Not a surprising viewpoint, considering that Cuban's opinions aren't always the most popular either. I mean, he distributed Loose Change - a "documentary" about how the US government CAUSED 9/11. And although he says that movie didn't reflect his own personal beliefs, simply being associated with something like that could be construed as a reason to take his team away... Where do you draw the line once a precedence has been set?

So that's Cuban's pitch to the top-flight free agents who might consider signing with Dallas? Good luck.
I'd be leery of and absolutely opposed to any governmental entity coming in to try to force Sterling out.
I'd be leery of and absolutely contemptuous of any private business association that didn't.
