Cuban and the Cubs

In todays sports world someone has to own the teams. Steinbrenner, Jones, Cuban, just a view names who are known in baseball, football and basketball respectively, not only for their teams success year in and year out, but also for the way they treat their teams. I came across this article however, and was appalled at the fact that the Major League Baseball Association won't let Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, buy the Chicago Cubs.  I think that if Cuban was allowed to buy the Cubs that he would bring more of an up-to-date persona to the franchise, just like he did with the Mavericks. Give the man a chance!! The marketing side of this would great. Even though the Cubs sell out every game, Cuban might be able to bring in more players to the team with big names, which would lead to a boost in merchandise. I don't see what the big deal is in letting him buy the team.
