It's wonderful to be rich. I think we were all aware of that prior to Wednesday afternoon, but when Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban bought his way out of trouble and avoided any kind of suspension from the NBA despite the overwhelming evidence of his organization having been out of control for two decades, it hit home.
No suspension. Nothing. Not a game.
Cuban will pay $10 million to a variety of programs dealing with women in the workplace and domestic violence. It's a big check but one that any NBA owner can write without changing his plans for dinner.
