DALLAS (AP)—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.
Well, he seems to be the center of attention these days. First the drugs, then the drag racing, now this.

As much as I think Howard is a dumbass (and he is, rightfully) did anyone see the blog that Mark Cuban posted about this situation that included the emails from fans? Some of them were straight up racist and really make the whole situation worse.
Still the man needs to grow up and get a grip, because he has to know that a camera is in his face at all times and that whatever he says and does will be heard about by the masses.

He's got a freaking people. Many Americans dont see Josh Howard, they see that black man in a nice car. " That boy must have stolen it."
So black people can't be Americans? While you didn't directly say that, it seemed like a stereotype of such claims. Racism is everywhere and in every country. However America is the biggest target for it because of yes Obama (and the fact dipshits like Howard decide to do something stupid to bring media attention to themselves and the rest of America).
