    ESPN to replace Hank Williams Jr.’s ‘Monday Night Football’ intro song
    wouldn't expect anything else from espn

    The network confirmed a report Tuesday that Williams’s “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over For Monday Night Football” is being replaced by “Rip It Up.” That song, a hit for Little Richard in 1956, will feature his vocals atop a new instrumental track performed by Virginia-based band Butcher Brown.

    Sports Business Daily reported ESPN executives decided to go in a different direction this season because NFL stadiums, amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, will have few to no fans in the stands. Sports Business Daily also reported that ESPN won’t use footage of Little Richard, who died this year at 87, or Butcher Brown but will instead show highlights of the teams playing in each night’s game.

    What a decision just because it has one line that says "im gonna ball tonight".

    Sounds like ESPN's iq these days.

    But hey, could have been much worse i guess

                America going to regret caving into Blacks, I think will go down in history as one of the biggest mistakes of all times.

                                  They should go back to the music they had back in the 70's and 80's and get rid of all the pre-game garbage.

                                            This is what happens when suits in a board room make decisions when they should have conferred with additional parties. You ever been at work and the suits make a decision that effects the worker bees and the worker bees are like who dumb idea was this? Yeah, that is what happen here.

                                            I don't think there was a significant population of Black People calling for a change in song, or for this particular song. The suits at ESPN just dropped the ball all around on this one.

                                              I don't know why they feel the need to lie to themselves. NFL bottom line has not noticed a dip in revenue or viewership because of kneeling. This is an election year, historically viewership across TV dips in election years as more people tune into politics. But that's too complex for the simple minded to understand.

                                                      It’s called change. Sure Hanks song intro was great but everything has a time and season. This new song sounds pretty upbeat. We shall see.

                                                      Leave it to SBR for the resident dummies to blame black people for a network introducing new content. You guys are just looking for shit to complain about.

                                                      JJ - you need some black pussy. Settle down.
