Mark Cuban has canceled the National Anthem before Dallas Mavericks home basketball games. The NBA previously required all teams to play “The Star Spangled Banner” before each game, but now it is at the discretion of owners. And, Cuban sent the song to the chopping block.
The change happened a few weeks back, but went unnoticed.
The Mavericks began 13 home games without the National Anthem before Cuban was asked about it.

He has no white players that are American, so what team players care?
None. It’s blacks and Slavs...
Shows how interested people are in his team. he went 13 games and nobody noticed. Cuban is a real jerk. But I suspect all sports will be dumping the National Anthem soon.
Just killing off sports day by day
Cancel the NBA
this is news to me....
I guess Cuban decided he will never be President so time to suck up to the players.
I never could stand this POS; what a scumbag. I’m sure this will go over big here in Dallas, supporting the demonic BLM communist scum in yet another of his pathetic virtue signaling exercises. Say goodbye to what few fans you had left, you communist-supporting dumbass.
Yes some on the right continue to support and watch pro sports.
I honestly never understood the point of having the national anthem at sporting events other than military academies, national teams, etc.
I’ve been to plenty of sporting events over the years, and saw too many cases involving fans who were outwardly respectful and patriotic for the national anthem ... and then spent the next three hours making complete asses of themselves in public.
Did a casual look at Cuban’s wiki bio. His whole life is peppered with fraud, SEC trading violations, law suits, etc etc. His PR folks must work overtime...
Perhaps there’s a way to get back to the old America, even the America of only 20 years ago...but the hell if I can see it.
I posted on another thread about this story that I recall reading an interview with (of all people, lol) Harold Ballard from about 1980 and he said that by that time, he barely followed the national anthem edict. He said that he remembered the national anthem (God Save The King or The Maple Leaf Forever or O Canada) was really not played at Maple Leaf Gardens much until the World War II era when soldiers or those wounded in the war visited the Gardens and were given special recognition and tribute.
Typical.
Makes a fortune in America, and then pisses on our flag.
He should be in congress with other like minded jackasses....
Cuban produced the anti American, fiction movie ‘Redacted’ which portrayed U.S. soldiers as rapists and murderers and Americans as backing said soldiers actions.
He is vile.
