John Howard makes fun of the national anthem
Unfortunately you gotta click on the link to watch it.
Are they making too big of a deal of this? Maybe Josh Howard should play basketball in some other country. I do agree with the second Winston-Salem resident's comments though, heh."Always look at the bright side of life"

So, what would YOU like to see as the Anthem? Keep the one we have or go for something better? I think a song people can relate to and belt would hold greater meaning.
I'll start with two suggestions:
This Land is Your Land (my fave)
America the Beautiful"The eagle never lost so much time as when he consented to learn of the crow."

I think the Star Spangled Banner is great, and I do feel like he does a great disservice to all black people by making these comments.
If I were to say I don't celebrate this #$@%, I'm mormon. It would make Mormons look bad (worse? :) ). So although I had never heard of him before now, I do think less of him.
As far as changing the national anthem, I would be all in favor of changing America the Beautiful. That is a great hymn.
"O beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!"

Some sort of "ball," I imagine..."The eagle never lost so much time as when he consented to learn of the crow."

If he did what you said he did, we should go to war with Australia.

Problem is as soon as he makes a basket the fans will forget it ever happened. No one has the balls to say it's just a freakin game and it won't kill me to make a stand and say I'm not coming to watch that asshole play. I don't know about Hockey players but hockey fans in Canada can be assholes too.

But still...it's like saying, would you like to eat the small dog poo or the big one. I'd take the small one if I had no choice but to pick one, but it's still poop!
