Mark Cuban on Losing Mavs Fans Over Bashing Trump
NBC DFW ^ | Newy Scruggs

"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.”

Jealous, sooooooooooo pathetic. These friggin egomaniac types.

I’m sorry you didn’t think to run for President, Marky, now go suck an egg, nobody cares about you or your shark tank.

If you really really can’t live without the attention you might consider doing something bold like strapping yourself to a rocket and taking a one way trip to the Sun. THAT would have everyone talking about you.

He's an a-hole who is being mentioned in the pedophile investigations at reddit. That would explain this perfectly.

“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, [and I know that a Trump DOJ will put me in prison]," Cuban said. "And so if it means we play to empty arenas, I’m down with that [because i really, really, really don't want to go down with Hillary.]

Mr. Cuban, the future with some one like Hillary really looks better if you are a billionaire...
Being a lefists is so much easier if you have billions to burn through...

People keep predicting that he has a political future. He’s so obvious in his insincerity that it will never happen for him.

“Jealous, sooooooooooo pathetic. These friggin egomaniac types.”

They are jealous of Trump, his success and his family. They are jealous that he’s an Alpha that can get the trophy wife. They are jealous that he has the intelligence, means and balls to do what he wants any way he wants.

Instead of looking at him as an inspiration, they view him as worse than the enemy.

In other words: They are losers who hate those that succeed in life.

And there’s also a bunch of them on FR.

Cuban’s ‘feelings’ is what it has been about the whole time.

Hey, a reminder you owe $50 to Free Republic on our bet.

I hope he’s a great president and does all he has promised.

Mark Cuban, you are smart business wise, but you are a jerk. Hillary is a criminal and you want her to win. Why? Did you and Trump have a fight?
