White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said she hadn’t spoken to President Joe Biden about the Dallas Mavericks’ decision to ditch the national anthem, but believes he supports this kind of protest at sporting events.
A reporter asked the White House spokeswoman Wednesday about the president’s opinion on Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who recently came under fire after he confirmed to The Athletic that he dropped the tradition of playing Star-Spangled Banner ahead of the NBA team’s home games. The decision was made because “many” felt the anthem “doesn’t represent them,” The Athletic reported, citing a source close to the billionaire.
