Williams is an idiot. I'd can him too if he said something that stupid. The sponsors don't need the fricking headache.

No one watches MNF to hear Hank Williams.

I watch the beginning of Monday Night Football to hear the song. But really I'm just there for the football.

"are you ready for some football" is part of the brand, it's part of an identity that they have lost. The mention of that phrase is synonymous not only with MNF but with the NFL. This is no sweat off my back, I only watch when the saints play...and I really hate hitler comparisons...however, I often compare my teacher's classroom behavior with that of the gestapo, so I'm just a fricking hypocrite like everyone else

*Newsflash* Hank Williams Jr. isn't the only person on the planet who can perform that song.

interesting question...who owns the rights?
Posted on 10/4/11 at 12:36 am to DelU249
Not sure. Think they asked him to write it for the MNF theme so ABC probably owns it.
Posted on 10/4/11 at 12:43 am to saintsfan22
I think he reworked the lyrics to one of his songs for abc, so it's the same music just different words. Anyway, ESPN won't bring the song back

If you can seriously live with someone calling the president of the united states worse than hitler, you are no more American than hitler was.. Jesus Christ..

The media is butt hurt because Hank gave a shout out to Herman Cain in that interview
Regardless of how we feel about Obama or Cain or President X, you just can't say ignorant things like this and expect the people who pay you--that depend heavily on advertising dollars--to just let that fly.
Although, I don't think that Hank is all that broken up about it.

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.
Yeah, because that's the analogy he was making.

Adolf Hitler was more than just a genocidal maniac.

I'm sure ESPN would have acted the same way if one of their employees compared George Bush to a monkey.

If a person can really post...
...you are as wrongfully judgemental as the person you are excoriating.

he did not compare Hitler to Obama, he said Obama and Boehner playing golf made as much sense as Hitler and Netenhayou playing golf, polar opposites, nothing in common, not even from the same time period, oh, but the truth isn't important here.
Heil ESPN.. . good job comrades, socialism wins!
