Im not against minority's because right now Herman Cain or Bobby Jindal ( if he would damn run) would get my vote. But its just crazy how most of the media protect obama. The worst is during NBA playoffs were he's always in a promo holding a basketball. Just because hes black doesnt mean he can ball, let me see this uncordinated frick try to even bang home a free throw first plz.

He does have free speech. That does't mean there aren't consequences when you say stupid things. People who endorse big money products (MNF) and are in the public eye can't just repeat every FOX cliche they've been programmed to regurgitate, even on FOX which is certainly ironic.

Sry i forget about the half black thing because he played the full black card so much during the election. lol And all he's proven to do is take a record amount of vacations and tax me for 40% of my damn income!

This. Doubt the people crying over free speech this time were saying the same when Rashard Mendenhall was tweeting about Bin Laden.

so it's not just that Obama is comparable to Hitler, but he's worse than him?

and it's just a business decision for ESPN...they would rather get rid of that piece of shite song than take the heat from viewers. has nothing to do with freedom of speech

I'm always amazed at the people who fail to understand the concept of free speech. It means that speech is not a crime. It doesn't prohibit any individual or employer from using their right to react to the speech.

My employee has the freedom to cuss me out; I have the freedom to fire him for that.

what hank said was stupid but god damn. No one who watches the telecast cares about his political views, they just want to hear "are you ready for some football"


really slimy job by ESPN here. They wanted to can the guy anyway, and if that's the case...go for it. But to cave to any kind of public pressure (I'm sure it was alot :rollleyes:) makes them look like corporate chickenshits, which they are. Like MNF was going to lose ratings for sticking with hank...jesus, you put tony fricking kornheiser out there and it didn't sink the show.
