Mark Cuban Terrified Of What The FCC Could Do

One of the most vocal owners in professional sports did not mince words when asked for his thoughts of the debate over net neutrality at a conference Wednesday. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to vote on the reforms later this month.

“That will f**k everything up,” said Mark Cuban at the Code/Media conference in Laguna Niguel, Calif, Re/Code reported. Cuban is the owner of the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Dallas Mavericks and co-host of ABC’s Shark Tank.

Later this month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote on a proposal by the group’s chairman, Tom Wheeler, that will reclassify the Internet as a Title II telecommunications service based on the Telecommunications Act of 1934–like a public utility.

“Net neutrality is just a demonization of big companies,” Cuban added.

The voracious entrepreneur also expressed concern that the body voting on the proposal is politically appointed and that in six years, “we won’t know who Tom Wheeler is.”

“Net neutrality” is just another way for the government to regulate our live. Not much different than the “global warming” hoax where the Dems in government think they know better than the rest of us and want to dictate how things are handled.

BAD BAD BAD. Do whatever necessary to block “net neutrality”.

Very few billionaires did vote for Obama and I just find it hard to believe that Cuban did. You don’t have to provide a link but I would like your take on why you believe that they all did.


Quite a few billionaires are DEMOCRATS.. or worse.. i.e. Soros.. Buffet.. Gates.. etc..

Most Basketball players are blacks.. blacks almost universally vote democrat.. Duh!.. even the wealthy ones..

You need to get out more..
Some of the wealthyist love Fascism.. because of what it is..
Fascism is communism run by pick pockets.. and grifters..

What do you see in Washington D.C.?
