I’m dead 😂😂

Heeeheee

[@peterpaz4877]

MARK----AND I'M SURE YOUR MOM WOULD AGREE----SHOOTING SPITBALLS IN CLASS IS NOT THE PATH TO AN "A"

[@djrt8179]

Damn I was thinking the exact same thing lol

[@andredarden7052]

Lmao

[@clags2006]

I worked for Cynthia Marshall she is amazing and inclusive is an understatement. Would love to be a part of any tram she is on

[@johnnydavislive7013]

I recently met Mrs. Marshall in NC...She is an awesome person! Sharp and caring! Although she is very nice, professional and firm...you can see her values are top notch! PS... and as Far as Mr. Cuban is concerned...he seems to be an awesome person...making the right moves...he certainly has my support! All the best to both...Forward March! :)

[@reisemoran8954]

If anyone wants to actually read her resume and read into who she is maybe then it wouldn’t look like he just wanted to hire a black woman. Though times are harsh on women and people of color, that is not always how it goes. He made the right choice. Mark wants to make things right.

[@DeShawnMcDonald]

Hiring a poc in any position of importance now a days has the bigots crying regardless of qualifications

[@davedurosier]

Trust me yo. There is some business move into it. There is a reason why he hired her.

[@whatswhat446]

Reise Moran “Times are harsh for women and people of color” wtf you mean dipshit 85% of the nba is black when they’re a minority ... if times were tough there would be none lol you told me the greatest joke of all time thanks

[@reisemoran8954]

Whatswhat That wasn’t talking about basketball, it’s way more generalized. I think u should work on ur reading comprehension chief.

[@reisemoran8954]

Whatswhat you can’t tell me that in this day and age women and people of color are being treated very well. That’s what that was referring to.

[@kinqmav226]

Rachel did a great job in this interview, hitting Cuban hard in while still keeping it professional

[@williamburton7266]

Yes!

[@JoFlirt]

As a diehard Mavs fan, im hurt about this fiasco but glad the help that is needed has taken place in HR reform.

[@jsmithepa]

What the new CEO says about Cuban doesn't even want to look at her action plan says a ton. Cuban just wanna have fun, he doesn't care, doesn't want to get involved, or even be responsible for the other aspects of the team. Unfortunately owners have ultimate responsibility for everything.

[@shanaaynay69]

I think Cynthia Marshall will do a great job to clean the Mavericks' mess. Can't believe some of these clowns were getting away with the sh*t that they were doing! Unacceptable in the workplace.

[@legodisthebesteversomelege4778]

Mark Cuban = Good Owner but he looked spook.

[@Slenderirl]

wat? this is terrible ownership, lucky his is the boss or he'd be done!

[@yomamascupoftea9459]

You'd be too if you were about to lose your team

[@joshuaespinoza2567]

Mark checks out ok. He definatley hired the best person to make change with a impeccable resume. I never heard of anyone else donating 10mill and hiring one of the best ceo. Says alot thats hes not cheap. Alot of woman are gonna be happier. These woman sacrifised for many many more. I hope the people who left the career would be compensated and offered a new start with a fresh path back on the team. Nice play mark. Yes , he has no problem donating the full 10 mill. Reports will show and he knows it but 10 mill to a billlionaire is 10k for everyone else.

[@shonjohn9023]

Actor of the year. Marc Cuban

[@KK-pm7ud]

Interesting watching all the comments for Monday Morning Quarterbacks. He's a billionaire. What have you done? Cut him some slack. Most billionaires would handle it differently AND still keep the team.

[@PatrickMHoey]

I don’t know if he’s sincere or just the guy in this situation who has the best poker face.

[@deantackett2059]

Mark is the man!!! As a mavs fan 100 percent behind him!!!

[@Slenderirl]

ew

[@VictorFernandezBigdestroyer]

Cisco A I’ll get you banned from KZbin for saying ew to him.

[@MICHAEL_MAY_8]

Mark Cuban is a good dude. Yes, he made some mistakes but nobody is perfect. I live in Dallas and have been a Mavs fan since the 80's so i've followed Cuban since day one. He just got caught up in being Mark Cuban and dropped the ball as a result. It wasn't done with malice. He has owned up to his mistakes and has vowed to do better going forward. So let's give the guy a break!

[@BeANicePerson_]

Excuse me did I hear that right.. They put a ethic mission to the organization. Listen closely Cuban clearing his throat at the same time. For a professional team it takes 20 years to teach ethics?

[@lilgoatbiggoat8475]

He ain't Mark Cuban any more he Big MC!!!! PR SKILLS ON POINT!!!! Legendary Billionaire

[@dez4three617]

THIS DUDE SITS ON A PANEL OF A TV SHOW RATING AND TELLING PEOPLE HOW GOOD THEIR BUSINESS IDEAS ARE... Here we are watching the from the greener grass.

[@GameMasters10]

Now I know why the Dallas Mavericks have been a dissapointment for so long, even with all the support and money available.The front office was too busy with extra curricular activities; not putting the time where it matters in making the team great. It is sad to hear how so many women have been hurt. The Mav's fans should also be upset in now knowing the front office was not doing what was right for the team to win. But the lives of women who have been affected comes first before basketball now.

[@FaptainMurica]

I'm happy to be a fan of the Mavericks. That corrupt culture has now changed and it makes me proud to be a fan of the Mavericks and having Mark as the owner. He fucked up, but he is trying to redeem himself.

[@DrewLutz0185]

Haha he should just stop saying he knows everything about the company... dude your an owner... and have a tv show... is anyone surprised he never went to the office? Yikes...

[@BadBoyRDW8]

After watching that interview I like that woman and I find her genuine and I think this was a good move for Mark. 😎

[@daisyjesse5837]

Is that really Marc Cuban?

[@AlmeM]

yes, he is really marc Cuban

[@csack7904]

I'm no Mavs fan. I think Cuban screwed the pooch on most of this stuff leading up to things blowing up. BUT he explained HOW and WHY he has trust in this woman and was then willing to delegate the control in this situation. He also explained how he didn't do that with previous leadership when he bought the team. Mark Cuban crams 30 hr days into a 24 hr day (20 hr day of we assume he sleeps at least 4 hrs). When you're a mogul at his level you have to delegate most things to qualified people. He's learned the hard way that he needs to be more diligent to vet his people moving forward. I actually believe he wasn't culpable in all of this. He was simply a hard working self made millionaire (at the time) that had the opportunity to fulfill a dream and buy a NBA franchise. He went into it like any NBA fan would. Little to no knowledge of the operations of a NBA franchise. And he did what we all would, which is rely on the leadership/staff that was already in place. Moving forward he will be a better and more proactive businessman and leader.

[@neilboston4629]

Stfu fuck Rachael

[@connect697]

He messed up and he knows it, and we can know for sure it won't happen again in his businesses

[@mystabee]

Dood choice was progressive. Fix the problem. Make a stance, get quality. Send a message there will be change. Pro move. Good move. 500iq

[@vladimiretienne5656]

Lol great acting by Mr. CUBAN... atleast he was man enough to sit on the hot seat ....because she held zero punches

[@DeShawnMcDonald]

Mark Cuban either spinning this like a pro or he is just bad at being an owner

[@scottipippen6554]

Exuse me? Ever heard of a guy named Trump?

[@VictorFernandezBigdestroyer]

Damage control should be been suspended and or forced to sell team. Women were terrorized for two decades in the work place.

[@adityamannur4140]

Domestic violence on the spot termination, goes on to hire J-Kidd

[@aaronjohnson529]

He has learned nothing, just blindly delegating the day-to-day of a sports franchise while he handles the fun stuff. The only difference is that he put a woman in charge this time. FYI: women can be assholes too... as John Oliver would say, #Feminism? Don't get me wrong, she sounds like she'll run the company right, or at least a hell of a lot better than the guy who got you into this mess, but you can't continue to claim to be the most hands-on owner in sports when you turn a blind eye to a critical part of your organization TWICE!

[@reisemoran8954]

Aaron Johnson that ain’t it chief lmao

[@siaoguai]

Concur. Watching this interview is very painful. I work in management at a NPO and the fact that Mark Cuban is not getting involved in the "plan" just because the new CEO is a colored woman is a huge warning sign that he might run into trouble again. This is very scary...

[@reisemoran8954]

Jack Chen he is being involved in the plan. The whole point of this interview was to introduce her and have her explain what the next move is. Mark Cuban is obviously going to continue to be involved because he’s a level-headed person. He’s not just going to throw money at someone for looks, her resume is killer. She also just happens to be African American and a woman. That’s literally all it is. He isn’t going to fuck off once she sits down and starts working, he’s going to make sure he’s getting a bang for his buck and that all of his employees are taken care of the right way.

[@Jetpackguyy]

why you deleted this video and then upload it again?!

[@davedurosier]

So why are the workers complaining about not seeing the owner?? Who even sees the owners of Walmart or amazon? People please.

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

KingDave Durosier, I can only speak for amazon having worked there, & I saw Bezos twice a week. For all it's problems amazon has, their issues have nothing to do with Mark's poor leadership with the Dallas Mavericks staff outside his players and coaching staff. Stop giving Mark excuses because he truly fucked up and is trying to spin this controversy of a shit show in his favor.

[@davedurosier]

I have been working for walmart for over 8 years. I have never seen anyone but the managers at the store and the district manager that stops by here and there because that is part of his duty. I guess every company owner operates differently and chose to be involved differently as well. What I'm saying is: in most iconic companies, you will not see their owners ever if you are just a regular employee. Not giving him excuses, its just facts. I also worked at Macys and same applies.

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

@@davedurosierYes, you are making excuses for Mark. He's claims to be highly intelligent & always aware of everything going on with his businesses, especially with the Mavs, yet for 20 years, suddenly he's developed amnesia? For 20 years he wasn't aware of how horribly toxic and corrosive the workplace environment was within his own organization? Not 20 seconds, 20 minutes, 20 hours, or 20 months, but 20 long years the workplace conditions with his staff were highly dysfunctional and hostile, and somehow someway he was unaware. This is the same successful entrepreneur who've stated numerous times, to paraphrase, that no one should know more about your company than you. Not only that, he's a business mentor to countless entrepreneurs. I will not suspend reality to accept his poor excuse of being completely unaware of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct within his main business as owner of the Mavs. Either he's inept, or a liar. I choose that latter. He's not the first powerful man to use the "I don't know/didn't know/wasnt aware/not to my knowledge defense", & he will not be the last. Paying $10 millions dollars to women's organizations and hiring overly qualified and competent Cynthia Marshall isn't going to undue the damage done to his credibility and reputation.

[@davedurosier]

Just by reading your first sentence, I can already see that you are off topic. I am not talking about any personal issues pertaining to him as that is a whole other discussion. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE WORKERS THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT SEEING HIM LADY. They should not expect to see the man if they are not any executives because they do not deal with him. How many people see the owner of iconic companies like Macy's or Walmart??? I said what I said and my statement still stands.

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

@@davedurosier Lastly, don't try to turn this topic into me, child, because I'm not the one. I stand by my posts and statements. You're loud, whiny, and wrong. This topic is beyond your skill set, experience, and basic common sense. Not only was your flimsy point about owners of major corporations not being seen was debunked, it also flies in the face of the assumption of Mark's so called limited presence. Based on his own statement, he's very hands on with the Mavs organization. Don't play simple minded word games with me, child. I'm not in the mood.

[@empirebbk]

Cuban will sell the team within the next decade...foolish pride

[@mdfarukhossainabu8283]

Good

[@dougc8039]

Omg, Cuban for once havent said more than 10 words, when have this ever happen during his interview? The Dallas Mavericks is worth tens of millions of dollar - How is he not watching over it like a hawk?

[@errolflynn610]

hes got a lot of companies worth tens of millions of dollars i think he treats the Mavs more like a hobby..

[@rico7673]

he's the owner so he's not really at the office

[@SorinVBogdan]

Millions??? The Mavs are worth BILLIONS dude :D of course he doesn't wanna lose them

[@krisnyc9134]

He figured hey I'll just hire a black woman and everyone will be like, ok he's doing the right thing.

[@raymundorendonjr3415]

The way u answer the question raises eyebrows..u say things just the way u always do cuban.."u gotta be involved u gotta be close man u contradict yoself bye how u answer man cuban i feel sum type of way toward u now DAMN IT CUBAN I HAD ALOT OF RESPECT FOR U.thii raises eyebrows tho

[@MikeM-np4od]

Damn Cuban went full damage control mode. Go on TV and try to cry....check. Go on a female hosted show...check. Bring in a black woman to clean up his mess...check and mate. Dude can make money and is a great figure head, but he is a terrible leader. He lucky Dirk was so loyal or his franchise would have been shit for the past 20 years cause he can't get a top free-agent for shit.

[@ricoremar8792]

Great job mark be busyyyy as hell though butttt you could check up with tge people you put in charge

[@samt8017]

Cuban. Great business man...obviously a poor leader

[@sudeepgautam8692]

what really happened?

[@Slenderirl]

Not knowing might win you the public eye, but if I was any of the women hurt by this I would sue, sue, sue. Funny aint it? this dude talked all this crap about Trump being a sexual harasser, and look at him now! LOL

[@DeShawnMcDonald]

Big difference between actually assaulting women sexually and promoting sexual offenders then being such a shit owner who just let's his business run itself. He's for sure not in the right for his actions or inactions but he isn't anywhere comparable to someone who has actually sexual assaulted women

[@ericcc70]

How’s it funny? He didn’t sexually harass anyone. Wouldn’t the women sue the dude that actually sexually harassed them?

[@DeShawnMcDonald]

@@ericcc70 if this was flipped and Mark Cuban was a Trump tard then thats exactly what he would be arguing.

[@Slenderirl]

YES cuz, beating women is SO much worse than sexually harassing them LOL Cuban knew about the assault and the HR said to fire him and he did NOTHING just saying it is quite Ironic lol if you just say trump some people become a robot i guess

[@elonwiggins994]

Nice?

[@marcoortiz8046]

He knew. Commissioner Silver should suspended him an entire season. Anything less and he ain't gonna learn a damn thing. Does anybody know if his former employees that went through this bullshit are suing Cuban? One last thing, leaving your car lights on and letting you battery die is a mistake. Not making sure you staff isn't being sexually harassed and assaulted , is a choice. Cuban chose not to make that a goal much less a priority. Calling those kinds of choices, mistakes goes to show, these guys like Art Briles, Urban Meyer, Jamison Winston, etc aren't woke. Good luck Cynthia.

[@jamdaz22]

Man he looks emasculated...👀

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

jamdaz, he has a guilty conscious, not emasculation. He is in full damage control mode while trying to appear remorseful and productive about "changing the culture" of his organization he's enabled for 20 years. His years of media training and bad acting can't hide deception. Also, he's old, and rarely do most men over 60+ change their ways.
