Mark Cuban: Bloggers are not allowed in my lockerroom

Maybe it was the item in The Big Lead that described Dirk Nowitzki's giant dong that set him off (kidding, that didn't happen ... yet) but Mr. Cuban will not be allowing anyone to BLOG! to the future at Mavericks games, no matter whom the writer works for.

Why have this odd policy? What purpose does it serve?

Discuss.

 

To keep people like cremora out of the locker room

 

But wait isn't Cuban the maverick BLOGGER or some shit? While BLOGGERS!!!! generally suck, Cuban comes off as a hypocritical tool here.

I guarantee if they were 38-44 he'd find enough room in the locker room and on press row for the BLOGGERS!!!!

 

I missed the explanation of Fozzie bear and blogs . . . .

Any help here?

EDIT: Never mind, I found it. I actually thought that maybe the Fozzie thing was something deeper (I like the Muppets; sue me, that was my generation). But it was just a masterwork from Double Down's fertile imagination.

 

How? Cuban isn't using his blog to try to get a press pass.

 

Care to take this one, DD?

 

Holy fucking shit, that's one of the funniest things anyone's ever posted here.

 

If you are there with a paper just to blog, there is no reason to have access to the locker room. A blog is supposed to capture the moment of the game. Like many posts on the subject have said, give access to those who need it.

Anyone who thinks otherwise should consider their own positions on Joe Blogger trying to get a credential.

 

Just a space issue.

 

stitch, i believe in giving access to those who need it, but i disagree that a blog is supposed to only capture the moment of the game. that's a narrow view. dan steinberg at the wash post proves on a regular basis how locker room access adds to the value of a blog.
