No one seemed to mind when famous people made terrible comments about George W. Bush. Our divider-in-chief should tell ESPN that people have the freedom to express their feelings in this country. Obama's job creation count is MINUS one more.

And the liberal schmucks at ESPN have the freedom to yank Hank's "Are you ready for some football?!" opening for whatever reason they choose. There was no first amendment violation here. ...which should be obvious.

Notice they said they were pulling the intro “for tonight’s game”.

Let’s see if it isn’t back in the near future.

I’m sure they were just itching to find a reason to remove that garbage, after 20 years, I think people were getting tired of it.

“We are extremely disappointed with his comments”

I’m not. I’m proud of him.

I’m also beginning to see how PC and panty-waist the NFL is. Gutless and directionless.

Well he may have been compared Bambi to Netanyahu, or not comparing him to anyone at all. So long MNF - who needs it?

Our house wrote to ESPN to complain.

Bush was called everything under the sun including Hitler, and Chimpy (with photos to match).

This censorship of what we can say about this idiot president is indicative of a country under a dictatorial rule.

Now we know why Maxine Waters asked for permission to speak against Obama!

Yeah, I far preferred the pre-game MNF music back when Frank, Howard, and Dandy Don were calling the games. I have no quarrel with Hank personally, but that particular tune of his is very lame.

This has back-fired on ESPN!

More folks are aware of it than if they would have broadcasted the show and cut the Nazi comment.

Thank you Hank for telling it like it is!

Maybe I’m splitting hairs, but Williams did NOT call Barry “Hitler”. If they wanted to fire Williams for airing his conservative views, they’d be within their rights. But they didn’t do that, did they? They fired Williams instead for something he DIDN’T say, rather than defend themselves for firing him for something he DID say. FWIW, ESPN and the National Felons League can go straight to Hades. I won’t watch either anymore.
