Mark Cuban Defends Disrespect

Mark Cuban Defends Disrespect

  13 Feb 2021   , ,

 “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,” tweets Mark Cuban to defend denying NBA Mavericks fans passion of listening to the anthem of the United States of America before games.

“Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave?”

This line of The Star Spangled Banner, a tune fondly playing in our minds, was written by Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Ft. McHenry while detained aboard a British ship on September 14, 1814. Imagine watching your home amidst the onslaught of a force wanting to take it from you. Feel that sinking feeling in your stomach!

“O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave”

The Star Spangled Banner, on July 26, 1889, was officially designated to be the anthem of our nation by President Herbert C. Hoover. Why?  This line swells our hearts, making us feel pride in our nation and all we have accomplished since our sacred document, The Constitution of the United States of America, was signed on September 17, 1787 by our founding fathers.

This powerful, eloquent tone has driven us to defend and better our nation for over 130 years. Silently singing the anthem in their memory propels our troops forward to protect all our nation represents, steeled by the patriotism underpinning our national pride.  So why would a citizen of our great land, the only true democracy on our entire planet, disrespect the anthem representing the passion with which we defend our shores?

We holler the anthem at public gatherings and pledge our allegiance to the flag to remind us of all our land is, to exhibit our pride, and fill our hearts with bravery. We sing to celebrate and unify us as negotiate with the world all around us. So how can we let a single team in a major sporting organization disgrace our nation and all who have fought for it by not allowing fans to hear feel the passion for our nation?

“We respect and always have respected the passion people have for the anthem and our country. But we also loudly hear the voices of those who feel that the anthem does not represent them,” says Mark Cuban, attempting to defend his despicable decision.

This anthem represents our country, our national culture.  How can the pride to fight for our land not be respected?  Whether you are the descendant of a founder or an immigrant, how can you not feel the pride of fighting for our nation.

  1. Has he, (Mark Cuban) ever thought about what would happen if a Chinese businessman ever called out their
    country’s national anthem and chose to not allow the anthem be played at certain events or rituals in their society?
    No of course not! Why? Because it would be treasonous to go against the government in such an open and public
    setting! They would be arrested and convicted of political crimes, and imprisonment for like 10 years, with fish-heads and rice as your meals everyday! Yes even those Billionaires, well especially their Billionaires!

    1. Mark Cuban is part of the Chinese commonest party. He at least excepts their money meaning he agrees with what they stand for. So trying to appeal to this POS is like trying to appeal to Hitler. For that is all he is!

      1. The Marxist Communist Democrat Party is out to destroy and eliminate any reference, name, statue, or mention of America, or anything relating to God and America. It is literally “In Your Face” obvious.

  2. I agree with Stephen. Some stupid people forget great opportunities they have in our country and then bad mouth it.
    They are so rich, living in a bubble, forgetting who pays their bills. He is another reason I stopped watching the NBA And NFL. He is in the same class as hypocrite LeBron James.

  3. Although I totally disagree with Cuban, he has the right to not play the anthem before any event he sponsors. I don’t really care why he makes the choice he does, it’s his call.

  4. Cuban has been an arrogant ass for years. He think his many dollars buy him respect. Wrong it just makes him a bigger jerk. Go on over to china mark. Won’t watch shark tank anymore.

    1. Since these pieces of shit started kneeling I don’t watch any sports they can all go to hell
      Because that POS Cuban I won’t even watch shark tank
      These people have no respect for the flag far as I’m concerned they can go FK themselves

  5. I agree with all the comments. Mark says what about the people that don’t feel like the anthem represents them. Well, Mark, they and you are wrong that the anthem represents every American and if you are not an American or living off of the American dream then you do not have a dog in that hunt. The Flag stays, the anthem stays and you can go.

    1. agree!!
      Why do we allow citizens in from other countries that want to bring all of their ways and ideas with them… The saying goes:”when in
      Rome do as the Romans do”
      .. don’t like it?? Stay home?
      easy peazie !!

  6. Everyone should stop watching basketball and see how fast they run with their tail between their legs when they don’t have a big salary , go to China and play there. Sure you will bow to the communist which is what you all are. Bunch of disgrace people who should be thankful for the USA and people who fight and have died to give you the freedom

  7. Sporting events are ENTERTAINMENT VENUES…the players are ENTERTAINING their audiences…they are NOT considered workers at a job site, they are ENTERTAINERS!
    If Mark Cuban and his rich basketball players do not WANT to be considered “respectful Americans,” they should LEAVE the country that has made them ALL rich!!!
    The Americans that have given their lives, mortally or medically, deserve better treatment from those that demonstrate such disrespect! Only SMALL people with such SMALL CHARACTER would stoop this low!

  8. Mark Cuban is a big dummy. He always has been glad to see people are all realizing it. His name fits except it should be China cuba

  9. YUP… ‘I’ll stop watching Maverick games… won’t buy any Maverick sportswear, NOT GOING TO EVEN WATCH ‘SHARK TANK’… will watch something more interesting that seeing Mark Cuban say: “for those reasons, I’m out…” Waste of my time! MARK CUBAN… YOU WILL GET THE MESSAGE FINANCIALLY, AND WHEN YOU DO, CHANGING YOUR MIND WON’T MATTER ANY MORE… YOU’VE ALREADY SIGNED YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL DEATH WARRANT.

  10. I don’t watch any of these overpaid, un- American jerks anyway. If we don’t spend our money with enemies of the state, they will be the one’s hurt because money is their only reason to exist.

  11. I quit watching the NFL, NBA, and MLB since the knee taking pastsrnut came on the scene. Now I do not pay to watch or watch any form of hollywood elite movies or shows on tv. Remember most can only act like real people. They don’t know how to be real people. They are just scum of the earth.

  12. If you don’t want to respect the United States, why are you here? Don’t come to the USA for Freedom and then put down America!!! Don’t leave your country and then try to change ours.
    REAL AMERICANS…
    Love the National Anthem!
    Pledge allegiance to the Flag!
    Say Merry Christmas!

  13. My family members have died in every war starting with the Revolutionary War and some still are dying to defend the Principles of the United States of America and Our FREEDOMS!!! Any Stupid, Illiterate, Ignorant Jackass who doesn’t stand for the American Flag and the National Anthem needs to leave this country and go where they can survive like they have here in the United States of America!!! None of our huge family watch any sports any more except High School sports and sometimes the Olympics depending upon who the sponsors are. If Every American would stop watching overpaid professional sports people as well as their sponsors, it would all come to a screeching halt very quickly!!! How many of those so called pro’s in the sports ever served in the American Military??? Not very many I’d bet!!!!

  14. Why is it that every company is under obligation to be diverse in its employment but not sports. Lets hold these teams to the same standards. Most teams are 90% black. We should give these owners something to really work on. Equality, ,show them what America is all about, everyone matters in this country, except the arrogant ELITES. I am proud of who I am and where I came from and I Love this Country and all she stands for!

  15. I agree with every comment except Wes Bartlett’s! Cuban may own the team but he doesn’t have the right to dictate in regard to the National Anthem!! He does not represent America! He’s just another Communist Bloodsucker!

  16. I liked you but I’m sorry I can’t anymore. Disrespecting our Anthem is Disrespectful to our military and whole country. These players who get rich in sports in this country and then disrespect it need to be cut out from playing. MOVE to China.

  17. We already knew this POS Cuban was bad news and now I expect many more will understand why. A defender of genocide and anti-American azzdouchery will get his comeuppance eventually.

  18. Friends may come and friends may go, and friends may peter out you know.. Mark Cuban’s no friend without a doubt peter in or peter out.

  19. Shame on you Mark Cuban , you have lost my respect and those of many. Don’t even think about ever running for President. I used to enjoy watching Shark Tank. No more

  20. I fully agree with nearly all comments.Mark Cuban and all NBA Players and NFL Players who kneel,need to be kicked out of their leagues.The Commissioners of both NFL and NBA need to hold the players,coaches,and owners accountable.If these pieces of crap don’t start respecting the Anthem,flag,and we fans,many like me who are Veterans,then the players and coaches are OFFICIALLY DONE in their league and sport,and owners lose their teams and are also out and can NEVER AGAIN OWN ANY PRO SPORT TEAM! If the Commissioners refuse to do these things,they are out of their jobs and can NEVER BE IN POSITION OF POWER IN ANY COMPANY EVER AGAIN,AND EVERYONE BE ARRESTED AND CHARGED FOR TREASON AND LOSE EVERYTHING!
    Mark Cuban is a sorry,ungrateful S.O.B.that either gets his head out of his butt,apologizes,gets on his sorry excuse of a team and tell them to stand for Anthem or else and plays Anthem at next home game,or he’ll have SO MUCH HELL COME UPON HIM BY WE TRUE AMERICANS VIA LETTERS, FAXES,AND EMAILS,HE WON’T BE ABLE TO ENTER THE SHITTY ARENA THE DALLAS MAVERICKS PLAY IN! LET’S START FLOODING THE ARENA WITH LETTERS, FAXES,AND EMAILS! DON’T THREATEN WITH VIOLENCE! JUST LET HIM KNOW HOW GREATLY DISAPPOINTED WE ARE IN HIM AND WE’RE BOYCOTTING HIM,HIS TEAM,SPONSORS,AND SHARK TANK UNTIL HE WAKES UP!
    LET’S ALSO DO THIS WITH HIS SPONSORS,BUSINESSES IN ARENA,AND HIS FELLOW SHARKS AND THE EXECS.OF SHARK TANK AND ALL THOSE BUSINESSES ON SHARK TANK HE INVESTED IN! MESSAGE NEEDS TO BE SENT! WHO’S WITH ME?

    1. I am surprised that the braved patriotic folks in Texas even put up with egotistical pos and boycott his games and the sponsors that help pay his payroll, that is the only way to hurt these no count ass holes.

  21. There should be a Law , here in the USA, to extradite people who do NOT RESPECT OUR LAWS, to be able to kick them out of here. They get rich in America, and they have the guts to criticize what was here long before they were even born. That man Cuban is an arrogant, ignorant, (other words could be said about him), self centered idiot. KICK HIM AND HIS TEAM OUT TO THE CURVE!!!!!

  22. This is the beatification this country we are free to speak and say anything we want it call the first admenment

  23. Take your team an play them in another country .YOU JACOFF! An GIve all your AMER?iCAN MONEY ! BACK. You unAmerican JAC OFF !

  24. While an entirely white sport is intolerable so is an entirely black one. When cries of diversity are screamed from the highest peaks whites are derided and shamed and those forces who insist on equality do everything to supplant the white race. The population of blacks in the he United States is around eighteen percent yet the NBA is nearly one hundred percent black. Diversity is a farce and I won’t support anything that seeks eliminate any race from anything based on the farcical concept of unity and diversity. So rant on privileged black men the country that has made you wealthy doesn’t need you or your sport.

  25. Cuban ; is that a bad cigar that smells like rubber when lit?
    So , does anyone watch sports?
    I haven’t in 6 years , you reading this “Cuban” ?? Oh,my bad , your momma got to read for you.

  26. I used to be a big fan of basketball. But I stopped! The team that I followed was the San Antonio Spurs. I had the most respect when David Robinson ( The Admiral ) would stand at Attention when the Anthem was playing, then came Popovich disrespecting My President Trump when he said that there shouldn’t be any kneeling during the Anthem! Pop is wrong and should retire along with his mouth. As for Cuban I never liked him!! He always thought of above regular humans!! Go to China MF!!!!!!!

  27. That’s why I’m done with sports. I don’t watch even my favorite teams no more. This athletes make to much money to be bitching about injustice. You jerks sure don’t live an unfair life. I’m talking to the ones who disrespect our flag and national anthem. Why don’t we cut your salaries since all you do is dribble a ball and have fun, and give it to our veterans and military who are real heroes. Mark Cuban go back to Cuba, you won’t be missed you crybaby.

  28. With a name like Cuban probably a good place for him would be Cuba. Ship him out !!!!

  29. He is the jerk on Shark Tank….the others…pleasant…love . I, RARELY, watch it anymore because of Mark Cuban…the big jerk!!!!!

  30. Who watches the NBA anyway? Haven’t watched it in 10 yrs. it’s a pathetic league. Players don’t practice or play hard Most to all of the owners are swine and could care less about u peons anyway These Anti- American owners support BLM and could care less if u or die fighting for them. They like taking and making money off of u

  31. TRUE American citizens appreciate what the flag and the Nattonal anthem stand for. That flag allows you to choose not to schedule the singing but you cant stop the people from singing it. So who wins?

  32. If you were in China you would be considered a traitor. Thus would be killed or disappear. Cancel culture needs to cancel them and then cancel themselves. This is the only free country left and we need to stand up for before it’s gone. We need to deport all that are against America and our laws and constitution. They had the right to utilize the rights our constitution to be free and prosper but idiots like Cuban and his team and the powers that are in right now want to deny those rights to us. That team and Cuban contribute nothing to our country.

  33. The left has politicized professional sports to destroy them. That day is fast approaching,idiot Cuban! They did the same to the Boy Scouts of America,demanding and getting gay scout masters for ” inclusion” & “diversity” and got the predictable outcome,sacrificing boys on the alter of leftism. They are evil.
