Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard has done and got himself stuck in a bit of a controversy.  Josh took part in Allen Iverson’s charity flag football event in July and during the singing of the National Anthem he stated:

“‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is going on. I don’t celebrate this shit. I’m black.”

After that comment he also made a comment about Barack Obama that is hard to understand.  Josh is taking  a lot of heat for his comment, but did you notice that no one had their hats off for the Anthem either?  Is it that hard to take a hat off and show some respect for the country you live in and allows you to earn million of dollars playing a game?
