You must be whining again. lmfao
No, that’s left to you leftists that are constantly offended by everything and in need of a safe space and warm blankie. Oh, you also seem to need hugging rooms as well, at least on college campuses. Don’t stay out of mommy’s basement too long. It’s tough out there.

He either did or tried to do everything he said he’d try to do. The fact that a few RINOs and all leftists in Congress tried to stop almost everything he did doesn’t change that. He did do away with the bogus tax attached to it.

He had a Republican house and Senate but his fat *** was too incompetent to get it done. He’s not the president anymore you don’t have to keep licking his boots when he clearly effed up lol

There is actually a Wikipedia article entitled, "Veracity of statements by Donald Trump", and the Wiki editors won't even allow an article on Joe Biden's sexual assault accuser.

CNN had to bury a Larry King Live video from over 20 years ago of Tara Reade's mother calling into the show, but Erin Calipari gets to have her own article on Wikipedia?

The media was completely mum on all of the Biden’s dirty dealings as well. They didn’t touch the Ukraine or China dirty dealings, not that it’s any surprise. It’s nothing more than the Dem propaganda arm and everyone knows it.

What if the Mavs all bend thy knee next game .. I'm calling it .. We cant have that damn song !!!!!! Be cool for about 100 patriots to take the floor and sing the song in Unison .. Blacks Whites , females , brown skinned , all combined to show unity and love of the greatest country ever formed . Hell make a 1000 , its Texas .

So you’re home and about to watch a sporting event, and you get this deep hankerin’ to salute a flag while singing the anthem. But your favorite song ain’t played before the game. Why not put your TV on pause, crank that anthem in your living room, snap to attention and sing til you’re hoarse? That way the anthem lovin croud gets to have their fun. And no one has to be triggered over a kneeler. Everybody wins!

Can anyone point me to the outrage on this board about MLS not playing the anthem?

Mark Cuban is another one of those people who likes the sound of his voice. He knew the NBA wasn't going to stand for that. The NBA knew fans wouldn't stand for Cuban's decision. Unless it's a joint decision from all owners it wasn't going to fly.

A better question is does anyone watch or even give two ***** about MLS? I can’t answer your question simply because I’ve never watched a single second of that sport and never will. I can watch grass grow and have as much fun. Since it’s winter, I can watch paint dry instead.

I love that you literally shed tears because the anthem was going to be played one fewer time today and you think that shows your high character. Keep virtue signaling about stuff that doesn’t matter bud
Sure thing comrade. I’ll bet you had a fist raised when you posted that ********. Were you wearing a Che shirt as well? Skinny jeans and a black hoodie?

Have they done so for decades and then stopped to appease clueless would-be bolsheviks? If not, then you won’t find it.

Do you two understand how that doesn’t matter at all? What does a sport’s popularity have to do with it?

Actually, it's very relevant insofar as your original question is concerned. You wondered why there is no concern about the lack of the playing of the anthem at MLS games. If no one pays attention to MLS games in the first place, then, of course that's relevant in addressing your question. The better response would have addressed the increasing popularity of MLS and then re-presented the original question.

It's more that this is a blatant thumbing of the nose to half the country. I personally am not affected by it. I go to one game a year more or less, and am usually 2 or 3 beers in before getting to my seats.

It could have just ended with letting players kneel and being done with it. This was a move to stick it to his enemies on the right side of the isle. I mean.. lol, they weren't even playing the anthem and no one noticed... so Mark Cuban had to make a press release. Pathetic move by the woke. It's not virtue signaling by the right, but by the left.
You mean the Rs, which don't comprise have the country.

Glad morons like you did not exist when people were forming this country. We would have a queen instead of a president. You've slept well because of them. You're welcome.

NBA actually showed some guts this time.
Don't be fooled. The NBA could care less about the Anthem. They're only concern is they know they will lose millions from the backlash over not playing it. If the NBA had guts, they would say you're going to play the Anthem, and when you do you are going to Stand and Honor it while they are playing it!!

You make a good point. Perhaps I gave them a little too much credit.

Lmao these tough guys were really going to break down if they didn’t hear the anthem before a European-led basketball team plays. Too funny
