Mark Cuban tells Mavs to stop playing the National Anthem

Thats dumb that they are now forced to do so. I never got why the anthem was played before sporting events to begin with. Unless its like the World Cup or the Olympics why is it there? The NFL is so wrapped up in its military relationship that it wastes money for pointless jet fly overs. It seemed to cause an uproar but from my knowledge I think 75% of the people complaining about it don't really care. They just want to bitch about something and try and turn it into a patriotic competition.
