Bloomberg News Dallas bureau chief Julie Fine joins to discuss the city's outpouring of anger and how it's serving as an early test for the family of casino billionaire Miriam Adelson, which bought control of the Mavericks from Mark Cuban in 2023. Bloomberg News reporter Jennah Haque joins to discuss her story, co-written with Vanesa Perdomo, on the WNBA and women's sports has grown - and how players are hoping the uptick in interest and revenue for leagues and teams can finally start to translate to bigger pay days for athletes.
