ESPN fires country singer, Hank Williams Jr., because of some controversial comments he said on an ESPN interview. Hank Jr. has been known to work with ESPN for over 20 years, with his famous Monday Night Football intro’s, “Are you ready for some football?”.

In an interview with Hank Jr., he was asked what he thought about Obama & Boehner playing a game of golf against Biden & Kasich. He said it’s like Hitler playing golf with the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He then said that they’re the enemy, Obama and Biden.

I think a lot of people misunderstood his point, I think I get what he was trying to say. Here’s my take on it: First of all, he was trying to explain how stupid it was for Obama to be playing golf with his buddies, when there are more important things in the world that Obama needs to worry about. Our government is broken, the economics are a mess, there are no jobs anymore, there’s a protest going on in Wall Street, wars still going on in Afghanistan, etc. That’s what Hank Jr. means when he says Obama and Biden are the enemy, ’cause it’s true.

Secondly, I think Hank Jr. was just joking a little bit when he brought Hitler and Netanyahu into it. If you think about it, Obama is kind of like Hitler in some way. There are similarities  of their political backgrounds between the two of them. So, can you see why people are starting to compare Obama to Hitler?

I’m totally on Hank’s side. While his points maybe harsh, they are valid. This was ESPN’s fault, not his. They asked him questions, all he did was answer and gave his honest thoughts. Hank doesn’t owe anyone anything.
