Josh Howard Ladies and Gents!

Josh Howard is in the news again, again its not with good reason, this time at a Flag Football game held for Charity by Nuggets star Allen Iverson, Howard was caught on camera phone during the singing of the national anthem saying,
'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black."

Unfortunately this video has became an overnight debate all across the internet, even following Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to his personal blog page

Cuban has been receiving some not so kind words from hundreds of fans, and non fans complaining about Howard's latest antics, and Cuban's inability to keep Howard under his thumb, what many have failed to realize is that while Josh Howard does work for Mark Cuban, he is still a human being, without the nice cars, and large contracts, and professional sports jerseys, Josh Howard is a lot like you and I, and a lot like you and I, Josh says and does things that can be taken either way, some will agree, some will disagree, it doesn't help that Josh's public displays have been so close together like a long thread that's being unraveled from a sweater, the sweater being his performance in the playoffs . to make matters worse, Howard went on to say something about Barack Obama later on in the video, which unfortunately doesn't shine too greatly on Obama.

The video has created an uproar of responses, many of which are racial slurs and arguements, on Cuban's blog and even on youtube.
Mark Cuban and Mavericks Head Coach Rick Carlisle have both stated that Josh will be confronted and disciplined outside of the media's eye, which is definitely the last place Howard should be at the moment.
