"The Mavericks did not announce the change in policy, but the national anthem has not been played before any of their 13 preseason and regular-season games at the American Airlines Center this season."

Yet it's just now making headlines? lol

Seems fine to me, but I imagine the red hats will get their panties in a bunch nonetheless.

Oh they are, and of course they're getting all upset about it now even though it's not a new change and has been this way all season

Nice sig

thank god, bout time

About time. It should only be played for team USA. There are players from all around the world that make up the league, unless you play all their national anthems, none should be played.

Or create an NBA anthem, like they have in the Champions League.

Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks will resume playing the Anthem tonight vs. Atlanta. Statement from Cuban, in part: “The hope is that those who feel passionate about the anthem being played will be just as passionate in listening to those who do not feel it represents them.”

Tldr; the check cleared
