On Tuesday afternoon, the Dallas Mavericks called all of their corporate sponsors to warn them of a story coming from Sports Illustrated.
On Tuesday evening, the story hit, thus ending any thought of Mark Cuban’s run for President.
SI’s scathing report details a piggish front office culture inside the Mavericks, inappropriate behavior by former Mavericks team president Terdema Ussery, and the Mavericks permitting team beat writer Earl Sneed to remain on staff despite multiple allegations of incidents of domestic violence.
Cuban can’t advertise himself as a “hands on owner” who literally approves the tiniest change to a marketing plan and escape this.
