Colby Covington isn’t fond of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s recent decision to remove the national anthem from playing before the team’s home games. In a tweet Wednesday, the former UFC welterweight title challenger Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) ripped Cuban, as well as the NBA for allowing the change. Covington also criticized the league’s social justice initiative from the 2019-2020 season that allowed players to have social justice messages and phrases spelled out on the backs of their jerseys. “Can’t play The National Anthem and can’t say FREE Hong Kong, but you could customize the back of your official @dallasmavs jersey ALL summer long to say: ‘KillCops.’” Covington wrote . “@markcuban and the @NBA are absolute trash.” Cuban, who’s owned the Dallas NBA franchise since 2000, made the call prior to the season’s start. The Mavericks have not played the anthem during their 12 home games this regular season
