I think it merits it's own thread because once you start dissecting it just a bit there are about ten different issues that come up.b,121b,121Regardless, dude is a hot mess right now. The fact the Mavs coulda had Artest for him depresses me.

    When I first saw the headline: MAVS STAR TRASHES ANTHEM...I assumed it was Dirkbot.

    Quote:/font1h,121b,121DALLAS -- A YouTube video from a charity flag football game in July has Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard embroiled in controversy yet again.b,121b,121The 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." Howard also makes a hard-to-hear reference to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama).b,121b,121Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said, according to The Dallas Morning News, that the team dealt with Howard at the time of the incident. He added that the team has a plan in place to address the issue at training camp.b,121b,121"That said, we will be going through some advanced communication skill sessions together this training camp," Cuban said Tuesday. "I have explained to him that cell phone cameras are not your friend and that what you think you said on camera is never what people will hear when it shows up on YouTube or TV."b,121b,121h,121

    People who served or know someone who served and died find disrespect of the National Anthem offensive.
  • GenePontecorvoGenePontecorvo 5,612 Posts
    Or really, it's offensive to people who experience the phenomenon known as "national pride".

    OJ Simpson and Adam "PacMan" Jones think Josh Howard makes bad decisions.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121It seems like in the last 10 years the folks I've seen display the most "national pride" are those who weren't born here but got here as fast as they could.

    The problem isn't that he said it, or even feels that way, but it was caught on tape and put on the internet for everyone to stew over. Like Cuban said, the camera isn't your friend.
