A YouTube video from a charity flag football game in July has Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard embroiled in controversy yet again.

The video, from Allen Iverson's event, shows Howard, as the national anthem is being sung, saying: "'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black." Howard also makes a hard-to-hear reference to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.


You can see the video here: Source The original one has been removed and I had to search for it, I did not finish the video so I am unsure whether this is the correct video. NOTE: People who might find this offensive should not watch it.

This is not the first time Howard is in trouble as we all know, he spoke about occasionally smoking marijuana. Also in 2006, Howard opted out of playing for the U.S. Olympic team program, reportedly because he said it conflicted with his summer training camps.

Anyone think this will make teams who are interested in him stay away? Personally I think he is the best all-around player in the Mavs.
