So some Texans are mad at Mark Cuban for not playing the national anthem at Mavericks games

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

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 doesn’t need the opinion of a few rednecks.... not to mention rednecks don’t even follow basketball.

We’ve 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 I’m concerned. They can even keep the name and colors, since any Seattle team will automatically be renamed the Sonics.

I’d 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 it’s even played at regular sporting events. The Olympics I can understand but basketballfootballbaseball what have you- it’s completely unnecessary. I’m glad Mr Cubans team hasn’t played it.

In other states. Why do republicans think they should get to tell everyone what to do. They’re the stupidest people on planet earth.

they can be as mad as they want to be.


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.

Full speed ahead, Mark Cuban. You're definitely pissing off the right people.
