Will Hank Williams Jr. be back in harmony with ESPN in time for next week’s ‘Monday Night Football’ game?

ESPN for the moment is keeping quiet on whether the theme song by the outspoken country singer who compared President Obama to Hitler will return on Monday’s telecast. The song was yanked off this week’s game following Williams’ comments on Fox News’ ‘Fox & Friends.’

The singer has apologized several times for the remarks, saying he was misunderstood.

Although no decision has been announced, one possibility is for Williams to appear during halftime on Monday and deliver a direct apology or explanation to viewers.

How do you think ESPN should handle the controversy?
