Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban drew the ire of Texas Republicans earlier this year, when he briefly took the national anthem out of the team’s pregame rituals.
“openly and aggressively unconstitutional,” argued the national anthem will be less meaningful if it’s mandatory, and pointed out that most pro sports teams — including the Mavericks — already play the song voluntarily.“The stadiums, subsidized by the taxpayers, which host the Mavericks should either condemn [Cuban’s] anti-American decisions and override him; or, return all tax subsidies they have received,” Rep.
last month. “SB4 would change our anthem from something that is played and sung voluntarily at professional sporting events to something that is done because it is mandated by law.”
