Hank Williams intro pulled from MNF because of Obama comments

I finally saw the original clip from the Fox show (Fox and Friends?). What struck me the most other than Hank's comments was the reaction of the three hosts. They were visibly taken aback and you can see the Fox' hosts eyebrows raising and the fact that they were extremely unconfortable.

I don't watch Fox, but from many of the comments here from the usual tools you would have expected the hosts to give Hank a standing ovation and offer him Glenn Becks slot.

that happened about 5 hours before you posted.

apparently hank tweeted that ESPN was stepping on his first amendment rights.

i suggest to hank that if he wants to run for senate he sit down and take the time to understand what the constitution actually says.
 
So, speculation on what shitty performer/band they get to do a new MNF intro?

If it's Kid Rock or BEP I'm turning off the TV. Not muting. Turning it off.

They shouldn't replace it, just have kickoff that much earlier! Why should I have to wait an extra :30 seconds for my MNF fix!

Of course that is unrealistic, I am sure it will be 60 seconds of overly contrived flashy bullshit that can cause a seizure for the extra sensitive.
 
hank screwed up. no big deal though. its not like he needs the money or football will suck without it.

to compare (yes spidey that is what he did) the President to hitler is not a good idea

LMAO, Hank Williams blames the Fox and Friends show and ESPN for making him look bad ("Gotcha" LOLOL) in a new song:

Can we just fucking nuke every single red state and get these idiots out of our gene pool?

Hank found out the hard way that there's no such thing as freedom when you're a figure associated a corporation. But why is Hank blaming the "socialists" when its the "capitalist corporations" that canned him?

Agreed. I don't think he meant to do that, but effectively that's what he did. No public figure should ever use Hitler in the same sentence as any President - unless it's a sentence saying not to ever use Hitler in the same sentence as any President. Otherwise hijinks will ensue.
 
He is now writing a song about the whole experience.

He is even giving a special shout out to the Obama Opposers on these very forums!! Keep it up guys! You got your song, a face full of rich man's grundle and soon enough, you can be somebody's foot stool!! Or maybe, just maybe their dog walker!!!
