You know how I know the Dallas Mavericks deciding not to play the national anthem before games isn’t actually a big deal? Because no one noticed until just now.
The team hasn’t played it before any games thus far this season and Mark Cuban confirmed they do not plan to resume doing so, which I think is a good decision. At this point, when I hope we can be entering less divisive times, I don’t believe anything productive comes from arguing about what others choose to do during the anthem.
If you want to stand with pride and your hand on your heart.
