They care about the U.S. market, they just know they won't be pulled off the air by our government for a political stance. Only way they'd ever change course is if people actually did stop watching.

That was definitely a hay maker. Awaiting Cuban’s response.

Still no answer from @mcuban

Let’s try simpler. Mark, tough guy, can you say “Free Hong Kong”?

Can your players put that on their jerseys?

Can you condemn the CCP’s concentration camps w/ 1 million Uyghurs?

Can you say ANYTHING other than “Chairman Mao is beautiful & wise”?



That, my friends, is how you win the debate. The equivalent of hitting your opponent with an extra left hook when his knee is on the mat.

Cuban will go ad hominem or revert backing to talking about Cruz on domestic issues ("Can you say 'black lives matter'???") or...say nothing.

I mean, the guy did argue cases in front of the Supreme Court, while his opponent post pictures on Instagram kneeling.

Cubz can’t comment on that bunch. That’s a directive from Adam. I think it is more important for all of us to focus on what is going on here in times like these. Instead of doing a “what aboutism” on China.

Someone help me out here... I thought China was a pretty racist place toward blacks... how is it that they love the NBA?

Was Yao Ming that influential?

Dodging the question? Cuban didn’t even ask a question, he said “have some balls”

basketball is the most popular sport in China. Yao had a lot of due with making NBA the most popular league there but they have always been a big basketball country.

Usually we call that deflecting and it is awarded an automatic L. But these aren’t the usual times are they.

How was it deflecting? I’m guessing you didn’t even see what Cuban said first

It wasn’t a deflection or a question. However, Cuban just deflected. I’m sure you’ll award him an automatic L, with as principled as you are.

If you think I wont criticize China and what they do as it concerns American Citizens watch this youtu.be/McgLMUUHs0I and this movie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China…. But I have never gotten involved in the domestic policies of ANY foreign country. We have too much to do here..

Yep, cuban agrees. When you are having issues in your own household isn’t the Best time to be deflecting about what is going on down the street.

Probably will say nothing.

I mean, if he asks Cruz if he can say "Black lives Matter" then Cruz can just reply and actually say "black lives Matter" then ask Cuban if he can say "Free Hong Kong"

1. There wasn't a question

2. Don't tell a dude he doesn't have balls if you're going to go radio silent any time someone asks you about China. We know Cuban's viewpoints, we know darn well he has some China opinions, but he won't share them. I can't say I blame him for not doing so, but again, don't tell someone they don't have balls if you're going to keep quiet about atrocities for the sake of money.
