Dallas Mavericks owner and businessman Mark Cuban has fired back at President Donald Trump’s criticism of NFL players who decline to stand during the national anthem, as well as the president’s decision to revoke a White House invitation to Golden State Warriors' star Stephen Curry.

He has a bad case of Trump envy!
What blowback? He is winning this issue.
Excellent comment.
That's what makes Trump different from previous presidents.
He tells us like it is and then stands his ground.
Yeb Bush would be peeing his pants if he was president now. No backbone.
The Mavericks are toast. Bank on it.
Mark Cuban, miserably failed reality show “star,” insanely and bitterly jealous of Trump.
I don’t think Trump will be the one to blink. Been sending messages to Goodell and others that I am done with the NFL and it’s support of racist social misfits over America-loving citizens who understand what gratitude for this Nation means.
I think we need to end the pro athlete gravy train. Legislators need to end college scholarship programs for athletics. Student athletics for degree bound students are fine and in our best traditions. No more freshman athletics and no more athletic scholarship money.
Additionally, every team has a local grocery store sponsoring them. Buy your groceries elsewhere and mail the receipt to the sponsoring chain CEO with a nice note that you will shop with them when they drop their sponsorship.
Like when Mark Cuban founded the Fallen Patriot Foundation to aid families of U.S. military killed in Iraq?
