are no longer playing the national anthem at home games.

Cuban and the Mavericks didn’t publicize the removal of the national anthem prior to games, but The Athletic reached out to the team after realizing that it wasn’t played before Monday’s matchup. A number of team employees only noticed the removal of the anthem on their own, according to The Athletic. They also said that it was not announced or explained internally.

The Mavericks, who have an 11-14 record, have played 12 games at their home arena this season. They haven’t played the national anthem in any of their 13 preseason games as well

The Athletic reported that Cuban declined a request for further comment or explanation Monday evening. The Mavericks organization also declined comment Tuesday, per the website.

Fook the NBA and the Dallas Mavericks

I really hope this backfires on him but nobody will be able to know because only a handful of fans are allowed into the stadium

At this point...good. I hope the other 29 teams do it and every other sports league follows suit

Once idiots like Kaep & Co hijacked the anthem for their own virtue signaling and photo ops it should’ve been stopped right then and there.

it's time for the 'National Basketball Association' to get 'National' out of their name and officially become the
Global Basketball Association.


After all, what 'Nation' are they representing anymore?

This will only speed up the NBA's demise.

They play the Canadian anthem before Canadian opponents if i recall correctly, but do they stop playing that anthem too?

For the “why do we even play the anthem at games” group, we aren’t the only country to do this - Canada does it too.

Dallas Texas ought to be ashamed of their roots letting this soy POS get away with this.

Any guesses on which team will be the first to play the Chinese National Anthem and when?

Mark, I’ve never felt the need to virtue signal about a song at my workplace.

For a country that gave this prick so much, he’s giving the country so little in return.

Dallas, Texas is a completely different city now than when I moved here after Katrina. To say it has gone completely left is an understatement. It is sad to watch. People here have completely lost their minds.
