Mark Cuban is “OPENLY” against NBA players playing in the Olympics. He thinks the players should be paid to participate in the games and that Corporate America is using them.

According to espn.com Mark Cuban states:

“I think it’s the biggest mistake the NBA makes,” Cuban said of allowing NBA stars to compete in international competition. “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. So if you come up with something that you own that you can give to me for free so I can make billions of dollars, I want it.

“And it has nothing to do with patriotism and it’s all about money. You don’t see the (International) Olympic Committee in Switzerland saying, ‘Oh, we made so much money, let’s give it to people.’ How many jets do they have?”
