Gary Glitter banned from NFL

Everybody remembers Glary Glitter’s arrest and conviction for child molestation. Everybody also remembers that the teams used to play Rock and Roll, Part II, a song which pretty much held the title of Anthem as far as American sports is concerned.
The song, also known as the “Hey” song, has been part of NFL for as long as one can remember. The fact is, very few people are aware of the fact that Glitter co-wrote and performed the song. Glitter is currently in a prison cell in Vietnam serving a three year sentence after being convicted in 1999 for possessing child pornography. This is definitely not the kind of person you want to hear for the opening of an NFL game. There were few angry mails from fans who wrote to say it was out of order to keep on playing his music after what he did. They were asked to choose a new anthem for their teams, and the New England Patriots chose Elevation from U2 and the 1812 Ouverture. The Chiefs did not get away with it so easily, their fans wanted their old song back and they managed to located another version of Rock and Roll part II, incredibly enough, performed by the Tube Tops. The Broncos took the matter very seriously and finally settled on Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s “Go Daddy-0 and the band went as far as to record a special “Go Broncos” version. Why not check your Hollywood sportsbook site today and check out how you can vote and choose the new anthem for your favorite team.
