It's time for Hank Williams Jr. to get off of Monday Night Football

[peoli]

Hank Williams Jr. the voice of Monday Night Football and proud supporter of John McCain and Sarah Palin in the 2008 Presidential elections, questioned President Obama's patriotism...

"You know, I'm usually at 'Monday Night Football' tonight, but Colorado, this is a lot more important tonight," Williams, Jr. said. "Join me now in our national--you know, that song that, uh, Mr. Obama's not real crazy about, we're singing it right now."

" The Friends of America Rally is a pro-coal, pro-conservative, anti-Obama and anti-cap-and-trade legislation "tea party" arranged by Massey Energy."

I don't ever want to hear "Are you ready for some footbaaaaaall!" coming from his face again knowing what a hater and distorter of my Presidents views he is.

If you want this right wing douche off MNF then lets write and call the Commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell.

Lets make this Hank Williams Jr.'s last year on MNF and tell Roger Goodell you don't want your beautiful football tainted by this mans politically motivated hatred of our President.

And lets make sure that Roger Goodell isn't influenced himself by politics. Who is Roger Goodell married to? None other than....

Good ol Jane Skinner.

Tell Goodell that Hank Williams Jr.s hatred of Obama interferes with your enjoyment of Monday Night Football.

The owner of the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers campaigned for Obama

Dan Rooney went against the unwritten rule that sports owners remain politically neutral -- Art Sr. often reminded employees that Steelers fans were both Democrats and Republicans -- and endorsed Mr. Obama publicly in April. In his formal letter of endorsement, Mr. Rooney said that Mr. Obama "has inspired me and so many other people around our country with new ideas and fresh perspectives" and said one reason for his support was how so many young people around the country were excited about his campaign.

"True sports fans know that you support your team even when they are underdogs," Mr. Rooney wrote. "Barack Obama is the underdog here but it is with great pride that I join his team."

In return Dan Rooney has become the US Ambassador of Ireland.

1. I agree, he's a f***ing idiot. nt

[roguevalley]

14. he's a rednecked dumbass. his daddy drank too much and produced

this nitwit. he's been sponging off Hank's rep his whole life. I loathe this dimwit's music.

[FreedomTrain]

17. He's made some great music

And he's a very talented musician. I don't think there's an instrument he can't play.

His politics are another matter completely, but I try to look past that. Destroying his CDs like the Repubs did with the Dixie Chicks would be about as dimwitted as you could get.

[mix]

20. His son, though, is the real deal, Hank III. nt

[firedupdem]

2. K&R!

My husband mentioned this earlier today. Thanks for the info and I will definitely call.

:fistbump:

[qazplm]

3. why?

He's an idiot sure. But this is the exact same mentality that resulted in Van Jones being "resigned." Don't like someone's politics so they should be fired. He sings a stupid song at the beginning of MNF. Who cares?

[peoli]

5. He is a MNF Icon, the face of it. Van Jones was not.

4. how timely - apparently this just happened at the Tennessee fairgrounds

7. Can we get an email address?

I'd like to send an email complaint rather than making a phone call.

Jr. has to GO.

10. The NFL or ESPN?

Isn't that more of an ESPN decision? (Although obviously the NFL could shut him down if they wanted to.)

[Clio the Leo]

13. Yep, it's working with Beck. NT

[Amos Moses]

15. He deserves to be Dixie Chicked.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

16. kick

this no-talent, fat drunk has declared war on my home state of W.Va. by coming in to rally for mountaintop removal and against unions on labor day- so I'm all in for an anti-Hank campaign

[jules1962]

18. I just sent my email to Goodell

I asked him to take Willaims Jr. off Monday night football. Told him that he impairs my enjoyment of the game.

[Canuckistanian]

22. Really?

Anyone who supports garbage like that deserves all they get.

[tomm2thumbs]

19. southern trash needs to be taken out once a week - why did they leave this one on the curb

[peoli]

21. Hey lookie! Goodell is taking questions on NFL.com tomorrow. Here is the link.

Ask him!
