Cuban’s decision to scrap the anthem has drawn criticism.
“I won’t spend another cent on a Marine veteran, went on to suggest that those fans allowed at Mavs’ home games amid the coronavirus pandemic take it upon themselves to sing the anthem in protest. “Get woke, go broke!” tweeted Anthony White, the vice president of the Fort Worth Police Officers’ Association union, prior to the reversal. The forced U-turn, however, didn’t stop critics from lighting into Cuban and the Mavs on social media. The NBA, however, swatted the move down like an All-Defensive Team center on Wednesday, reminding teams that the anthem must be played prior to all games in a league-wide memo, which Cuban quickly caved to ahead of the team’s evening home tilt against the Atlanta Hawks.

Outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban ignited a firestorm of fury for canceling the national anthem at home games - while earning praise from some athletes and the Biden administration.
