Hank Williams Jr. and his comments

[marshallfever]

Not sure if to put this in the NFL Football forums or in the Entertainment forums. I'm watching Outside Lines on ESPN right now and they are having a heated debate on Hank William's comments on the President. I didn't know Hank was very much into Neo-Confederacy and politics.

But ESPN just dropped him from Sunday night now, it's real interesting. I completely agree with freedom of speech but that's very limited when you have a contract and agreement with people. What are some opinions here......

This will probably get locked, but I think it was a bad analogy. I understand what he was trying to say, but there had to be another direction he could have went with it.

It's unfortunate that ESPN fired him, but that's the nature of the beast these days.

Yeah, this could potentially spark a political debate. These never end good.

This one is going to be locked.

Having said that his comments were stupid, irresponsible, and disrespectful.

This will be locked......it will get political......

But bottom line, you can't say what you want to say on national tv.

Well, you can.....just expect there to be repercussions later.

People should know by now not to compare someone to Hitler in the media no matter how you feel about the person in question. You're never going to win that argument.

Of course equating the President with Hitler goes beyond political.

And then he calls the President and Joe Biden The Three Stooges.

I think he was drunk.
