Mark Cuban cancels national anthem

[Ricter]

Just another way of burying dissent. "You can have your protest, of course of course. But only over there, down the street around the block and behind the fence."

I assume he's trying to be "inclusive" since the anthem doesn't represent all people
supposedly.


In other news... remember what cuban said about 6 years ago..

“I mean, we’re all prejudiced in one way or another,” he said. “If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it’s late at night, I’m walking to the other side of the street. And if on that side of the street there’s a guy that has tattoos all over his face — white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere — I’m walking back to the other side of the street. And the list goes on of stereotypes we all live up to and are fearful of.”

That quote is 100% correct and accurate. Anyone who pretends otherwise isn't being honest.

Should you be allowed to protest in your employers workplace while on the job upsetting all the customers that pay the bills? I think not.

Best way to eliminate the protests is to take away the protestor's prop.

Your reply would have been better if you'd said, "I should think not." Give it that little bit of British uptightery.

Should represent all citizens, shouldn't it?

Any if you're a non-citizen and you take offense (and even you are a citizen who takes offense), you could LEAVE THE COUNTRY! Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to stay.

This is Cubans cowardly way to prevent players from kneeling but most of the negative reactions I've seen so far is from the right.Not playing the anthem is not good enough for them.They want owners to play the anthem and make the black players stand for it.

He took thte pussy way out when there are no fans in the stands and TV coverage has not shown any national anthems anyway because the stadiums are mostly empty. Cuban took a non issue and made it about him.

Sure. This is Cuban's way of protesting the uppity "blacks", and lately "whites". But his virtue signaling also, perhaps mainly, plays to the financial future of the NFL, the Dunkin' Donuts crowd. For many years now the Starbucks crowd has been steadily losing interest in traditional pro sports. Waste of money marketing to them, unless you're willing to change the sport's rules and play the game on a snowboard hill.

To be fair, the ruling class--which is neither left nor right-- is and will be coming down hard on any dissent that actually takes "to the street", threatening Business or its agents, whether Occupy, Antifa, BLM, Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, Qnation, etc. Richistan doesn't care what government is presently installed, so long as that continues to function, i.e. legislation via lobbyists, to preserve their power, privilege, and leisure.

In Europe they only play national anthems between 2 different nations' teams. Makes sense.

I shouldn't have said this, gwb, I apologize. Acid pen meets covid confinement.
