Mark Cuban Cancels Appearance At SXSW 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 28, 2018 12:28 am

Mark Cuban has canceled his scheduled appearance at SXSW in Austin. Cuban was scheduled to be a featured speaker on March 10th.


Cuban's cancellation follows a $600,000 fine for his comments about tanking as well as a report from Sports Illustrated detailing sexual harassment allegations within the Mavericks.


Cuban said in an email Tuesday that he cancelled the speech before news of the Mavs scandal. 


Cuban said organizers were unable to schedule a moderated for the featured speech.

I believe Cuban cancelled this appearance before the scandal as much as I believe he didn't have any clue of the environment he enabled for almost two decades. :crazy:

It's funny when rich people think the public just believes everything they say when it is obvious the opposite is true. No, that's actually pathetic, especially when the guy selling the lie is supposed to be intelligent.

It's no secret why the day before the Sexual Harrassment expose comes out through Sports Illustrated, he comes out with a misdirection story to take the heat off that story. He knew it was coming out so he screams, " We're tanking!"

Seriously.

there's a reason top tier free agents don't want to sign in tax free dallas, the league would be better without cuban
