On Sunday evening, a radio host in Dallas took note of the upcoming NBA Dallas Mavericks’ season, asserting that if any players knelt during the national anthem, he would stop watching the team. That prompted Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who has often flirted publicly with the idea of running for president, to snipe about the “national anthem police,” asking why the national anthem is not played before everyone’s day at work.
“I am so ready to be be in on this year’s [Mavericks] home stretch: so much promise, so much personality,” radio host Mark Davis tweeted. “But the minute one player kneels during the anthem, I am OUT. Surely [Mark Cuban] can lead the way for [Mavs], to do whatever gesture they wish without insulting the nation.”
