Hank Williams Jr. cited his First Amendment rights to free speech as grounds for his official and permanent departure from Monday Night Football.
ESPN issued its own statement Thursday, thanking Hank Williams Jr. for his contributions to Monday Night Football, but they will part ways.
The network had pulled the song from the game Monday night after Williams made an analogy to Adolf Hitler while discussing President Barack Obama on Fox News on Monday morning. Williams later apologized for the remark.
"After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision," Williams said in a statement to The Associated Press. "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."
But ESPN's statement said: "We have decided to part ways with Hank Williams Jr. We appreciate his contributions over the past years. The success of Monday Night Football has always been about the games and that will continue."

Now what did CBS do to David Letterman on Sarah Palin Slutty Airline attendant joke? What did CBS do to David Letterman on Sarah Palin daughter being Knocked up by Derrick Jeter joke? What did NPR do to Daisy Hernadez GRINGO Comment? You see its always the Left when they say something controversal nothing gets done to them. Now when Harry Reid called Obama a light skined Negro Democrats didnt force him to resign. And former Senator Robert Byrd said the N Word on the Senate Floor again Democrats didnt force him to resign. But when Republicans like Trent Lott was only joking about Strom Thrumond being President of the United States democrats cried foul and force him to resign. And Remember these?
They both get Fired,,And Oh yeah Bill Oreily
The N.O.W cried foul and force OReily to apologize. You see if youre liberal nothing will get done to you. But if youre right winged you get the ax like Hank Williams Jr is the list on right wing victims.
