Men s basketball NBA forcing teams to play US national anthem before tip-off

DALLAS MAVERICKS owner Mark Cuban relented on Wednesday and the United States national anthem will be played before home games this season after the NBA reiterated its “longstanding league policy” to include the song.

Mark Cuban Now Claims He Didn t Cancel National Anthem

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.
