My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

So ridiculous. I'm Jewish and I'm not offended by his comments at all. Not only that, I hate country music and I still side with Hank, He wasn't comparing Obama to Hitler. America has gotten way to soft. Everything has to be politically correct these days. They aren't janitors, they're custodial engineers. Give me a break! Man up America!
+1
Could not agree more.

+2, unbelievable.
Anyone would realize the analogy he was trying to make but everyone has to constantly look for something to complain about.
GO OWLS!

You cant work for or represent a big company like ESPN and publically call the President the enemy while wearing a camo Alabama hat…just cant do it. And an Adolf Hitler reference publically??? He knows better than that. I work for a very large company…if our HR department read on a social media site that I said that I'd be gone in a flash.

Maybe not, but you don't have to show up to the White House when invited…….
"President Barack Obama will honor NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and the 11 other Chase drivers from last year in a White House ceremony on Wednesday – but nearly half of the 2010 playoff contenders won't be there.
NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers – Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart – will not be attending the White House visit due to "schedule conflicts."

Touche!

That said, I agree that ESPN had no choice but to yank him. They have an image to protect and sponsors to keep happy…and there is nothing that scares sponsors away faster than controversy.

This sounds about rightfauowls44 said
The bigger question is why in the world was anyone interviewing Hank Williams Jr. about anything in the first place? Who really cares his opinion on anything other then the 30 second song he sings 17 weeks a year?

Yeehaw! Get er' done!!! Every Sunday when Nascar is on I have a "schedule conflict" when they are racing around the track. The conflict is trying not to be white trash.
