No national anthem at Mavs game

[Mavs2021]

Cuban, apparently:  "But we also loudly hear the voices of those who feel that the anthem does not represent them."

I'm not sure I even understand what Cuban means.  As far as I can see, the Anthem is not supposed to "represent" any one, or any group, in particular.  I just look at it as a song that was written to commemorate not being killed by King George's army. 

And, neither do I understand what Cuban is talking about when he says,  "Going forward, our hope is that people will take the same passion they have for this issue and apply the same amount of energy to listen to those who feel differently from them."

How much "passion" does one have to have to be able to understand the arguments on either side of this question of playing the anthem or not?  Personally, I've been listening to all the arguments for the last several years.  I guess it just irks Cuban that some people just don't see things the way he does.  

Neither do I, but I´m sure it means he pissed of Silver, the NBPA, the NBRA and all the other owners to make sure Luka gets mauled even worse going forward.
