Just one more reason I want watch the scripted, fixed boring NBA!


Feb 10, 2021, 4:57 AM

I could make a long list but here is a new one.

“ Mark Cuban Confirms Mavericks Won't Play National Anthem Before Home Games “

You poor misguided soul. Mark's decision to stop playing the National Anthem has nothing to do with watching scripted fixed boring games. Every team has those issues.
Rather it has to do with the direction our country is heading with dealing with our worst enemy.
And no it's not Russia, but China. The NBA has been pandering to the Chinese for the past several years because of their insane love of the game.
In fact I no longer refer to the League as the NBA ,but rather the Chinese Basketball Association.
oh, and one last thing. Not that it matters to Mr.Cuba(n),but I will no longer watch Shark Tanks either.

Don’t watch the NBA......but I’m to the point where I don’t think they deserve to play and sing our National Anthem.

I know that the CCP is our biggest enemy. In fact that have bought so many politicians. Like Polesi, Schumer. It is so tragic that our Country is losing its identity. That’s why we must fight back.

Its the manner you intend to fight back as to how successful you are. Violence won't get it done. Policy and how you present it will certainly gain more support

five years. It's my least favorite organized sport (if you can call it organized) by a long shot. I rather watch the coots win a game in any sport.

MfO, I haven't watched the NBA since the Jordan years, however long ago that's been. And only then to watch the championship games.

Forget the NBA. totally irrelevant sport. I'd rather watch

One thing I've always wondered about is why is the National Anthem played before sporting events but not before say, a movie at a movie theater or at the office or construction site before work begins or at Disney World when the park opens each morning?

Additionally, instead of playing it while the players are on the sideline, why doesn't the NBA just play it before the players come out of the locker room similar to games at a Clemson football game?

I'm not critiquing one form or another but genuinely curious.

I said from the get-go that that was the NFL's solution.


Feb 10, 2021, 11:44 AM

They needed to play the national anthem while the players were still in the locker room, and fine the heck out of any player that came out and took a knee during the playing of the anthem. This seemed very cut-and-dry to me. If there are players that don't believe in this country or support it through standing during the playing of the anthem, then they shouldn't have to. Likewise, the NFL is under no obligation to provide a political platform for the players, to the detriment of their business.

The pro leagues including the NFL and NBA started having their players out during the anthem because the military paid them to do so. This money was for what was called “paid patriotism,” which included standing for the national anthem. I read where the military stopped paying for this back in 2016 so I guess the leagues just kept doing what they were already doing at that point.

“I want watch” ?!? “Scripted, fixed boring” ?!? How would you know that unless you had been watching?

Conservative who likes this idea. The players do not want to stand for the anthem. Don't make them.

As someone else said, we don't stand before EVERY event (movies, plays, concerts). It's not required for sports and certainly isn't something the players or teams believe in, so stop the charade.
