Mark Cuban Defends Doing Business With China Despite Ethnic Cleansing

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is always one to tell it like it is, even if you don’t like to hear the truth. In a podcast interview with Megyn Kelly, Cuban blasted the NBA for the reason behind the poor viewership, and he also defended their relationship with China.

Television ratings have hit all-time lows with just 5.7 million viewers tuning into Game 5, according to Nielsen Media Research. And a lot of people think the row latings are due to politics.

Some critics have also argued that the league’s public support of Black Lives Matter hurt the NBA with some fans. Whatever the reason, the NBA needs to get back to focusing on their product, and not be so political.
