Mark Cuban says he’ll lose ‘more than $100 million’ with NBA’s Covid-19 arena protocols

It looks Dallas Mavericks’ billionaire owner, Mark Cuban, will take a financial hit this NBA season no matter how many games his team wins.

“Am I going to lose a lot of money this year? Yes. No question about it. More than $100 million when this is all said and done? Yes. No question about it,” Cuban said on Monday in an interview with a Dallas sports radio station.

The Mavericks are one of many NBA teams likely to open the new season, which starts on Dec. 23, with few or no fans in the stands due to states’ social-distancing guidelines stemming from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Though Cuban’s Mavericks have not yet announced whether the team will initially be playing in front of fans at Dallas’ American Airlines Arena, he said he hopes to be “selling out the place” by some point in the second half of the season.

“Hopefully, post-vaccine, life will be back to normal and everything will be OK,” Cuban said on Monday. “Fans will be in arenas, and it wouldn’t shock me if ... we reach a point in time where there’s enough people with vaccines and everybody’s confident, maybe it’s March, maybe it’s April, maybe even May since we started [the season] late, and we’re just selling out the place.”

Dear White people, Attone for your whiteness! And by the way, please sell out my stadium. Keep Biden in President, you know. He gave us a vaccine. Oops, that was Trump. Sincerely, Mark

Can’t stand him or his team. Same goes for Jerry Jones and his team. They can lose 100s of millions every year.

Mark, you white guy, find a way to change what you do... after all, “it’s a moral imperative”.

Luka Doncic is too good to play for Cuban, he should just return to Europe.

That’s the best news I’ve heard today.

I guess it could get worse for him...but $100 million is good start.

I wonder if the media will ask him if he will write his losses off on his taxes and not pay income tax for the year....

Funny how he can easily field a lineup 5 of white guys
with a white coach.

Luka, Kristaps, Boban, Kleber, and maybe Barea since he’s a ‘white hispanic’.
