Cuban, Cruz feud highlights a new era of sports debate

A billionaire NBA owner and a U.S. Senator argued on Twitter Monday.

It was ostensibly about sports but it quickly broke into a game of cable news bingo, with the two sides bringing up the national anthem, Hong Kong protests, Black Lives Matter, Uyghur internment camps, pandemic responses and, of course, Donald Trump.

In the end, nothing was agreed upon other than both sides accusing the other of being a hypocrite and a coward. It was typical Twitter. The only casualty was proper punctuation. Grammar didn’t fare much better. Even the rich and educated butcher those, apparently.
