Football Coach Fired Over Anti-Obama Song?
August 24, 2010
http://nation.foxnews.com/culture/2010/08/23/football-coach-fired-over-anti-obama-song

A
Tennessee middle school football coach said he got fired after he wrote a song that criticized President Obama.

Bryan Glover, an assistant coach at Grassland Middle School near Nashville, co-wrote the country music song, “When You’re Holding a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail.”

It was co-written by a parent who has a child on the team. Glover, 26, emailed a copy of the song to friends, family members and player’s parents through his personal email account.

And that’s when all the trouble started for the self-described Christian, conservative, Republican.

Glover told NewsChannel 5 in Nashville some parents called the school to complain about the “politically charged lyrics.”

He said the principal ordered the head coach to fire Glover.

“He’s just said parents were complaining, maybe there was a comment of racial overtones,” he told NewsChannel 5.

However, Glover told One News Now there were absolutely no racial overtones or insults in the song.
