Did he quit or was he sacked?

Either way, he’s gone, as Hank Williams Jr. and ESPN have parted ways after the country singer compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler earlier this week, a gaffe that led the sports network to remove his "Are You Ready?" anthem from the Monday Night Football intro that same day.
