Mark Cuban's dunk on Ted Cruz shows why the Right is losing the Cancel Culture Wars
In the absence of NBA action, Mark Cuban found a new sport — dunking on Sen. Ted Cruz. The recent viral Twitter exchange between Cruz and Cuban was more than just another public take down of America’s most sanctimonious senator, it was a colorful illustration of why conservatives are losing the cancel culture wars.
Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks can be described as a maverick himself when it comes to being outspoken. He will pay the fine to speak his mind, on or off the court. So when Twitter conservatives took a break from complaining about cancel culture to call for a boycott of Cuban’s companies he provided a link to the full list.
Cruz, ever seeking new opportunities for self-ownership, voluntarily stepped onto Cuban’s court. But instead of challenging Cuban one on one he pulled the Twitter version of an intentional foul — he shared a screenshot of Cuban’s tweet to call him out without tagging Cuban. In social media this is a sleight to deny a notification or traffic back to the original author.
Cruz used Cuban’s tweet to show his approval of a conservative boycott of the NBA over player protests. Cuban shot back “Have some balls for once @tedcruz. Speak to me. It’s my tweet.” After some virtue signaling from Cruz about China, Cuban tweeted:
“I can say Black Lives Matter. I can say there is systemic racism in this country. I can say there is a Pandemic that you have done little to end…” He followed by questioning why Ted Cruz takes, “such pride in standing up to and speaking truth to the Chinese, but you have no ability to stand up to and speak the truth to @realdonaldtrump ?”
