A 30 year run ain’t too shabby. Sometimes things change, I’d advise you to get used to it. Edited September 9, 2020 by JoPoy88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Likely players were going to have another protest / sit in / sit out if they did not change song. Player to ESPN sports person: "Nothing to say until you get rid of that song. I have talked to my brothers and if I am fined for not talking we will protest unless they raise percentage that players get." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The entire MNF package pretty much sucks, with emphasis on the actual matchups which are usually sub-par. I don't blame them for trying to change every aspect of the broadcast, but it probably won't help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He compared Obama to Hitler. You just need to open the article. Personally, I loved the song and is iconic, so the thought police at it again. At the end of the day, it’s their brand, and they can do whatever they want to do with their intro music. If I didn’t read the article, I never would even know what Williams politics are if not brought to the forefront now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Kinda sick of that song, way past due for something new. For those who will find their NFL experience somehow less enjoyable without it, I hear there is this new thing called "Youtube" where you can hear any song you want any time you want. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Jeez ... I can't see why the NFL would have ever wanted to distance themselves from this guy the first time, let alone twice .... Concert review from 2014 https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/a-night-of-racism-patriotism-and-homophobia-with-hank-williams-jr-7054864 From the review: "The set really got troublesome, though, when Williams told a story of meeting a black man at his father's house. 'You know I love the black man, and he came to me and said, 'Yo' daddy got that song about jambalaya and the crawfish pie-a,'" Williams rambled in a god-awful, patronizing caricature of an African American man. "'Remember, country music is just white people singing the blues. You go get you a dobro and a lot of good things will happen for you, Little Bocephus.'" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 He's a homophobe and bigot. He doesn't deserve to be on national TV.

Don Otreply Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The song always sucked, I was thoroughly disappointed the first time they used him and it as the intro.
