Do Not Believe Him!

He’s a liar, a punk and a hood rat. He sees endorsement dollars going down the tubes so he’s sucking up.

Well, I’m sorry Mr. Howard.

Too little, too late.

Howard is sorry about what his ill-considered remarks have done to his endorsements and bank account.

He’s sorry he got caught. However, I think he revealed a lot with his inappropriate comments. We know what Obama supporters think of this country.

Eff him. One gets one chance in life to make a real difference, and that is when one's character is judged.

Obama knows this will hurt him. Obama probaly called Howard and said, Just wait until after Nov.4th and you can diss that anthem all you want.

Too little - Too Late - Too Fake

He has finally seen the light...that his endorsement deals will go away due to this enlightening video...and he's freaked.

Bummer for him. NOT!

In a few years, scum like this will be flipping burgers. NBA Nielsen Ratings:

While the 2007 NBA Finals featured LeBron James making his first appearance, according to ESPN, the 2007 NBA Finals series was a television bust in the United States.

I read the article and he seems sincere in his understanding that he acted like a ass.

He's young and immature.

What really matters is what he does he the future.

4$$. I don’t care what kind of joke he thought it was, but that is NEVER joking material.

Part of an apology is making amends. Saying you have friends in the military is not cuting it. Instead of just putting you hand over your heart, why don’t you sing the anthem, if you know the words? Why don’t you encourage your buds to sing along with you?

You are assuming he wrote it instead of his agent or someone else feeding off a suddenly diminished gravy train. Waaaaaay too late for sincerity.

I'm not going to hit the abuse button on that one.

It's a clear case of "temporary profanity”.
