NBA: Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban ‘OK with doing business with China’
- Cuban grilled by former Fox News host Megyn Kelly over league’s support for Black Lives Matter movement and falling ratings
- ‘So basically, you‘re saying nobody should do business with China ever,’ Cuban says, as Kelly highlights human rights abuses
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has defended the NBA’s decision to do business with China in an often combative interview with former Fox News host Megyn Kelly on her podcast.
In an episode of The Megyn Kelly Podcast released in the US on Monday, Cuban appeared to talk about the NBA Final ratings, the Black Lives Matter movement and the ongoing scrutiny on the league’s relationship with China.
He was asked by Kelly why the NBA was unwilling to condemn China after cataloguing the country’s human rights abuses.
“I personally put a priority on domestic issues. I‘m against human rights violations around the world,” Cuban said
“China is not the only country with human rights violations,” Cuban replied when Kelly asked if these included the ones in China. She pressed the issue again.
