Hm. Do you suppose the NBA has figured out that offending Americans is not good for their pocketbook? Still will not watch them or the NFL, but at least it looks like this is a step in the right (not left...pun intended) direction.

“...Americans is not good for their pocketbook?”

Rule of thumb, always follow the money trail.

It’s become a joke, they may as well play it on a kazoo.

Cuban is going to run for POTUS as a Democrat eventually. He’s shoring up his left flank for the primary with nonsense like this.

NBA probably did this so players could continue protesting. No anthem = no opportunity to trash the country.

No. The National Anthem was RACIST when Trump was in office, Now that we “have been United” by Joe Biden, it is patriotic.

Dallas Mavericks??? Isn’t that the team that loses nearly all their games and is owned by Commie Cuban ain’t it. I haven’t followed the NBA since Magic and Larry hung up their sneakers.

I watch Japanese and Korean baseball on the internet. Forget about American pro sports.

“in my 66 years, could I have imagined this day would come”

I am 63, I would say for my first 55 but in the last 8 not so surprised. Where will we be in 4 years will be interesting and beyond my active imagination. Its the reverse of 1453 the Renaissance is over the dark ages begin.

I did. The Vietnam era taught us this day was coming. I am just surprised it took this long.

When people held soldiers coming back from Vietnam in disdain I knew we could be divided.
