Daily Dose: Sept. 17 - Somethin' out of nothin'....

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

another case of it popped up when this video & story broke - where Dallas Mavericks player Josh Howard told a cameraphone that he doesn't celebrate the national anthem because he's black.

This naturally led to the Mavericks and owner Mark Cuban "addressing the situation" blah blah blah.

For crissakes - who cares? There are plenty of people, of all ethnicities, that have issues with the American government. So what? I've seen people leave their hats on at games or not stand up during the anthem. So?

The guy wasn't at an NBA-sanctioned event, he wasn't representing the Dallas Mavericks...he was playing flag football somewhere. Just another case of somebody making a whole lot of somethin' out a helluva lot of nothin.'
