NEWS: Melinda Gates has joined Seattle’s One Roof Sports & Entertainment as a minority investor, further solidifying Samantha Holloway’s ownership group and quest for bringing the Sonics back.
Patrick Dumont bought the Dallas Mavericks in 2023 and proceeded to alienate fans by trading away Luka Dončić.
Now, as CEO of casino giant Las Vegas Sands, he wants to turn Dallas into the next Vegas.
But to do that, he needs to win back Texans' trust.
@AvatarRandall and I profiled Dumont as he takes on Mark Cuban, Texas Baptists, and the ghost of Luka Dončić (gift link):

Ladies and gents, what began as an annual @AroundtheHorn spring staple made its @SportsCenter debut last night.

Hi quick PSA- pls stop saying the “credibility of all women” is in jeopardy cause **insert** the story of one woman who may or may not have done whatever headline is out there. If you’re dense enough to equivocate the actions of one to all, you’re probably a sexist who was looking to dismiss a woman’s career trajectory anyway. This is not new and we’ve ALL had ppl at some point in our career reduce us to a DEI hire, a hot girl hire, or a sleeping around hire. OLD TRICKS! Don’t fall for it.
