DALLAS -- The battered reputation of Josh Howard took another hit this week when an online video surfaced showing the Dallas Mavericks forward disrespecting the national anthem.
In a video posted on YouTube, Howard is shown on a football field at a charity flag football game. As the national anthem plays in the background, Howard approaches a camera and says: "'The Star-Spangled Banner is going on right now. I don't even celebrate that (expletive). I'm black."
Howard's agent, Jeff Schwartz, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Donnie Nelson, the Mavericks' president of basketball operations, directed questions to team owner Mark Cuban, who in an e-mail declined to comment.
The incident is the latest off-court problem for Howard, a fifth-year pro from Wake Forest who averaged 19.9 points and seven rebounds last season. He was arrested in July when police said he was drag racing at 94 mph in a 55 zone. A court appearance was scheduled for next week.
Howard was criticized last season for saying in a radio interview during a first-round playoff series against New Orleans that he occasionally smokes marijuana. Later that same series, he angered coach Avery Johnson by throwing himself a birthday bash after a Game 4 loss to the Hornets.

Dwight Howard and Josh Howard are two different basketball players, with two totally different ways about themselves.
But I guess they all look the same to you now don't they, bigot.

You're kind of a fucking moron, Rob. Explain the clear connection between Obama and some ignorant football player running his mouth.

yeah, I get it...RobMoney spent months and months professing his solid democratic voting record, but since Obama is "inexperienced" and "crooked", he has decided to support McCain. No one cares, vote who you want to.
As long as you are going to try to start a political discussion...have it about real life issues instead of this 17th party association some football player equals Obama nonsense.

Did ya click on the link of the youtube video and watch him say what he said?
I'm making no connections here, go watch what dude said into some crappy cameraphone and then come back and you can apologize for calling me a moron.
...and why did everyone automatically assume this guy was a football player? Way to call someone ignorant and then be toatally ignorant about the shit you're posting about. Fuck off dude.

This guy isn't some crackhead, he's a popular NBA star who has influence with the poeple who are his fans. In other words, he's a role model.

I only wish that I could be interested in the NBA less anymore.

he says "obama '08, all that shit". assuming he was serious, what is the connection? an idiot namedropped obama, oh my god, he's going to be a horrible president? he has no control over that. maybe you should explain what your point is here a little better

Rob needs to stop posting in this forum, he's losing respect at a ridiculous rate.
this is one of the worst threads ever. how is it obama's fault that some ignorant athlete is acting like a moron? this guy has nothing to do with obama, or his campaign.

He's the same guy who came out and said he still smokes pot.... by no means does he want to be a role model.

This was one of the top stories in sports yesterday.
After I saw the video I knew it would be a big hit here with Obama-nation.

it's not a "big hit," we don't care about it. what we (or i, anyway) care about is the fact that people do care about it
explain to me why you care about this, you haven't yet

I don't care about it Bob, in terms of political reasons.
I posted it to get a rise out of you.
The End.

WINNER!
at least someone here still has a sense of humor.

There's your connection.

if anyone else on the board had posted this, nobody would have thought they were being serious about it (except maybe that freetibet guy)
think about that for a minute

Rob, you manage to prove on an almost daily basis that you're a worthless bigot. The fact that it is racism - pure and simple racism - underlying your issues with Obama has always been transparent; now it's not even subtle. Maybe you'd feel more comfortable posting on the Stormfront website you dumb fucking hick.

I thought you were joking around when you said you'd vote McCain. Since you weren't, I can't really tell when you're joking and when you're not, because even the most silly thing seems like you could be serious about it.

I might be crazy, but the fact that McCain has been the biggest proponent of what wreaked havoc on our economy; the fact that the extent of his "change" is changing how he does things, not what he does; the fact that another trillion dollars will come out of the taxpayers pocket to pay for the continuation of McCain/Bush's "foreign policy"; the fact that Palin is a delusional religious fundamentalist; the fact that she wants the rest of the nation to be forced to endure a lack of "sex education" that failed in her own home, let alone the entire nation; the fact that EXPERIENCE shows that McCain/Palin's entire economic philosophy has been a failure virtually every time it's been put into place seems a hell of a lot more important than some fucking football player.
Yeah. You vote for McCain. This athlete really proves your point.
