The NBA has forced each of the teams that compete within the United States to play the anthem before each game, all in consequence of the controversial owner’s decision.
The NBA decision did not sit well with many people around the country, and some of the fans agree with the eccentric millionaire and his decision not to pass the national song.
After many concerns from fans, the league made it clear that each of the teams within the association must pass the anthem in each game, interceding in Cuban’s plans. Clearly, people reacted to this on social media.
NBA communications chief Mike Bass announced the news, explaining that now the teams will begin to receive fans in the arenas and in turn will have to play the anthem.

In the times we live in, these decisions can be problematic for anyone, no matter who it is or how much money you have. Cuban earned a lot of bad comments and hatred in this situation, but he doesn’t seem to care.
