The battered reputation of Josh Howard took another hit this week when an online video surfaced showing the Dallas Mavericks forward disrespecting the national anthem.

In a video posted on YouTube, Howard is shown on a football field at a charity flag football game. As the national anthem plays in the background, Howard approaches a camera and says: "'The Star Spangled Banner' is going on right now. I don't even celebrate that (expletive). I'm black."

HOWARD: Star Spangled Banner is going on right now. I don't even celebrate that (bleep) because I'm black. God (bleep) national anthem.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Obama. '08.

HOWARD: Obama and all that (bleep).

What he said he was, "Star-Spangled Banner is going on right now, I don't celebrate that bleep because I'm black. God bleep national anthem." And then the unidentified male voice at the end of the call says, "Obama '08," and Howard says, "Obama and all that blank."
