I am by no means an extremist, but I totally understand not wanting to support a team that decides to remove the national anthem.


Yep, this is America still, at least for a bit longer.

do with our national anthem being played before every sports competition



Because our professional sports leagues take place in the best country in the world which allows these athletes to make millions of dollars and travel the world playing a child’s game. Fandoms are regionally based in many great cities around this country and include all income levels, races, genders, and everything in between who root for these teams.

But frick all that, right

Have been watching the team since I was a little kid. I’m out totally now on Cuban and the Mavs.

Yeah I’ve never really understood why the national anthem is played when it’s one domestic team vs another
Because it's a time of remembrance. Not a dick measuring contest between countries.

Not sure how you got all of that out of my post but ok

Sorry, I just can’t pretend to care whether an nba team plays the anthem or not. You do you though

It’s not just the anthem. Cuban hired a CEO named Cynt Marshall after a bunch of his employees including the former CEO were sexually harassing female employees. She is a UC Berkley glad so you can see what we are dealing with. Last year she got rid “the hottest dance team in the NBA” as they were called, the Mavs dancers.

I used to be a season ticket holder but quit about 7 years ago. I had been ignoring their calls but I actually can’t wait for them to call me again. I’m going off.

Have some respect for our country

I wake up every morning at 5AM and say the pledge of allegiance

I also sing the national anthem before I watch any sporting event on TV

A billionaire, who started out with nothing, deciding what to do with his private business is about as American as it fricking gets. I know that won’t stop some of you from screaming about leftists or muh anthem though

I had been buying a 10 game Mavs package for the last four years.

After the China debacle last year I called the team and asked for a refund and was granted one.

Since then it’s been only tv aside from the night the Wuhan shite hit the fan and I was at their game against the Nuggets solely because I had an invite to a suite.

More teams need to do that. Completely pointless and a waste of time.

Cuban is free to do what he wants, as am I and others that stop watching/attending games. That’s the beauty of the country.

Hardly anyone at the arena pays attention to the anthem when it's being played anyway. They're all getting nachos, beers, finding their seats, and taking pictures to post to Instagram.
