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,
said he 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 independent conservative.
“The coach called me and said parents were upset – that I was being
politically incorrect and the song had racial overtones,” Glover told
FOX News Radio. “An hour and a half later I was told I was being
terminated.”
“I was informed that I was being let go because of the song,” he said,
denying claims there were any racial overtones in the song.
Williamson County School Superintendent Mike Looney disputed Glover’s
account and said his dismissal had nothing to do with the song.
“Absolutely not,” he told FOX News Radio. “That’s a false claim.” [continue - the coach sounds like the truth teller here]
