Mark Cuban: Pres. Trump Needs to ‘Be Able to Take the Blowback’
NBC News ^ | 24 Sept, 2017 | KAILANI KOENIG

Dallas Mavericks owner and businessman Mark Cuban has fired back at President Donald Trump’s criticism of NFL players who decline to stand during the national anthem, as well as the president’s decision to revoke a White House invitation to Golden State Warriors' star Stephen Curry.

“If the president's going to say something condemning a person, an industry, a sport, then he's got to be able to take the blowback that's going to come back,” Cuban told NBC News in an exclusive interview for “Meet the Press.”

If Mark Cuban was an adult in 1972 when a critic of the US Auto industry was speaking of how that industry had abused the American consumer, he would have cautioned the speaker.

Like the Auto Industry, then about to face 15 years of disaster ignored what they wallowed into, Big Three and UAW taking turns at the pig trough, the Sports Giants and the Players dominated by thugs are in a system where they only see the glory of the past -- not the future.

Ignore the dying sports and sink the sickness. Ignore them because they are on auto-bankroll due to cable and mass media for a few more years. Sink the sickness by requiring state legislators to stop stupid sports scholarships and return college athletics to degree seeking amateur students, sophomore and above.

Take down the Federal protections for these monopolies.

Like the auto industry, the money is too good for the Owners to police their player ranks. These players, not all criminals, have a lot of criminality in their midst.

Let's compile what really needs to be done to get the sports industry back to proper reference and size.

Actually, it seems that the ones unable to take the blowback are the idiots in the NFL.

Let’s see if the NFL can take the blowback for what they say and do.

I guess the idiot that wrote the article never saw the blow back Trump has been taking form all sides since he started running.

Mark Cuban. I was wondering the other day why we haven’t heard any of his brilliance since he tried to create panic in the stock markets and was so gloriously wrong. HE’S BACK!

“The players better be able to handle the blowback, and it is coming. The players Dixie chicked themselves.”

Yes, President Trump wil not loose a dime for speaking out against the shameful actions of the NFL, but the same cannot be said for the NFL, and the MSM. Here’s hoping they lose millions, if not billions!

this little jealous bitch male.

He’s in the celebrity bubble and his opinion means nothing. He’s part of the corporate globalist sell out crowd a typical leftist living the high life so far removed from the real world.

To me it is manifest that President Trump is better able than any other human since 1960, my birth year, to handle blowback. Wtf is he talking about?

NBC is running more propaganda trying to spin this against Trump. Many Lame Stream Media outlets no longer allow comments so it isn’t obvious how reviled their spin is by the public.

They want a monolith impression of disapproval when the opposite is true.

This is why the analysis of people who live in the world of social media, media and celebrity can’t be listened to about anything. They’re utterly clueless and have lost touch.

Cuban may be smart in some things. When it comes to politics he’s a moron.

My apologies to morons everywhere.

haven't you heard, Trump is considered a raciss and therefore everything he says is hate speech.

On the other hand. hating the flag is a civil right. If your ancestors were slaves, you are forever a protected class regardless of how many hundreds of millions of dollars you are being paid today.

It seems to me since Cuban trolled earlier this year and got slapped down, he is being more reserved in his wise cracking now.

You worthless POS - he’s condemning people who are disrespecting our flag and our national anthem. If you have a problem with that, GTF out of *** OUR *** country.

I think we start with the local grocery chains that sponsor the NFL teams. Shop at their competitors and every week mail the receipts to the CEO and tell them you won’t be back until they sponsor less offensive organization that employ true Americans.

2.) Local Sponsors first. Mail receipts to the CEO.

Like the collapse of the Big Three of the 70s, they don’t see it coming.
