Josh Howard at it again.

why is this a big deal? there are people saying the same thing all over the country, they just don't have a camera in their faces

This is a big deal because of the fact that he was at a charity event in front of kids who look up to his dumb as$ and while the national anthem is going on him and the other idiots are cutting a fool right in front of those kids and parents. This is not acceptable behavior to disrespect the country that you live in. What if he is picked to be an olympian representing America in the world games. Is he going to not pay respect when they play the anthem then. And you made the point about the camera in his face, well duh, yeah it is a big deal, especially with the camera in your face, know is idiocracy is forever documented and available for replay any time. I got a suggestion, why don't we ship his dumba$$ to Iraq where we have our boys dying over there for that anthem, and then he will beg to come back to this great country and probably even throw in a little dance to go with his singing of The National Anthem.
