Hank Williams, Jr., the voice famous for asking millions of football fans whether they’re ready for some football, has been pulled from tonight’s broadcast of “Monday Night Football” over a comment he made on Fox News this morning.
Williams, who sings the lead-in song to the game each week, criticized the president for his golf summit with House Speaker John Boehner this summer.
“It would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu,” Williams told “Fox & Friends.”
USA Today, among others, picked up the quote, speculating on whether the comparison would get Williams booted from the broadcast .

Well, I don’t even watch stupid football stuff, but now I am not going to watch it on Monday Night ON PURPOSE!!!
the left control the media, the left are organized much more than us about who and what they ant on the air.
Maybe it is time for us freepers and other sites to join up and send out mass mail to elected official and media outlets when we see them not covering such issues like obama with the black panthers in 07 or fast and furious, green energy scam companies etc

The whole segment. We’ll miss him.
Now he knows how Rush feels.
Yep ESPN had no issue with Mike Tyson saying those deplorable things about Sarah Palin..ESPN = HYPOCRITES
with some people, the harder you try to bang 'em into a round hole, the squarer they become.

Hitler didn’t need a teleprompter.
THAT needs to be posted at ESPN.
Comments to ESPN:

Here’s mine:
Hank Williams has his opinion, and it just happens to be based on facts, at least when it comes to wanting to control the individual lives of citizens. Didn’t Obama say his base needs “to go to war” with conservatives?
He’s a self-admitted socialist. Here is a clue: NAZI is short for “National Socialists”.
And just look at who he has surrounded himself with: A bunch of radical socialists, including real terrorists who murdered law enforcement officers and preach violence against the United States.
So must a network that bows to PC. We've watched out last MNF game.
Knew that was coming.
I yanked ESPN a long time ago. I have no use for those liberal pc pantywaists.
It wasn’t a good analogy but it doesn’t matter. ESPN’s Monday night games are terrible. Worst decision ever was giving ESPN the right to broadcast football games.
I seem to recall recent comments by Mr. San Francisco, that were WAYYY out of line about the TEA party and conservatives. Think they will ban the playing of “I left my heart”? From promos about a SF v whomever game?
Hank No Sing Me NO Watch. God Bless this Free Country.
Letterman, too.
Comments are still flowing in.
Now, the only thing that is utterly, obviously different here is how incredibly quickly DisneyABCESPN pulled said plug. Yeah, that would have happened on the same day back in 2005. Riiiiiiiight.
Since ESPN has gone Clymer over this, Fox should have him on a regular basis as a Fox News Contributor.
