ESPN yanks Hank Williams Jr.
 

(CNN) -- ESPN says it has severed its relationship with singer Hank Williams Jr. &quot;We have decided to part ways with Hank Williams Jr. We appreciate his contributions over the past years,&quot; the network said in a statement. &quot;The success of 'Monday Night <a href="http://www.abercrombiefitchsoutlets.com"><strong>holliste r abercrombie</strong></a> Football' has always been about the games and that will continue.&quot; In an appearance on Fox News, Williams compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, a remark that prompted controversy and resulted in &quot;Monday Night Football&quot; pulling his popular musical introduction from this week's game. Williams gave a very different statement: &quot;After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision. By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore <a href="http://www.abercrombiefitchsoutlets.com"><strong>abercrom bie and fitch</strong></a> Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It's been a great run.&quot;
