he said. "I’ve heard it from both. I’ve had people say ‘there’s no way I can support you. I can’t go to another Mavs game.’ And I’ve had people say ‘you know what? We’re buying Mavs tickets.' What I’ve heard more often than anything is, ‘are you gonna be this way once the election’s over?’ And the answer is no. You’ve known me forever Newy and I’ve been apolitical my entire adult life and only because I know Donald and I know my feelings about what he would be like as president have I gotten this involved but come November 9, it’s all Mavs all the time.”
What a butt wart!
Poor team... they have a loser as their owner.
I live in Fort Worth. I no longer watch or go to Mavs games.
“And so if it means we play to empty arenas, I’m down with that.”
Alright Mavs fans, give him what he wants!
And they are 0-4..not like anyone noticed..the Mavs have stunk for a long time
He cares about his family’s future and wants Hillary to be president. Something is wrong with his brain. Like all liberals.
When actor James Garner died, I read his Wikipedia page. Turned out, he was a big lib who’d always supported the ‘rat party. I never even knew that, because he did his job and didn’t go out of his way to piss off half his fan base. Screw Cuban and arrogant people of his ilk.
Cuban is a putz....
Reminds me of the old saying:
“Cream isn’t the only bovine product that floats”
” I’m down with that.”
Me too. Double down and lose more jackass
Take a knee, Cuban.
“And so if it means we play to empty arenas, I’m down with that.”
Another bullsh** artist.
Shark Tanks
He’s just cranky because Trump is going to be President, but Cuban only got to play one in Sharknado.
Cuban is an idiot.
mark cuban,like all liberals, are crazy and deranged, and need help.
I’m really enjoying controlling my remote this election. I don’t hesitate to turn off shows I used to watch regularly. I can name 10 i axedvthis week alone.
I’ve never nderstood why business owners and CEOs take public stands on social and political issues. They are guaranteed to piss off a substantial number of customers regardless of the positions they take.
I’m fine with his taam playing to empty arenas too :)
Wait till Trump wins.
Nobody likes someone who supported a traitor.
