Monday, Mark Cuban appeared on the Megyn Kelly Show. The NBA owner spun the NBAs tank-job as hard as he could, discussing the leagues ratings collapse, Black Lives Matter, and the NBAs relationship with China.
As Outkick has written, the 2020 NBA Finals are an historic disaster with games down as much as 58% year-over-year. Kelly accurately blames the leagues decision to go political for the millions of Americans turning away.
You wear a pink ribbon to support breast cancer is one thing. Putting BLM in the middle of the court when its not supported by virtually any Republican in the country [is another], she started.
Cuban then oddly asked Kelly which BLM group she was referring to.
Its a group founded by Marxists, who want to dismantle the nuclear family and defund the police, Kelly responded.
Cuban claimed that BLM.com and the movement were not the same: You never, ever heard [the NBA] talk about Marxism.
Kelly got him again: To pretend BLM dot com, or otherwise is not about defunding the police is dishonest. The basketball players have made clear, they support that.
Cuban didnt deny that certain players want to dismantle the police. Individual players can have their opinions, he says. The NBA is interested in police reform. Weve never talked about defunding the police.
Though Cuban is correct the NBA, as a unit, has never stated they are for defunding police, the league has fully embraced BLM. The group, as Kelly notes, devotes itself to defunding law enforcement agencies across the country.
Cuban tried to argue that there was no one speaking for BLM, but that isnt true either.
The co-founder of BLM, Patrisse Cullors, was on TV saying, We should abolish law enforcement,' Kelly noted.
For some reason, Cuban claimed that networks were simply re-airing Cullors quotes.
Your audience is fleeing, Kelly said on the topic of viewership decline. They object to the politicization of the league [The NBA] has suffered.
Kelly broke down the Finals turnout:
Lowest Finals opener ever. Game 2, another new low. Game 3, down an unprecedented 58% from last year.
This is during a marquee matchup with the Lakers and Heat. Last year, they had some team in Canada. That matchup is crushing what we are seeing now.
Kelly summed up the series: This is an unprecedented viewership collapse.
Here is where the discussion got good. Cuban used the same excuses the sports media has used for years to distract from the NBAs tanking numbers. He blamed the media outlets that Kelly chose to cite: The sources might not be reflective of reality. Kelly said she read about the NBA ratings on Outkick.
You are not looking outside NBA ratings to see what is happening in media, Cuban fired back. He also mentioned horse racings decline.
As I explained last week, NBA defenders are now comparing the league to niche sports like horse racing and hockey. But in 2016, the same media members compared the NBA with the NFL.
Which one is it? Is the NBA on its way to catching the NFL, or is it a niche sport catered to a specific audience?
Mark Cuban wants to get invited to all the fancy parties with his fancy friends.
If he allows himself to understand the truth about BLM and the NBA support of it, he becomes an instant outcast.
The penalty to be paid—average Americans now consider him a non-person and his league non-existent.
Mark Cuban apparently has lots of money but he is kind of a twit, and if he keeps blowing off the issues he is just liable to get his tit caught in a wringer with his cavalier attitude.
Cuban has gotten flak for his history of prefering white players, like Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Luka Doncic, so he tries to overcompensate.
Cuban is playing games.
He’s an ally of he marxist Burn Loot Murder outfit.
Cuban is a phoney.
He's a mealy-mouthed rope-seller. In 2024, when he starts his run for the US Presidency, he'll try to become the white line down the middle of the road (that's not a cocaine reference, nope, no way) regarding BLM, defunding police, cross-dressers in the NBA and WNBA...
Mark Cuban can pretend his 'Shark Tank' intellect drives his investment strategy; but it's the mind of a third world thug that makes deals with Communist Chinese manufacturers to use slave labor to sell overpriced sneakers and other apparel to his customers, all the while inflaming racial tensions to try to make more money.
Mark Cuban referenced the decline of horse racing but doesn't grasp that he thinks of his NBA players like animals instead of people. He can keep taking a knee in horse crap in front of his Marxist gods.
This clown got rightfully smacked by Megyn Kelly.
“MARK CUBAN TALKS NBA TANKING, BLM, AND CHINA WITH MEGYN KELLY”
They were made for each other.
Mark Cuban puts a priority on domestic issues. At the same time he does business with the Chinese Communists. He claims, China is not the only country with human rights violations. China is a customer of ours he explained and Im OK with doing business with China. He wont criticize China because he would have to deal with the troll bots. Doing business with China helps support their regime. This makes him an accomplice to genocide, slavery and organ harvesting. Cuban is an arrogant subhuman beyond contempt.
audience count TWO.
Lets see what Baseball World Series ratings will be like. But the Rangers new stadium where they are playing all 7 games really sucks from the old stadium. No character.
Old
New
Megyn Kelly did not screw herself. She was offered “crazy money” to leave Fox News; money she gets to keep.
down 58%? wow
I never really liked her, but I never despised her like I did recently. I'd like to at least no longer despise her.
Heard an interview today on Tucker with a gentleman that said the NBA in bed with Communist China is creating this CAOS in our country for the NBA to be PRAISING the CCP and TRASHING America has to stop!! Our sports teams used to be Americana all the way with the National Anthem ect. and now these teams TRASH America constantly Americans are FED UP!! I honestly dont think there is any going back we all know who these bastards are now and who their true allegiance is to and it aint America!! The CCP is very happy their plan is working very well for them!! Give the teams enough money and turn them against their country destroy our couture!!
couture = culture. OOPS
Goodell said we should have listened more to Kap.
Well you saw the True Kap who watched you cave and then piled on like the street hood he is by claiming in essence you did little to nothing
One of the oldest bait and switch tricks in the books
