Cuban’s boycott of Georgia

April 23, 2007 at 4:22 pm by Noah Gardenswartz in Sports

No, I am not talking about the country, although the subject of my headline is probably worth more than the entire Communist nation, anyway. I, of course, am talking about the Dallas Mavericks’ owner, Mark Cuban. I don’t know why it was mentioned months after the fact, but during the closing seconds of the Mavericks’ loss to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the NBA playoffs last night, the announcers mentioned that Mark Cuban refuses to do business in the state of Georgia on account of the Genarlow Wilson sentence.

This is a quote from Cuban’s blog:

“Personally, there is no chance I do business in the state of Georgia beyond the committment [sic] the Mavs have to play the Hawks until Genarlow is out of jail.”

I’ve been a fan of the way Cuban runs his franchise for years, but this is all the more reason to like the guy.
