"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 an A$$HAT! He may know a few things about business, but he’s an idiot when it comes to what’s best for the people of this country.
And I don't like him on Shark Tank. I think he is more arrogant that O'Leary, and that is saying some.

Yes, I have a long and growing list of companies I won’t do business with because of their public advocacy of positions on various social and political issues.
There’s ALMOST always a conservative company that has what you need.
I have to admit though, I’m hard pressed to replace Coke and Amazon Prime.
Cubana Boy should go back to producing Girls Gone Wild videos. I wonder if he ever visited the Lolita Express island.
something tells me that buried in the Clinton scandal is a part of him.
What kind of future will his kids have if drunken, perverted, lying, self-centered, war-mongering Clinton gets in?
me too
I hope President Trump taunts him into running against him in 2020. For that to happen Trump has to win and run again. The rats have no one.
Baseball owners want nothing to do with Mark Cuban.
Yes, baseball owners.
Think about THAT for awhile.
He'll be moanin' like a hog stuck under a gate.
Maybe he’s one of the libs who invested in the secret LLC’s that got government contracts through the state department. If so, electing hiLIARy is the only way to keep his a$$ out of jail.
You better believe he’s all about his bottom line.
He’s one strange dude. Never cared for him. This explains why he gives off weird vibes.
Wonder what his cut from the CF and CGI are.
Maybe he likes pizza.
You can always pick out the rich ones who got their money in some sort of windfall. Cuban has a mancrush on The Donald. Envious through and through. Even though he is rich, he is NOT an alpha male, and he sees that Trump is.
Hey Cuban, take your sorrows and invest a lot more of your money in Algore TV. That’s a winner! Or invest in the NY Times. I hear they are making money hand over fist.
There are very few people in this world I have despised since the first moment I laid eyes on them. Mark Cuban and Hillary Clinton top that list. I’m comforted my initial instincts were right.
