Personally I'm for it. We don't play the anthem before movies. https://t.co/3fVHurOQyv

Have covered sports all over the world. The US is an outlier when it comes to the pre-game national anthem. Would have more resonance as a rarity instead of being the rule. https://t.co/waCJalxwGG

WATCH: Hannity and Mark Cuban Get in Fiery Debate; Talk Trump, Coronavirus, Bringing Back the NBA
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban stopped-by ‘Hannity’ Wednesday night to discuss a series of issues including President Trump, the Coronavirus, and the possibility of bringing sports back to the United States.
“He’s the most powerful man in the world and he always plays the victim card. ‘The Dems are out to get me, the media is out to get me.’ You’ve got to be the leader, you’ve got to be the strongest man in the game,” said Cuban.
“They spied on the guy! They spied on his campaign, his transition team… They tried to take him out!” fired-back Hannity. “He fought back!”
