A top Texas official on Wednesday said he would push for state legislators to pass a bill that would require events receiving public funding to play the national anthem.


Typical myopic move by a Repube. Ending taxpayer underwriting of privately held sports ventures is the answer.

That's a part of national unity - having a single national anthem that is a small part of what connects us all.

Having a national anthem for people of different colors divides us further.

Proof Exhibit #2,402,502 that liberals want to divide America.

The robots are those who have been programmed to think it is perfectly normal that taxpayer money should be used to subsidize billionaires like Mark Cuban.

The Federal government forcing anyone to say a pledge or play the anthem seems to be a case of the pendulum swinging way too far in the opposite direction.

A) There were virtually no fans when the Anthem was stopped, so who exactly were they playing it for? Their top players are all foreigners.
B) The already started playing it again under a new NBA rule.
C) Like the flag pin our Congressmen wear it has become a false flag of patriotism. Not every game is an Olympic event. The national anthem is not played before a lot of other sporting events like tennis, track and field, soccer, etc. Mostly baseball, football, and basketball.

Good for them. I myself frankly have no desire to unite with these degenerates.

The only way to “unite” with totalitarians is total subservience to their ideology. The biggest con in American History has been the lie that this nation was founded as a compact “indivisible” unto death.

Too. Much. Legislation.
Respect the anthem, whether you choose to sing it or not.
A law is not needed.

.just stop giving the NBA any fricking money....problem solved.

THIS x10000

More government isn't the solution. If they're going to pass a bill, then pass one that prohibits state, county, and local governments from using tax dollars to build stadiums.

Statutorily-mandated patriotism! Hooray!

This isn't authoritarian, not at all.
