Because they love America...But at the same time, they are the same type of people who yell "Texit" and "Texas should secede"

(190 posts)Plenty of us blue fish here in red counties of dfw who are more than pleased that song is being cancelled for now. Mark Cuban, unlike tRump, IS a businessman - and he sees how tasteless it looks to outsiders. He doesnt need the opinion of a few rednecks.... not to mention rednecks dont even follow basketball.

Weve got a brand-new arena opening this fall, are desperate for an NBA return, and would have no problems with his new policy! Give an expansion team to some right-wing Dallas billionaire, and they can play the National Anthem all game long, as far as Im concerned. They can even keep the name and colors, since any Seattle team will automatically be renamed the Sonics.

(2,832 posts)Id like to know just wth the national anthem has to do with a freaking ball game? It has always bugged the heck out of me that its even played at regular sporting events. The Olympics I can understand but basketballfootballbaseball what have you- its completely unnecessary. Im glad Mr Cubans team hasnt played it.

I frankly get tired of the bogus issues, but if they have energy to be mad about this issues, which affects their lives not even in the slightest way... so be it.
