Hank Williams Jr. proves that political correctness does not pay. You can’t keep a good man down, and eventually the truth wins.
Country music legend Hank Williams Jr. will be returning to Monday Night Football on ESPN with an updated version of the 1989 classic “All My Rowdy Friends Are Here On Monday Night” that will debut in September. (via Tennessean)
The updated version of the classic football song will feature two younger artists who have yet to be announced. The song will also have changing lyrics based on the teams competing on Monday night.
Hank Williams Jr. was originally fired by ESPN six years ago for his “controversial” comments condemning then-president Barack Obama for playing a round of golf with John Boehner.
Williams compared Obama to Hitler and referred to him as “the enemy,” claiming that it was a mistake for Boehner to meet with Obama before the 2012 election. Williams was fired for the comparison.
ESPN’s senior vice president of studio production heralded the return stating, “I think it’s a return to our past in that it’s such an iconic song associated with football… It’s a Monday night party and that’s what we’re all hoping to get back to.”
Williams’ return to ESPN is a huge win for the country star and football fans proving that you can defeat political correctness. However, his return is an act of desperation for the failing sports channel.
The Disney-owned sports broadcaster has been in sharp decline in recent years as sports fans abandon the heavy liberal bias of ESPN personalities. (via Outkick The Coverage).
ESPN’s most recent quarterly income report reveals that the broadcaster is generating 11 percent less income than they were at this time last year. The drop in profits forced ESPN to fire over 100 on-air and online personalities to stay afloat.
Now, Disney is hoping to reignite some excitement for ESPN by convincing conservative fans to tune in to hear Hank Williams Jr. shout, “Are you ready for some football?!”
Over 10,000 have turned off ESPN each day in 2017 as fans flock away from the liberal network in favor of online sources.
ESPN is admitting defeat by bringing Williams back, but it may be too little too late as fans have already soured to liberal sports coverage.
