All my Rowdy friends are coming over tonight

Just found out why this was dropped!

ESPN decided to pull its Monday Night Football introduction after singer Hank Williams, Jr. made comments comparing President Obama to Hitler. A statement put out by the network read:

"While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight's telecast."

Early in the song, he says the U.S. is "going down the drain" and says it's becoming "The United Socialist States of America." He then encourages viewers not to watch Fox & Friends or ESPN.

Williams' comments last Monday drew unlikely reactions with many commentators and comedians coming to his defense, claiming ESPN was infringing on his right to free speech. His defenders included the left-leaning Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar of The View and Jon Stewart of The Daily Show and on the other side of the political landscape Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh.

The brouhaha prompted Williams also to start selling "Hank Jr. for President" T-shirts on his website.

There was not one thing wrong that he said, it was a comparson, thats all. Then they take what he said and twist it around, I believe it had reference to golf Obama playing golf with republican leader. The last time I checked we are suppose to have the freedom to speak.
