Dallas Mavericks will no longer play national anthem before games

[staticshock]

What’s wrong with playing the national anthem before the game? Dallas don’t even have that many black players.

Why the fukk do we need to?

that shyt should only be played at political or military functions, and I’m saying this as a Marine vet

Cuban surprised me here. The blow back in a city like Dallas will be fierce.

Didn't think he wanted smoke like that but



And lets keep it a buck.. All the anger will go towards the black players in the league

*insert baseless claims that the Mavericks don’t sign trade or draft black players brehs*

What's the purpose of it? Why not play the national anthem before a movie? Why not play the national anthem before a stage show? Should they play the national anthem before a concert?

Looking forward to hear Dale Hansen's take on this

Biggest thing here is they never publicized it and people are just now noticing. Speaks volumes to how much it never mattered being played in the first place

Well to be fair nobody can attend games right now plus they don't always televise the national anthem during a tv broadcast. People would definitely notice if Covid wasn't around and fans were allowed in arenas like old times

Kristine Leahy

Think Sasha Vujacic from that old Lakers squad back in '08 - '10 has been eating off of her for a minute

I think Sasha stole her from the breh and has now left her high and dry, GOAT Franchise shyt

Well people aren't at the game right now and they never really televise it, so not like people can even notice

The reporters themselves didn't notice right away, despite them having done this since pre-season. Patriotism was merely an excuse to obscure what dudes like Kaep were fighting for. The anthem was nothing but a bathroom break for the same people up in arms about players kneeling over police brutality and systemic racism.

Kaep kneeling wasn't even noticed when he first started doing it

Mark Cuban about to have them Texas cac's furious

He doing this specially because luka they only hope post dirk and they in a corner lmao they can only be so mad when they got a cac savior for the franchise

 

[PortCityProphet]

I dont know what's greater the turn Cuban trying to make into being a pseudo activist or the turn he make when he see a black kid in a hoodie walking down the street

 

[Ziggiy]

Wonder if Cuban will stop crossing the street when he sees black men walking behind him
