Dallas Mavericks have stopped playing national anthem before home games

What do people think about this? I am not sure there is an explanation yet about why they decided this.

    Here we go

    NBA Chief Communications Officer Mike Bass: “With NBA teams now in the process of welcoming fans back into their arenas, all teams will play the national anthem in keeping with longstanding league policy.”

    Sorry, just don’t think it’s a big deal whatsoever. Never really understood why it was played at sporting events anyways.

    Seriously, can we do away with the anthem and "honoring the military" at every fucking sporting event already?

    Sure, but that would require the DoD to stop paying teams to do it. They won't do it because it's great advertising.

    They should play a different country’s national anthem instead.

    "A report released in 2015 by Arizona Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake found that the Pentagon spent $6.8 million on sports marketing contracts with the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and Major League Soccer on what the senators dubbed "paid patriotism." The practice was subsequently banned by the Pentagon."
