Titans play questionable music

NFL, Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Before the Cowboys-Titans game at LP Field, a warm-up soundtrack blared through portable speakers that the Titans wheel onto the sideline.

"Fight Night Remix," by Plies & Lil Boosie & Woop & D. Blake & T. Pain & Mike Smiff & Rick Ross, according to the app Shazam, played about 35 minutes before kickoff.

The worst of the lyrics were blotted out, but the song's themes were still questionable given the recent developments concerning the NFL's trouble with domestic violence.

"We review everything we play on game days and play radio versions, but clearly with the subject matter included, the song should have been flagged and eliminated from the playlist," said Don MacLachlan, Titans executive vice president of administration and facilities.

The Baltimore Ravens cut former running back Ray Rice this week after video of him striking his then-fiancée surfaced.

Also, under fire regarding a pending case against defensive end Greg Hardy, the Carolina Panthers changed their stance and deactivated him Sunday.

"Fight Night Remix" includes this passage: "Hit it with the left, hit it with the right, I'm a knock the p---- out like fight night. Beat it with the left, beat it with the right, I'm a knock the p---- out like fight night."
