A YouTube video from a charity flag football game in July has Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard embroiled in controversy yet again.


The video, from Allen Iverson's event, shows Howard, as the national anthem is being sung, saying: "'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black."

I am pretty speachless...

Let's chalk this one up to an idiot issue, rather than a racial / political one.

speachless as well...


Obviously, our nation's history contains moments that are, to say the least, despicable; however, not very many people in the world have the opportunity to make millions of dollars doing anything - nevermind playing a game full-time.  Yes, times are still tough for many minorities, but is your life really all that horrible, Mr. Howard? Didn't think so.

Unbelievable...

Josh Howard is one "special" guy.

I wonder when he's going to finish destroying his public image.

Saying it a charity event wasn't bright either.

I'll take this a step further than Josh Howard. How about Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones? Two of the most powerful men/owners in their respective sport. These two dont care about what their players do in public, if they did, they would have put a stop to it long ago. How many "blunders" will JH make before Cuban really does something about it? I place JH right up there with other past notable Dallas athletes...Michael Irving, Deion Sanders (their whole house of ill repute that they had there in Dallas to 'entertain' themselves with women and drugs) Leon Lett (drug trafficking) and a few others that I wont even name. As powerful as these owners are, winning is the only thing they care about. Jones couldn't wait to snatch up the troubled Pacman Jones. Football you have 53 men to police or who should be grown enough to police themselves...basketball you have 15. It's up to an organization to deal directly with trash like they have in Dallas. These individuals are supposed to be role models for our children. Unfortunately, our children that are into sports and look at these guys every move see this crap and then go to school and repeat it. I have a 6 year old who knows more about basketball and football then some of my friends and I am in my early 40's. He knows most players in both leagues on every team. He is also on the internet reading sports sites. Yes, SIX years old. If he came across this video I would have to explain it to him.

It's a pathetic state when people like JH are continually allowed to get away with doing and saying things that he does and say simply because his owner doesn't have the gazoos to discipline him the correct way and if he continues bounce his you know what on the bench for a while, fine him, and make a statement that no matter how good you are, much more is expected of you!

Oh well, that was my rant.

Cuban probably agrees with Howard.  Cuban is one of the biggest hypocrites in the United States.

The fact that Howard is hanging out with Iverson speaks for itself.

The charity event was probably to benefit the No Snitch Society.

This is America, he has the right to share his opinion without being treated as if he committed a crime.

No.  This is America.  He has the right to share his opinion.  Others, though, have the equal right to point out what an idiot he is.

are you all kidding? this guy is refreshing for no other reason than that he is candid - something that the dominant majority of sports professionals aren't. is he a great role model? probably not. does he bleed red white and blue? apparently not. but hey, dude's got a right to say what he's got on his mind. i'd like to hear out why he thinks that before i pass any judgment on him.
