I read on here and some other places that people think that Hanks/1st amendment rights were violated or infringed upon in some what.
DO you think this is true?
I do not and cannot see how the correlation is made?

ESPN pulls Monday Night Football intro
100% correct.I personally have no problem with what Hank Jr said. Having said that, MNF has every right to pull the opening song if they choose to, just as I have the right to not watch any MNF game that doesn't open with the MNF version of "All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight".
100% correct. :clap:
When the Dixie Chicks said somethng critical about GWB and their songs were pulled from country radio, the liberals whined about their right to say what they wanted.
Guessing those same people are pretty silent now. Wonder why that would be.

I only hope that the same Country/Western radio stations that boycotted the Dixie Chicks music because they said something negative about the President of the United States aren't hypocrites and boycott HW Jr. as well.....somehow I think their hypocrisy will be glaring.
That's what people need to do, and what I've already done.... let ESPN know that you will not be watching ANY Monday Night Football broadcast that doesn't open with that song. Period. Hit them in the pocketbook via viewership.
Oh - were Hank Williams Jr's songs pulled from the radio?
Not going to happen. Nobody watches MNF to just to see the intro. The odds of ESPN losing viewers over this are slim to none.
They've lost one at least.
How often did you watch MNF before this?
Pretty much every week.
This isnt even remotely clever - as I am sure even -you- know, the issue isn't an exception to the cricism of the OFFICE.I only hope that the same Country/Western radio stations that boycotted the Dixie Chicks music because they said something negative about the President of the United States aren't hypocrites and boycott HW Jr. as well.....somehow I think their hypocrisy will be glaring.
Hank Jr. was absolutely right. Obama does have a lot in common with Hitler. No, he doesn't have gas chambers, but he is a power-hungry monster who is dedicated to destroying capitalism and replacing it with fascism (socialism) and tons of anti-American mandates.
Thanks, Hank, for calling a spade a spade. ESPN owes you a huge apology.

Country radio didnt boycott TDC because they spoke poorly of the President, they boycotted them because they spoke poorly of GWB, who their audience, more often than not suppoeted -- its amazing what a station amamger will do when he gets repeated call about 'if you play any more of their music, I';; never listen to you again'.
The support for The Obama among country listeners is, quite likely and put generaously, considerbly lower - so there's little to no reason for the radio stattions to change HWJR's limited rotation.
:roll:
