Seriously ?

By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Hank Williams Jr., the singer whose opening segment had been removed from ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” earlier this week for remarks he made on Fox News Channel comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler, has been dropped permanently from the broadcast.
ESPN made the announcement Thursday morning.

That's just nutty.

------------------
UPDATE:
What the country signer -- better known as an entertainer, not a diplomat or deep thinker -- actually said:

Williams, famous for his "Are You Ready for Some Football ???" battle cry before the start of Monday Night Football, compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler in an interview on Fox and Friends on Monday morning.

In the interview, Williams slammed the GOP presidential candidates and said House Majority Leader John Boehner's golf game with Obama was a huge mistake.

"You remember the golf game they had? That was one of the biggest political mistakes ever. That turned a lot of people off. It just didn't go over," he said.

Williams said, "It would be like Hitler playing golf with [Israeli leader] Benjamin Netanyahu."

ADDED: Turns out, it was Hank's decision:

On his own website, Williams said he was the one who made the decision.

"After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision," he wrote. "By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It's been a great run."
...
Williams, through his publicist, said on Monday: "Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme -- but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me -- how ludicrous that pairing was. They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the president."

Tuesday, he issued another statement."The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement," Williams wrote on Facebook and his website. "I am very sorry if it offended anyone."

Williams' song has been part of "Monday Night Football" since 1991 on both ESPN and ABC. He is a Grammy award winner who also was a three-time entertainer of the year from the Academy of Country Music in the 1980s.
