He compared Obama to Hitler and I guess he seemed under some kind of "influence" during an interview.

It's because he bashed Obama...what a joke. Free speech my arse.

I don't care about the song but the reason is BS. (He compared our Dear Leader to Hitler)

yes it's a bullshite reason, unless you are trying to make money. I see this in one of two ways. ESPN (which I do not like) is politically in the can for Obama, which makes this a cowardly decision to limit free speech; or, ESPN (which I still do no like) does not like the controversy that this may bring, so they are doing this to avoid audience and sponsor backlash. If this is the case, then I support their decision. They are a business and have to be concerned with that first and foremost.

It's very obvious it's this. Just ask TO and Nicolette Sheridan.

i don't think you understand the concept

Yeah it's always VERY obvious come March Madness. Stuff pisses me off. Seeing him get 30min to an hour of play time on ESPN just to explain his final four gets to me for some reason.

which is one of the many reasons why I do not watch ESPN. I tune in for the Monday Night Games and the NFL show that comes on during the week (only if nothing better is on NFL Network). ESPN is TMZ journalism for the sporting world

I vaguely remember this. Didn't they do a racy ad or something? Remind me of what happened as a result; I can't recall

Result was media hysteria, complaints to the FCC, etc.

Hank Williams Jr. still has the right to free speech. ESPN has no legal or ethical obligation to cater to his piece of shite mouth.
He analogized Obama to Hitler. Oh really? Hitler rounded up, tortured, and killed 6 million Jews under a dictatorship. Williams is too fricking stupid to understand that this is neither a dictatorship nor has Obama killed 6 million political enemies.
Thank you, ESPN, for removing that rancid turd from Monday Night Football.

At least Hitler never threw America under the bus.

The media is butt hurt because Hank gave a shout out to Herman Cain in that interview
