Mavericks owner Mark Cuban: "I require my employees to be vaccinated" as Gov. Greg Abbott bans manda

mandates in Texas

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said in a podcast Wednesday that he requires all of his employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Driving the news: Cuban's comments come the same week Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Monday that prohibits COVID-19 vaccine mandates by any "entity," including employers.

What he's saying: “If you work for me, I require my employees to be vaccinated, unless there's a doctor's reason where they can't be. Like you — I don't want my kids to be at risk," Cuban said on an episode of the podcast "10 Questions with Kyle Brandt."

“It is your choice, it is absolutely positively up to you," Cuban added. "But there's consequences that come with that."

the private capitalist? Can the State force a private company to care less about it's employees? Texas seems to want to promote this.

They don’t have to get a shot, they don’t have to play ball for a living. It’s their choice
