The off-court scuffle began when Cruz tweeted a link to a news story about sagging TV ratings for the NBA Finals and wrote, Not surprising. Personally speaking, this is the first time in years that I havent watched a single game in the NBA Finals. #GoWokeGoBroke
Cuban chimed in to question the logic of Cruz appearing to cheer for the downfall of a major industry in his own state.
A US Senator with 3 @NBA teams in his state, employing thousands of people and he is rooting for their businesses to do poorly, wrote Cuban in a retweet of Cruzs message. This is who you are @tedcruz. Every minute of your life, this is exactly who you are.
Cruz responded that he still backs the states three teams, but cant get on board with the leagues strong social-justice messaging throughout this years playoffs.
I love @HoustonRockets & have rooted for them my entire life. I happily cheer for the Spurs & Mavericks against any non-TX team, he wrote. But @mcuban the NBA is engaged in a concerted effort to (1) insult their fans & (2) turn every game into a left-wing political lecture. Thats dumb.
Cuban wasnt done, questioning how Cruz could criticize the messaging when he admitted to not watching the finals, pitting the Los Angeles Lakers against the Miami Heat.
You are so full of --. You havent watched a game of the finals, how would you know what is being said or done? wrote Cuban. Since when is a desire to end racism an insult to anyone or political? And you dont think using #GetWokeGoBroke is a partisan insult? Again, this is who you are.

How many millions have you lost on your Mavericks Cuban?
A REAL poll of REAL voters... NBA TV ratings.
Mark, it’s what they said before the finals that ruined it for the fans. They can say whatever they want now because no one is watching.
The “message” the NBA was sending is not about BLM, that is now a sideline. They got the 13 percent’s attention and now it is to get them out to vote. If you look at casual pictures of the teams, they are wearing vote t-shirts, not BLM leads. It never had anything to do with injustice, it had to do with pandering for votes.

So they are saying that they didn’t have the opportunity to vote before? Of course not, that’s be totally stupid, even for a liberal. What they’re saying is they are trying to get the vote count up to make sure the blacks, who normally vote liberal, will get out to vote for the cadaver, Biden, so Harris can relieve him after the election when it is determined Biden can’t cross the street without help when he gets lost. So the NBA is nothing more than a prostitute ring of the liberal party.
Black voting: Liberal - 80%
Conservative - 6%

It's always good to see Ted take people to school.
If the NBA truly believed in their BLM nonsense then all the white coaches should be fired, including Popovich, Kerr, etc. They unfairly benefited from their privilege and irredeemable racism to take a head coaching job away from a deserving black person. Instead, they hire Steve Nash. If you’re going to talk the talk, you should also walk the walk. Lead by example instead of making profits off the backs of black men like the slave owners did 160 years ago.
Ted’s message was based on fact. Cuban’s response was to attack the messenger... typical.
Call it a “cautionary tale” Mark and understand the dynamics at play.
The NBA finally achieved equality. They have the same ratings as the WNBA.
I stopped watching ALL sports. They say they don't care about people like me,but they should because I invested a lot of money into going to sports events,patronizing vendor's products,utilizing sponsors and buying gear. Now I spend zero on them.
This article did not include the part where Senator Cruz invited the sanctimonious Mark Cuban to say word one about the human rights violations by the brutal Chinese dictatorship.
Cuban didnt have an answer.
Run your mouth at the end of the day Cuban you just lost more eyes.And it won’t stop. Keep digging. Maybe you can get some advice from Chris Wallace about di9gging.
