“...did not publicize the anthem’s removal...”

Well, you don’t want to talk about the things you are ashamed of do you?

Unfortunately that azzhole is from Pittsburgh, my beloved home town.

But he’s from Mt. Lebanon, a ultra-snooty, rich liberal township.

In Pittsburgh we call them jag-offs.

“In listening to the community”
Pretty sure I know which community he’s listening to.

I do think the national anthem should not be played at professional athletic events. Except for the major league stadiums, most sound systems are not very good to begin with, live versions are more often embarrassing to the singer than not, and the habit started while the country was united and at war in WW I. Since we are not at official war with any organized state at this time, and certainly not united, “Play Ball” or something similar is appropriate to start a game.

“the product of ongoing conversations with members of the community who felt the tradition “did not fully represent them.”

““We’re always talking to our community. That’s something [Mavericks CEO Cynthia Marshall] stands for and is very insistent upon and has become a core part of who we are at the Dallas Mavericks,” Cuban told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols on Wednesday.”

““In listening to the community, there were quite a few people who voiced their concerns, really their fears that the national anthem did not fully represent them, that their voices were not being heard. So we’ve had a lot of conversations about whether or not we should play the anthem. “

The story never seems to identify this mysterious “community.” Very odd.

“He further claimed that he and his management “always understood” that they would eventually start playing the anthem again.”

...sorta like temporary tolls and taxes?

Did Cuban get anything out of this stand? A BLM free agent agreeing to sign with the Mavericks? A show of support from the usual suspects at ESPN? Or was it just a ‘premature” stand that will make it easier for the next team to do the same thing...then another, and eventually all of them?

Two things, first:

“The flag is not a religious symbol: it is a symbol of the country. If you don’t understand that distinction and why it is important, then you are a fool.”

He doesn’t go far enough. the flag represents the people with the courage and desire to make the greatest country ever in existence. And it waves above the graves of those that defended it and gave this country a chance to exist.

Cuban, the narcissist, should put himself on suicide watch.

He has lost all friends and gained innumerable enemies.

Take all weapons away.

Cuban has been on my ban list for years. Never understood why so many like him.
