    Method to His Madness

    Mark Cuban wins again with wretched uniform contest

    Claire St. Amant

    I really have to hand it to Mark Cuban. The guy knows how to get people — and the media — to jump through hoops. When the outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks announced he was crowd sourcing the next iteration of the team's uniforms, the Internet exploded with equal parts outrage and interest.

     

    A day after posting the offer, which came with no money and only a passing mention of theoretical tickets, Cuban had received more than 250 responses. Some of them even included uniform designs. Quite the coup.

     

    Far be it from me to question the methods of a self-made billionaire. Cuban clearly has a method to his madness. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

     

     

    ​ Cuban clearly has a method to his madness. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

     
     

    As an avid sports fan, it rubs me the wrong way that the wealthy owner of a successful team would care as little about the Dallas Mavericks image as Cuban apparently does.

     

    He's not just asking for free ideas. He's also going to own all of them the second you post the image on his blog. All the dutiful artists get in return are bragging rights. On his blog, Cuban fired back at critics of his so-called "contest."

     

    "We all take our own risks in our own way, and we live with the consequences," Cuban wrote. "If I don’t get a design I like, you can laugh at me."

     

    Although we'd all certainly enjoy that experience, it's not ideal. I don't want to see Cuban fail. I just want to see him invest in the image of the Dallas Mavericks like he invests in plenty of ideas he's less passionate about.

     

    Cuban knows better than anyone that money talks. Why else would he star on ABC's Shark Tank and write checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars each week?

     

    Cuban clearly believes that smart, talented people don't give away their talents for free. It's the entire basis of Shark Tank, a show for which he's taken heat for prioritizing over the Mavs. And yet he's not willing, or just not interested, in having that same level of "skin in the game" with his beloved Mavericks.

     

    After all, Cuban has broken out his checkbook to finance surf boards, cat drawings, sippy cups, peanut butter and teddy bear pillow cases. The fact that he won't do the same for the Dallas Mavericks is bizarre.

    Soccer Championship

    Register now for tickets for 2026 FIFA World Cup games in Arlington

    The application period for the first ticket draw for the FIFA World Cup 26 is set to open on September 10, but football/soccer fans can register now to get their hands on tickets to matches at AT&T Stadium in Arlington and elsewhere.

    Running June 11-July 29, the 2026 World Cup will feature games in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, marking the first time the international tournament has been played in more than one country since 2002 in South Korea and Japan.

    This is also only the second time the U.S. has hosted the tournament; they hosted it solo in 1994. Mexico has hosted twice before, in 1970 and 1986, while Canada is hosting for the first time ever.

    Most of the games will be played in the U.S., as it features 11 of the 16 match sites, including Arlington and Houston.

    As participants in the tournament — which will number 48 for the first time, going up from 32 — are still being determined, individual game matchups have yet to be set.

    AT&T Stadium is scheduled to host nine games over the course of the tournament, the most of any venue. That includes five group stage matches, two in the Round of 32, one in the Round of 16, and one of the two semi-final matches.

    Fans can go to FIFA.com/tickets to register their interest and create a FIFA ID, the first phase in a multi-part process to get tickets. On September 10, those who are registered can use their IDs to apply for their first chance to buy tickets.

    Although the price of single-game tickets is not yet known, hospitality packages offering premium seats, food & drink, and more amenities can be purchased now, starting at $1,350 per person.

    The Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 26 is set to take place in December, with teams assigned to specific match schedule fixtures, including venues and kick-off times, shortly thereafter.

    There will be several distinct ticket sales phases all the way to the final match, and each phase may differ in purchasing processes, payment methods, and ticket products; full details on each phase will be released in the coming months.
