Hank Williams Jr. went on Fox News’ Fox and Friends this morning and compared President Obama to Adolph Hitler. As a result of his comments, ESPN has pulled Williams’ “Are You Ready for some Football” opening on Monday Night Football. The network issued the following statement:
“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.”
