Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban declared that the "National Anthem Police in this country are out of control," leading to a tense exchange on Twitter with Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican who represents Texas.
Cuban initially tweeted "Bye" on Sunday evening in response to a tweet from Mark Davis in which the Dallas-based conservative talk show host expressed enthusiasm about the Mavs but added he would no longer be a fan "the minute one player kneels for the anthem," suggesting Cuban could help guide the Mavs and NBA "to do whatever gesture they wish without insulting the nation."

Tell ya what, Marc. Why don’t you take all of the web sites of all of your money making brands you control and post a statement on each home page stating that.
Exactly. It's a useless sport and who wants to smell their players. I think everyone knows what I mean.
Mark Cuban doesn’t care what fans think. All he cares about are corporate sponsors and the players on his plantation. Pro sports is just mirroring corporate “America” here. Corporations have been by and large leftist for decades.
We need to start actively boycotting leftists and their enablers. That includes companies that hire leftists. Either this is serious or it isn’t. Either we fight or comply. There is no middle ground anymore.
I never liked basketball, never watched it.
Now, I wish I could unlike it even more.
Cuban would be severely wrong to think the current NBA and its players (heck, any professional sports nowadays it seemed) statements and action will attract, let alone maintain, their fan base.
My prediction is that all sports will blame covid-19 as major excuse for their failure.
Traitors are out of control.
That episode was so funny!
This Cuban character comes across as a real as*hole who thinks because he’s wealthy he can shoot his mouth off and everyone’s going to genuflect. Fuk that POS!
Hey Cuban, get out the USA and go find a country you like.
Best Solution: No National Anthem at sporting events. I’d be good with this.
Cuban got REALLY rich once with Broadcast.com.
He sold it at the right time for billions.
His other investments...big whop.
I saw Cuban on “Shark Tank” once invest in a seasonal rental “business” of live Christmas trees, in giant pots. How much money could Cuban possibly make on such a tiddly-winks “business”? And why would he need to?
Shark Tank was one of my favorite shows, but I don’t watch it anymore. Cuban is too much of arrogant pr*ck. Fellow panelist Robert once told Cuban off and basically said so, on the air.
Corporations have been by and large leftist for decades.

Corps can be destroyed if enough customers turn around and walk away!
Your post is my favorite post of this thread!
What a fake ass American he turned out to be..
NO. That’s caving in to the Left.
Mark, Mark, Mark....there ya go going full retard....again.
Never go full retard, Mark. It makes you and your ilk look like fools.
What’s out of control is the marxist overthrow of the whole country. Maybe you should go to Cuba and stay there till it’s over.
Cuban is not allowed to say anything bad about China. He can’t say anything good about Hong Kong protesters. He can’t say anything good about our police.
He is no longer a man. He is a business that cares only about profits. I don’t expect to watch sports when they come back. Why should I care about black millionaires who want to get richer at the expense of slave labor in China. Our sports heros live of the slave labor of the Chinese people, of the blood of American police, and off the cable bills of of most American households. I smell a boycott.
Pro sports teams think they are in for big ratings because of the forever lockdowns. They may be right. I hope they are wrong.
