Mark Cuban y la polémica de Josh Howard

Otra vez el blog de Mark Cuban. Abajo incluyo una entrada (en inglés) que Cuban decidió borrar después de haber conseguido lo que quería...

Todo tiene como origen la polémica (se pueden ver en YouTube toda una retahíla de comentarios de la gente sobre el tema) creada por el vídeo (censurado, como suele pasar en estos casos, aunque se puede ver en alguno de los vídeos anteriores) en el que Josh Howard se mofó de su país. Después, por supuesto, el jugador se disculpó (el que lo hiciese porque realmente lo sentía o no es algo que nada más que él lo sabe).

Lo que habrá que esperar es a ver el recibimiento del que es objeto el jugador cada vez que salte a una cancha y, luego, lo que tendrán que decir las "mentes pensantes" sobre el tema.

Ésta es la entrada borrada de su blog por Mark Cuban:

I wanted to thank all of you who took the time to email me with your comments on how best to deal with Josh. They were so good, I thought I would share a few of them with everyone. Including the email addresses of those who were bold enough to use real email addresses.

Josh realizes his comments were wrong, he understands why people are upset. He knows he has made a mistake, has apologized and will work with us . Beyond that, its a private issue.

What about the people who gave me the following advice ?

Hey Mark, I’ve always loved the way you ran your team and respected a large amount of your opinions.  Regardless, I have to stop supporting the Mavs.  Why?  Because I don’t support POS, America-bashing people like Josh Howard.  Tell that spoiled pansy that his lifestyle is only made possible by the marvelous experiment that is America, and to take his bs to Russia if he’s going to talk down our national anthem.  Until he’s off the team, you guys are off the TV.

Sir,
How dare you defend this Josh Howard piece of shit. After his disrespect, at the very least, you should have transferred his ass to the Euro league. He doesnt like America? Well screw him. Ive been around the world, defending America. Hell, I havent even had the opportunity to live in my own country since 1995. I can assure you many people, with IQs higher than a shoe lace, would gladly trade places with this ingrate punk. As long as you protect him and make excuses for him you carry equal guilt. I would immediately have any person in my employ fired and have his security clearance yanked for expressing such an opinion. I could retire on 1/20th of this assholes salary, and all he does is play ball and trash the country which provides him the opportunity to make such a living. Send him to REALITY, where he should be; bagging groceries and/or in prison.

Mr. Cuban,
Just saw your nigger Josh Howard  disresepct the national anthem because he is black. According to the news you say he is a really great guy. Of course he is because he makes you lots of money you greedy bastard.
You would rather sell out your own country that my dead father fought for in WW II than than lose a buck by firing this black bastard.
You are nothing more than a nigger slave owner milking him for all his black ass can get you.
YOU, SIR IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY. YOU AND THAT NIGGER YOU CALL NICE.
There’s lots of black dick on that team, get busy. White power is coming back because of race traitors like you.
Know what you get when you cross a nigger and a white nigger lover ? a  WHIGGER. THAT IS YOU !!!!
Mark WHIGGER Cuban. A White storm is brewing Mr. Cuban, you and those niggers like you better evacuate.

“I don’t even celebrate that shit. I’m black.”
You & Howard…two peas in a pod.
Don’t think we’ve forgotten about that Brian De Palma anti-military propaganda film, “Redacted”, that you produced, Cuban
Ya might tell Howard the next time you talk to him,  that if not for America, he’d probably be be throwing spears in Africa someplace instead of free-throws.

Mark,
I WILL NOT attend any Mavericks games as long as that criminal Josh Howard is
part of the team. Send him to Indiana to be with his fellow criminals. The youtube
video really exposes him for what he is.

Mark,

It is unbelievable to me the level of ignorance and prejudice that your player has towards our country and other “non black” people. As if the NBA did not have enough to worry about, your employee spouts off his racist mouth about his hatred of the star spangled banner. He owes the entire nation an apology, or do you not promote that to your children.?
I will never support or watch the NBA again because I feel his attitude is more the norm in the NBA. It just goes to show you that you can have money and fame and still be an ignorant pig of the country that provided it all to you.

Feel free to have that punk, or you, respond to me whenever you want.

So here’s a question or two for you, Mr. Cuban, in regards to this quote from one of your players:
“‘The Star Spangled Banner’ is going on right now. I don’t even celebrate that (expletive). I’m black.” - Josh Howard
1) What does being black have to do with Honoring the playing of the national anthem? He wasn’t a slave, and he has EVERYTHING this country is about to thank for his freedom *AND* his wealth, which you and the other idiots running sports teams pay him (and other idiot athletes).
2) Are you going to do the RIGHT thing and punish him monetarily for this? Or are you going to sit there on your hands and be a pansy about it?

Subject: Re: Get over yourself
My fellow patriots and I aren’t the ones who made it about race: “I ain’t about that ‘National Anthem’ shit, I’m black…mumble mumble something something Obama mumble Obama, etc., etc.)Howard, and Jeremiah Wright, and Ludacris(and white leftist scum like you and “Father” Michael Pflager), Jay-Z, Kanye West, Tupac Shakur, Malik Zulu Shabazz, Louis Farrakhan, Malcolm X, B. Hussein Obama with his refusing to place his hand over his heart during the Anthem and refusing to wear a flag lapel pin until he was backed into a corner over it, all the while saying things like “typical white people” and “white foilks’ greed runs a world in need”(if a white politician said the equivalent, he’d be utterly ruined by now, and you know it; it has happened over and over again in our P.C., double-standard dystopia), et. al.,–you people are the ones who make it about color instead of focusing on character.
I judge a person by the content of their character.  So many of those multi-millionaire black athletes, and millions upon millions of blacks in the United States, absolutely, sullenly, spitefully, violently REFUSE to develop their character and act like civilized citizens of the country that was the first society on the planet to undergo a nation-rending civil war(600,000 white men dead, untold more wounded to free the slaves) and a reckoning of self-examination in order to bring about the end of slavery and the Jim Crow era in this hemisphere(even as it was, and still IS being practiced in Africa and elsewhere in the world!).  Blacks Muslim pirates operating out of the Barbary Coast captured and enslaved hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of whites in the late 1770’s-early 1800’s, yet blacks act as if America was/is the only oppressor in the history of the world, rather than the very hand that delivered them from the culture of conquest, from their own cousins on the Ivory Coast, which sold them to slavers in the first place.
After generations of anti-white attacks and rampaging riots and a rape/murder rate 7 times that of whites, after decades of robberies and thuggery and drug dealing, with a black-on-white crime rate that is so egregiously multiplied over the negligible white-on-black rate, blacks owe reparations to whites far more than any that whites owe blacks.
You’re obviously a Mike Nifong.
I know and know of many blacks that are indeed patriotic and intelligent and kind people, but my experiences with and observations of far, far too many others–MOST young black men and women in urban areas, in fact–mandate that I talk straight about a glaring and absolutely unacceptable situation that white liberals like you have helped bring about and exacerbate with your failed, train-wreck socialistic programs that destroy families and promote promiscuity, irresponsibility, fatherlessness, and dependence on government largesse and the race-grievance industry.
I’m fed up with white liberals like you who refuse to acknowledge the abject depravity and pathological, willful failure of black culture, and instead enable and perpetuate it as you excuse and defend it, all the while attacking honest whites who dare protest as you call us “racists.”  Go ahead, call me a racist, I don’t care; as long as the majority of a given race refuses to attend school and drink the water of education to which they’ve been led–on MY excessive and wasted tax dollars–and instead bite the hand that feeds them as they stab the teachers and rape and steal and deal drugs and glorify murder as a rite of adolescent passage in homage to their rap music heroes, harassing and accusing their studious peers of “acting white”–as long as the plurality and bulk of that pathetic race ACTS inferior, I will certainly be justified in considering them inferior.  Remove the absurdly high correlation(can it be done?  I really do wonder, as no black society anywhere on Earth has anything resembling an advanced character) between skin color and abject criminality, between melanin and anti-American hostility, and I will consider them worthy citizens of MY country, that I love, that I fought for and continue to fight for.
Otherwise, shove your anti-white hatred up your ass, and shove your animalistic “African-American” ANTI-American “athletes” up your ass while you’re at it.  Osama bin Laden is really tall, too; I bet he could’ve slam-dunked JUST like those disrespectful America-hating black criminals if he’d been chased after by scouts and coddled and given a bunch of bling back in the day, too!
…and I didn’t even resort to using the word that they hurl at each other and everyone else more often than they use the word “the.”

Josh Howard is an ungrateful dumbass. He smokes pot every day, play basketball in front of millions of people and gets paid millions of dollars and then has the BALLS to effectively say “screw the US, I’m black. I’ve been oppressed and, oh, by the way…vote for Obama”. If you don’t see the disconnect in that statement then you’re a moron as well. If he’s so frickin miserable, then he should move back to his native Africa and live in a mud hut with Obama’s half brother for a year or so on a dollar a month. Then we’ll see how he really feels about this rotten oppressive country where he’s being so unfairly held back from reaching his full potential as a miserable black man.

Screw the Mavericks. They’re perennial losers like Howard…and Cuban cultivated the losers by overindulging the prima donnas.
And one more thing, checking out the cheerleaders during the National Anthem IS American. Homely women always complain about us doing it.

Dear Mark
I am appalled at the disgraceful, immature and absolute idiotic behavior of Josh Howard.
Once again, it proves the NBA is littered with thugs and idiots!
You must do what is right for we Dallas Fans, the great State of Texas and the USA and fire that moron.  It does not matter how talented he is.  His is a piece of shit who is asking to be fired.
If he were white, he would long been given a pink slip.  Treat ALL Americans the same.
FIRE HIM!

Very simple email regarding Josh Howard and his recent actions.

Please put your left hand in your left pants pocket and move it to the right………feel anything?  If so, take a stand and do something. Otherwise it’s very obvious what you’re feeling and what you’re made of.
You may have a Basketball team but do you really have any balls?

I will be anxious to see what type of action or non action you take.
Thanks,
