I know I’m late with this. Thanks to loyal reader Tanya for this tip! NBA star Josh Howard’s words stirred controversy when he was caught on a cell phone video disrespecting Senator Barack Obama and the National Anthem.
The comments were made during Allen Iverson’s Celebrity Flag football game in Baltimore in July. Howard said, “The Star Spangled banner going on right now. I don’t even celebrate that shit. But I’m black got dammit. Obama, all that shit.”
So far there’s been no apology issued from Howard’s camp which probably means he meant what he said. Not every black person is an Obama bandwagon rider.
