What Was Josh Howard Thinking?

 
Some of the videos of this are being taken down from sites like YouTube, but if the below video doesn't work another version of it should. Here is what Mavericks forward Josh Howard says in the clip: ”The Star-Spangled Banner is going on right now. I don’t even celebrate that shit. I’m black. G-d damn Obama and all that shit.” What is Josh Howard doing saying this crap on camera? The only reason I post this is to remind athletes and their advisors that it is too easy to have one small comment at a charity flag football game end up a topic of national conversation. In this digital world, we all must be a lot more careful about what comes out of our mouths. Reputation, image, and branding is everything. Don’t drop your value through a stupid comment.
