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.”
Apparently he doesn’t obey the speed limit either. He’s black.
He was arrested in July when police said he was drag racing at 94 mph in a 55 zone.
And apparently he doesn’t give a crap if he’s a crummy role model for his community. He’s black.
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.
And it seems he doesn’t give a rat’s ass that his team lost in game four… so he had himself a party. Responsibility isn’t his thing. He’s black.
Later that same series, he angered coach Avery Johnson by throwing himself a birthday bash after a Game 4 loss to the Hornets.
A lot of my buddies that I served with are black.
SFC Lola Bolden, one of my mentors from way back and a victim of Tim McVeigh and his band lunatics in Oklahoma City, was black. Two of my very best friends (Chuck and Darin) are black. Colin Powell is black. Condoleeza Rice is black. Bill Cosby is black. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was black. Hell, the guy that invented the gas mask was black. None of them disrespected their country.
Josh Howard doesn’t disrespect the National Anthem because he’s black. He disrespects the National Anthem because he’s a piece of shit. The only thing he does because he’s black is blame his character flaws on his race, and the only thing he disrespects more than his country is his own heritage.
I know Skvo is still recovering from his gender reassignment operation, but if he were around he would gladly nominate this asshat for Rabbit Pellet of the Week.
