"If it means we play to empty arenas, I’m down with that."
Texas is a Red state, but Mark Cuban doesn’t care if it affects his bottom line.
Some Dallas Mavericks fans don’t like him supporting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton while continuing his feud with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
I asked Cuban about that on my NBC Sports Radio Show Tuesday and he didn’t hold back.
“You know what, when it’s all said and done, I’d rather lose every penny than have Trump as president because I care more about the future of my family, my children than I do about my pocketbook," Cuban said. "And so if it means we play to empty arenas, I’m down with that."
Cuban told me he already voted in the election cast his ballot for Clinton. He also said that the Mavericks will not be staying at any Trump hotels this season.
For fans who want him to just stay out of politics after the election, he promises he will. He acknowledged his critics on both sides of this contentious presidential election:
“Maybe I pick up some fans. Maybe I lose some fans. I don’t know," he said. "I’ve heard it from both. I’ve had people say ‘there’s no way I can support you. I can’t go to another Mavs game.’ And I’ve had people say ‘you know what? We’re buying Mavs tickets.' What I’ve heard more often than anything is, ‘are you gonna be this way once the election’s over?’ And the answer is no. You’ve known me forever Newy and I’ve been apolitical my entire adult life and only because I know Donald and I know my feelings about what he would be like as president have I gotten this involved but come November 9, it’s all Mavs all the time.”
Great news that even idiots can be Billionaires in the USA.
This is Texas you idiot. If I was looking to sell my team I do not think I would run off all my fans. Maybe he is looking for a tax write-off.
So many have lost money from me and others I’ve lost count.
Budweiser has been hit HARD by their stupid gay marriage commercial during football.
I even took a survey on it and said i’d NEVER buy it again just like I told Target in their surveys i’d NEVER shop there again.
Just keep your mouth shut. What a STUPID reason to lose money.
Bill Clinton: “Hey Cuban, have another cigar.”
Didn’t he say Trump doesn’t have 100 million in liquidity to put into his campaign?
Obviously he was wrong.
I admire Trump for that. I dont care HOW rich you are, 100 million is a lot!!
What if the elitist communists were the next ones to lose everything and to be lined up in front of the ditch. Would cuban not want some equality?
This guy has a screw loose. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has been involved in something sinister. Bohemian Grove? Lolita express?
Exactly,but Cuban is actually running for the TALL GRASS because his horse is a GODDAMNED FIEND CRIMINAL, and he’s CUTTING TIES.
and you thought stuck on stupid was an eGOP thingy
prime time idiot..
.
What a butt sausage!

“playing to empty arenas too”
Just like Hitlery!
This is a minor point, but I’m unfriending people on Facebook. Specifically, liberals.
Unless he donated his entire fortune to the Clinton campaign, he's lying.
Be careful what you wish for, dumb-ox! It may come to fruition!
Hey Mark, I’ll be happy if you lose every penny too because Donald Trump will be president and you’ll be whining like a three year old having a tantrum.
lol
No no no. Keep posting stuff to piss them off ‘til they unFriend you and run for their safe space.
Butt hurt. Quit watching Shark Tank.
The fact that they are 0-4 isn’t helping.
