Mark Cuban Battles Ted Cruz on Twitter
Cuban Criticizes Cruz
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban took a stand on twitter regarding players and professional athletes standing or kneeling during the national anthem.
Cuban tweeted, "The National Anthem Police in this country are out of control. If you want to complain, complain to your boss and ask why they don't play the National Anthem every day before you start work.”
Cuban’s social media post caught the attention of Texas Senator Ted Cruz who responded "Really??!?NBA is telling everyone who stands for the flag, who honors our cops and our veterans, to “piss off”? In Texas, no less. Good luck with that.”
