Thoughts? Freedom of speech or one of the stupidest athletes ever (arrested for speeding and openly admitting smoking pot, etc..)?

[Mizango]

He admitted to smoking weed a few last year sometime, I mean at least he admits it as opposed to being arrested with it and having a 35 year old man saying it was his first time. LOL @ that "I aint standing for this shit, im black."

That dude is off the hook lol. He is perpetually trapped inside of the Chappelles show skit "When keeping it real wrong". No one will care because when you "Get him on the court and he's trouble, Last week fucked around and got a triple double, Freaking niggaz everyway like M.J."

True Story. BRB, listening to Icecube.

I wanted to say, option number three, attention seeking whore. But he didn't intended to be tapped on that, so that theory goes out the window.

Anyway, while I understand what he is TRYING to do and say, it still makes no sense what so ever. It isn't as if the song says anything about black people and their freedom. I'm black and I love the fucking song. Race has nothing to do with it, but there hasn't been enough controversy surrounded by race this week so some topic had to be started.

When you watch the video he doesn't really seem any different than any of the other 20 people that the guy holding the camera points at. It won't win him many sponsor points, but sure freedom of speech whatever, if he doesn't care about the national anthem, feels that america doesn't care about black people (ironic considering he's making millions and millions of dollars because Americans adore watching him) then that's his call.

[Mizango]

Nothing says "Fuck whitey" like depositing his check, buying his mansions and fucking as many white girls as humanly possible.

Fight the power my brother, a noble cause indeed.

[Ninjadik]

The first thing that came to my mind wasn't race. It was whether he was just that stupid to show so much disrespect. I am sure there are many black people that are proud to be Americans that would never say that shit. I don't know, he's making millions but his logic astounds me.

[Brill Weave]

He's a fucking retard. I can only hope he blows out his knee and ends his career. Then he gets caught up in an extacy drug running ring funded by Sammy the Bull Gravano from inside his Arizona prison cell, all the while Howard is continuing to run his mouth off about smoking up in the offseason until one day he smokes some tainted weed and he starts hallucinating and leads police on a high speed chase through a children's playground that culminates with him dancing on the merry go round singing I'm an oscar meyer weiner while attempting to propose to Leon Lett via satellite but accidentally getting Joan Rivers on the other end whose plastic face manages to melt right in front of Josh Howard finally scaring him straight which will cause him to completely retire from basketball altogether and become a youth pastor whose mentor is MC Hammer. The end.

What?

[archibaldcrane]

The first thing that came to my mind wasn't race. It was whether he was just that stupid to show so much disrespect.

I mean, sure, it's "disrespectful" to not go through the motions during the national anthem, and say "i don't do that shit, I'm black" or whatever he says there, but it's not like he went on some "fuck america" rant.

Like I said, he blends right in with every other person in that video - the only reason why what he says is such a big deal is that he's an NBA player.

Doesn't concern me.

[Akiyama]

An idiiot.

[Bratt]

J-Ho is an idiot lol. I can't wait for the season to start so this can be a distraction to Dallas all season and we can watch them go down the drain again. He's got the right to say anything he wants but a lot of things are better left unsaid. Are there any Dallas fans around that can comment, I'm curious to know how this is playing out up there.

To the OP, I always thought the dumbest thing he did was have that birthday party during the Playoffs and act like it was no big deal while helping AJ get fired lol, Cuban really should've let him go and keep the coach.

[Brill Weave]

I say we light him on fire, load him into a cannon, and shoot him at AV. Someone fire up my Abduction Machine!(which looks very much like a Dodge Conversion van, strangely enough.)

[Arvin]

josh howard is the only mavericks player I can respect at all for his ability to play and how honest he is, lol. besides that, the mavericks are the biggest piece of shit team.
