I sincerely doubt he mean't that she isn't welcome her own opinion.

Yep, DHWS nailed exactly what I meant... I don't want to see EL leave, but if this scandal is one step too far for her, then I guess she's as good as gone. If she feels that strongly about it, then nothing I say is going to sway her.
Me? I think the Mavs are bigger than Cuban, and this scandal isn't going to make me stop rooting for my team... If it was Dirk or Dennis or any other player, then I'd feel differently about it -- but it's a guy who I barely ever see when I turn on the game, and one who I rarely think about except for when he opens his big mouth. It definitely affects how I feel about the organization as a whole, but when I see the Dallas Mavericks logo, I think "Dirk" not "scandal."
One day Mark Cuban is going to sell the team and everyone is eventually going to forget about him... And if you don't think that's going to happen, take a look at Don Carter's thread and the measly 6 posts in it. If none of you care enough about that guy to acknowledge his death, then what makes you think the next few generations are going to give a shit about Mark Cuban years from now? Nobody is going to remember his outspokenness, or this scandal, or that mediocre TV show he's on... But they will remember Dirk when they look up into those rafters and see his jersey. They''ll remember Dirk when they see his name all over the NBA record books. They'll remember Dirk when people talk about the advent of stretch-fours and one-legged fadeaways. They'll remember Dirk when fans talk about the greatest player in Dallas Mavericks history.
They'll remember Dirk... Cuban? Not so much.
