For the second time since 2011, ESPN is reportedly removing Hank Williams Jr. from its Monday Night Football intro.
This time, the network claims its not about Williams controversial points of view, according to Sports Business Journal.

Id they ever hear a certain song of his from 1988, their heads will explode.
Wait, ESPN still exists.../s
A Country Boy Can Survive...
Probably replace him with that country singer that came out in favor of BLM
Why don’t they just play Red China’s national anthem? Oh, and FU espn.
Hank’s great song: IF THE SOUTH WOULD HAVE WON WE WOULD HAVE IT MADE.
WTH?
Reports have said he had already ditched them!
Political correctness is for brain dead fools!
I read the article. Yahoo sports is for stupid people.
They insinuated the “best” opinions to have. The “approved opinions.”
Go suck an egg, yahoo.
Believe it is “If the South Would Have Won”.

Oh, by all means go with a rap-based theme as the intro. Where N-words abound and they talk about their women so respectfully ... why, it’s just like a day in the life of the jerks on the field.
Isn’t this a few years old?
That’s the one.
He was removed one time, then put back.
There should have just kept the original instrumental intro music.
And there it is folks. He criticized "The One."
The Left does MUCH, MUCH worse to President Trump every single day (to include calling for his murder and the murder of his family), and nothing is ever done to them.
That’s what I read last week- IMO espn is trying to save it street crew with a certain element of “society”.
ESPN is Disney
