Cuban Says NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL Should Stage "Supergames"

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Monday that the NBA is "making a huge mistake" by allowing its top players to participate in the Olympic Games without compensation. Writing on his blog, Cuban said, "Where else can you get to use another company's products for free? Maybe CBS will lend Katie Couric to NBC every couple years." Cuban points out that the contract for a single summer and winter Olympics costs more than the entire TV deal with the NBA for an entire season. "If we were really, really smart," he writes, the NBA would work with all the other U.S. professional sports organizations to stage the "SuperGames" every four years.

Why would we want to watch the U.S. lose in some sort of BCSish Goodwill Games-ish farce?

I think Cuban loves to talk to hear his own voice. Kind of like the Steinbrenner of basketball, but not evil.
