Meh. It’s quite possible she’s just avoiding being canceled. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

IIRC, that happened because the Bullets’ owner got butthurt about gun violence, doubly so because DC was / is one of the most dangerous cities in the country despite highly restricted gun ownership.

That was his choice and not external pressure though.

At some point the cowards are enabling the enemy. I still haven't forgiven Drew Brees, even though I know he lied to appease the idiots.

Not sure. Probably not but I wouldn’t put it past people to piss and moan about perceived gun imagery. Even in a song about having sex unrelated to actual guns.

Thank goodness... maybe they will stop playing it on the radio too...

But,,, I carry everyday and have been for over 10 years... I haven't shot anyone and am I starting to get depressed. Is something wrong with my gun?

She could just sing “hit me with a wet sock” instead

Well, she's still more talented than any of the new chicks singing now.

Are people still actually listening to her sing? If I want to hear hit me with your best shot, I'll just pull up one of the thousands of videos from yt to listen to it. I won't be relying on her singing it here in the present.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot is a great song to play on guitar.

Great riff.

Well, all I can say is back in the day when that song was popular never once did I hear it and think of people literally shooting guns at someone else. I don’t suspect I’m alone in that respect.

Another victory for Wokeness.

Yay “progress”. smh.

After all the notches she put in her lipstick case? She thinks that all will just be ok now? I don't think so.

So she is announcing she isn't going to sing her only good song, bold strategy.

The Stones have stopped performing “Brown Sugar”, because…racism!
