Mark Cuban Now Claims He ‘Didn’t Cancel’ National Anthem
Breitbart ^ | February 10 2021 | DYLAN GWINN

Posted on 02/11/2021 7:23:07 AM PST by knighthawk

After reportedly confirming to The Athletic that he canceled the national anthem, then having the league step in and order him to play it, Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban has decided that he never canceled the anthem after all.

In a Wednesday interview with ESPN’s The Jump, Cuban said that the team was having an ongoing dialogue about the anthem but “probably would have ended up playing it at some point when fans came back.”

The only trouble with that is that there were some fans in attendance at American Airlines Arena on Monday night and, just like the other Dallas home games, the anthem did not get played.

Crazy leftists always tell lies that contradict their previous lies—it is a feature, not a bug.

Or a John Kerry “I canceled before I didn’t cancel it”.

If you didn’t refuse to stop playing it, once news broke of his supposed plan to not play the national anthem, why wasn’t he out there immediately with press releases, tweets, etc. Refuting what was being reported?

He is one of the reasons I stopped watching The Shark Tank, that and when a young American business man came to the Sharks seeking an investment for a pick up truck storage device the man wanted to make in his hometown, in the USA, none of the Sharks would back him unless he moved production, to China...

Imagine that, a person wants to bring jobs to his hometown and these rich clods want him to take those jobs overseas so THEY can make more money, faster. Mark Cuban can go pound sand as far as I am concerned.

The focus group summaries and actual comments on Mavericks’ Owner Mark Cuban’s role in this stupidity probably brought this quick change from the Liar Cuban.

He’s scum. Here in the DFW area, he’s a sick joke.
And our “conservative” local radio talking head is pathetically enamored with him! Just like Sean Vannity is 🤬

His remarks over the years show he hates America.
The country that made him rich.
