I have for a very long time wondered how that is not a more frequent occurrence (or if it was, how this was never uncovered). Especially given how ornery some of the US sports team owners are. So this is extremely my shit

I suspect almost all US sports owners care more about profit than winning, and therefore they aren’t motivated to skirt the financial rules, while many soccer owners are the opposite I don’t think there’s a mega rich owner that has a major US sports team on a lark unlike PSG, City, Abramovich, etc

Balmer a special case: one of the world’s richest men who poured his own money into building a lavish new stadium for the Clippers.

See, this is why it's important to include qualifiers in declarative statements!

haha indeed!

Cuban clearly hasn’t watched the episode and its depth of reporting that suggests this was a salary cap skirting mechanism. I’ve covered so many financial shenanigans stories involving supposedly sensible/smart actors. “X isn’t that dumb” is such a common refrain. And yet they frequently are!

Cuban talking about how Balmer is not dumb! I want to hear more of how not dumb Balmer is.
