    It appears to have served some purpose to American sports fans for many decades.

    So shutting it down to please a noisy racist protest group and the Woke crowd does seem rather intrusive even if you care not recognize it.



    How about you tell me of some public activity you enjoy and I will have it altered to my liking under protest. No freedom involved by your standard.

    The only "freedom" I see either at issue or at risk in this situation is that of Mark Cuban to play or not play a song before games played by the team that he owns.

    They still belong to an organization known as the NBA last time I looked. But if he wants to do this and can as an owner then so be it and see what the consequence will be.

    Fans pay the Bills I would remind him and insults to country matter!

    And this constitutes an "insult to the country" why? Because you say so?
