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.

I wish @mcuban loved his fans as much as he loves Chinese money. https://t.co/Wm4qkRMStP— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) October 6, 2020
(Cruz followup response 2 hrs ago)
Argue with the lowest TV ratings in history!
Perfect response from Ted.
Cuban is just another dopey rich guy who doesnt realize just how much hed lose under a Marxist regime.
Ted, you’re a United States Senator. Don’t waste your time arguing with an idiot from Pittsburgh.
Down goes Cuban! Down goes Cuban!
Hey, Marko, almost everybody hasn't "watched a game of the finals."
You need to look at you product to see the problem; ain't nobody buying it.
Since BLM IS A MARXIST ORGANIZATION that has NOTHING TO DO WITH ENDING RACISM!!!!

Jason Whitlock gets it.

Mark has to go overboard since he has a penchant for the white Euro player, he’s been criticized for that before.
Ping.
If they don’t have it now, I bet the next t.v. contract will have a viewership clause.
Cuban is an attention seeking blowhard. He’s no match for Cruz’s intellect.
Mark is an OWNER.
So says Cuban, who’s palatial estate isn’t near one black neighbor or hood
And instead of sending his brats to integrated neighborhood public schools, sends them to lily WHITE elite private ones
We can smell your hypocrisy all over, Cuban
Egotistical p**** You could care less about “social justice” If your money wasn’t invested in young black players, you wouldn’t say jack
Gee, Mark then tell us why are millions of your fans not watching?
no kidding...by supporting BLM, Mark is encouraging racism.
