The Mavericks are ditching the National Anthem before games. Who’s next?

Cuban should claim he has a sincerely held religious belief that it’s sacrilegious to play a song before a game. Watch the flailing by the GOP.

 

Or before pro wrestling matches.

 

Also bubble hockey games.

 

Ah, Shotglass

 

Most people do like it, and accept the appropriateness of protesting during it. It’s just fashionable for about 13% of the country, at the moment, to say they don’t it should be played at all, and a lot of those people fancy themselves more citizens of the world, who can pick and choose political and cultural ideas as they please, rather than acting as people who live in a place and a time.

Some of them are very rich. They’ll be able to afford to live wherever they please whenever this nation turns in on itself with self hatred, as it is at the moment. Mark Cuban included.

So those who oppose the anthem aren’t real Americans?

 

America The Beautiful should be the national anthem.

 

Only when the recorded version by Ray Charles is played.

 

Are you under the impression that the national anthem protest is related to the words in the song?

Any "national anthem" is going to be protested for the sake of the protest.
