Mark Cuban Fined $30,000 In E-sports For F-Bombs: 'League Of Legends' Was In San Jose!
Owner of NBA's Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban has been fined a total of $30,000 for dropping the f-word twice, on Saturday, according to The Washington Post.
At the "League of Legends'" show's pregame interview, Cuban was indulging in trash talk when he let the f-bomb out at the charity video game competition in San Jose.
He was hit with a $15,000 fine at the "Intel Extreme Masters San Jose," revealed The Big Lead.
"So if I say it again, I have to pay another $15,000?" asked Mark. "F--k it," he replied and the audience cheered, as seen in a YouTube clip.
Cuban knew the money was going to charity; the fine jumped to $30,000.
The recipient is the CyberSmile Foundation, an organization that is working towards eradicating cyberbullying.
As for the "League of Legends" competition, Cuban had just one kill and nine deaths, while his team members, Meteos, Reginald, Doublelift and Voyboy managed to beat Intel's CEO Brian Krzanich and his team.
Krzanich's team members were Chauster, HotshotGG, Bjergsen and Hai.
Cuban may arguably be the most interesting franchise owner to date, according to Bleacher Report.
