Tennessee Football Coach Fired For Anti-Obama Song

A Tennessee Football Coach was fired for making an anti-Obama song.

Tennessee middle school assistant football coach, Bryan Glover, age 26, was fired for a song he wrote.

The song, “When You’re Holding a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail”, takes a dig at the current administration and what he believes to be the wrong moves for the U.S. He sent a link to his song to everyone in his personal e-mail inbox, which included parents from Grassland Middle School, where he coached football.
“An hour-and-a-half after sending out the e-mail, I got the phone call from the head coach saying that he had had complaints from parents; he was told to fire me,” the former coach accounts.

He notes that he was surprised by the allegations against him.

“When the coach first called me, he said his phone was blown up with parents saying that I was being politically incorrect — quote, unquote — if you will, and that some of them were even reading into racial overtones in the song,” Glover explains.

But he points out that the lyrics make no direct or indirect reference to race.

A number of supportive parents met with the principal and asked for reinstatement, but the school district is remaining firm. The Williamson County superintendent refuses to say why the coach was fired, but he speculates that it could be an issue of how he obtained the parents’ e-mail addresses — even though the e-mail was sent from his personal account.

This happened about a year ago.

I just heard about it yesterday. It is just another in a long line of examples of how loony and intolerant the left is.
