Who didn’t see THAT coming?
Shut up and sing—isn’t that the mantra?
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.
Jr should sue espn just to showcase the pc idiocy for all to see.
Did anyone see what they replaced Hank with?
Notice they said they were pulling the intro “for tonight’s game”.
Let’s see if it isn’t back in the near future.
“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?
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!
.... they'll hound this poor man out of his NFL opening song over this .... @ 15
.
This from a network that used to employ Keith Olberman???
In other news, the rumor is Madonna will be sanctioned to be the halftime performer at the Super Bowl. She called Palin a “bitch” and during a concert tour had a video which quickly juxtaposed pictures of Bush, Hitler, and Mugabe. The inference was clear Bush=Hitler.
Yeah NFL, really that’s what I look forward to seeing on Super Bowl Sunday- Madonna singing “I touch myself” or “like a virgin” before a nationwide audience.
I’m done with ESPN.
Maybe they should just show the freaking game sans all the song-and-dance routines, animated robots, inane sideline reporterettes, and gauzy sob stories about the 350lb nosetackle's sick kitten. NFL football can surely hold its own as entertainment without all the BS. Between that list of crap and the number of ED commercials, it's getting hard to watch.
Hank Williams Jr. pointed out that Obama and Biden are as poles apart from the mentioned Republicans as Adolf Hitler would have been from the Prime Minister of Israel.
It is bias that the media is accusing Williams of comparing Obama to Hitler.
The media is out creating news, again.
Oh, wait!
Oil is Black, Obamah is 1/2 Black. ...racist comment.
Sorry, moving along.
Eff ESPN and all who bow to politically correct nonsense. I would confidently wager that pulling Williams cost many more viewers than leaving him on would have. His comments were actually pretty innocuous, but I wonder whom he had in mind as the third stooge: Holder, Napolitano, Geitner, Sibelius, or Hillary? So many to choose from!
He most certainly did not! Read the transcript or watch the clip, ESPN.
Sounds like a move concocted by the intelligence of the officiating corps... That fluffy bunch on MNF are about as puss-filled as Zero, anyway. NFL football sucks!
heh, heh....building an American folk hero...and needed at this time...
Semper Watching!
