Show Them the Money
"If you look up stupid in the dictionary, you see a picture of the USA Dream Team playing for free for corporate America so the U.S. Olympic Committee can make billions of dollars,” Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner and business mogul, told reporters before the Mavericks-Chicago Bulls game on Saturday. For months, Cuban has lashed out at the committee for making millions off players and even more off televised events with no return back to team owners. On the player’s side, Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics were slammed earlier this year for suggesting Olympic athletes should be paid.
