HANK WILLIAMS JR.
Are You Ready For Some Football.
Are you ready for some unemployment?
Hank Williams Jr. might be.
Hank have foot, Hank insert foot into mouth.
You might say Hank Williams Jr. had his Al Campanis moment.
ESPN ripped the country legend’s Are You Ready For Some Football anthem off the air Monday night before the game.
Hank Jr. wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow had he swigged a 5th of Jack, smoked a bong load of dope or scratched lice out of his scraggly beard in the Mother Church of Country Music.
But compare President Obama to Hitler on national TV and let the chips fall where they will.
All Hank’s rowdy fans may have settled down, but ESPN got riled up.
To some it was a freedom of speech moment. For others it was a major gaffe.
When asked about the President playing golf with the Speaker of the House, Williams compared it to Adolph Hitler playing golf with the Leader of Israel.
Whether he meant it or not, many took it to mean that Williams compared Obama to Hitler.
Of course it was.
Why do you live out the songs that you wrote?
It’s a family tradition.
Some thought it was free speech. Others thought Hank crossed the line.
