This is awesome. I hope other sports follow along. Anthems are unnecessary interruptions to sports fun.

Agreed, sports need a lot less patriotic correctness that has nothing to do with the actual athletic performance or contest.

NEWS: The @NBA says all team will be playing the anthem moving forward. Curious to see @mcuban's response.

The anthem pushback is already hitting the Mavs. They are quickly retreating and will start playing the anthem.

 

[KingArthursCourt]

So the league is enforcing mandatory patriotic correctness onto one of its teams and owners.

massive L by the NBA here

clown league.
disgusting that they would make it mandatory to play racist and transphobic anthems.

players need to use their voice and boycott until anthems are gone tbh

 

[dalewood12]

The national anthem at every sports event is completely unnecessary. Why not also perform the anthem before every movie, every play and every concert?

 

[John Price]

play racist and transphobic anthems.

what

oh yes I agree, bring back "all thy sons command"

Players: We don't like owner term. CHANGE IT!
Silver: Whatever you say
Players: We're concerned about social justice.
Silver: Whatever you say
Cuban: f*** the anthem
Silver: Oh no you didn't

If most actually knew the full history of the anthem they wouldn’t want a damn thing to do with it, let alone play it at their favorite events.

As a Canadian I had no idea. Thanks for piquing my interest.

‘The Star-Spangled Banner’s’ racist lyrics reflect its slave owner author, Francis Scott Key

Damn. I’ve now completely changed my opinion.

Another important end of game miss by Siakam

 

[HisIceness]

I'm actually shocked that Silver even stepped into that ring and told them no. Doesn't seem like something Silver would do.

as pointed out before he is usually a stooge for the players

telling them no is very rare
