Mark Cuban says critics of the NBAs Black Lives Matter activism should focus on Fox News ratings before the league.
The Dallas Mavericks owner says a 4% dip in ratings for the league has far more to do with Joseph R. Bidens presidential campaign than politicized programming alienating fans.
Lol. You do realize that was the day @JoeBiden picked @KamalaHarris? the billionaire tweeted at Fox Sports Radios Clay Travis on Thursday. Nothing makes a Fox News viewer want to get lied to more.
Cubans comments failed to take into account strong ratings for baseball and hockey despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Similarly, NASCAR enjoyed the third-and-fourth most-watched sporting events televised last weekend.
Explain why advertisers pay 3x or more for a prime time @Nba spot over a Fox News Spot? the billionaire added. And who has had advertiser boycotts?
Mr. Travis countered by comparing the leagues ratings versus those for Fox stars Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson.
Head to head on Monday night on cabl: Tucker Carlson viewership: 4.5 million. Lakers-Nuggets viewership: 1.5 million. Head-to-head on Tuesday night: Sean Hannity: 4.6 million, Blazers-Mavs: 930k, Mr. Travis tweeted. Yikes, NBA.
Take a knee Cuban 13% of the population may think B-ball is king, but personally I find it boaring....and the Mavs suck!
Sometimes a Cuban is just a cigar.
And Mark can shove one where the sun don’t shine.
Is that so?
I half expected him to run.
You could be right.
Yes. Bulldykes in SF and Portland love the WNBA, I'm sure.
Cuban sticking his fingers in unwelcome places (story is by as respected a journalist as youll find out there).
Lesbian women?
It will be interesting to see which has lower ratings, the democrat convention or the NBA.
Shut up Marc, you moron. You all brought this on yourselves and i hope the league disbands .
Cuban needs to STOP taking STUPID PILLS!
A lousy 4% drop??
Piddling.
Kaepernick, James, Wallace, et al cured me of professional sports.
College sports remains to be seen.
If not for the NBA, America would have the worlds tallest trash men.
There is more than that.
Who knew, it was a very short rehearsed deal that nobody watched or remembered because Biden ran away from the media when they asked him a simple question.
Mark Cuban... what a waste of space!
