Feb 4, 2021, 11:16 AM

Inappropriate actions must have consequences and hopefully Morgan Wallen is learning just that.  Big Loud, Morgan’s label dropped him …well suspended him indefinitely and …The fallout continues, and you can add The Academy of Country Music to that list as they announced that they will “halt” the troubled country singer’s “involvement” and “eligibility” at this year’s awards show after Morgan’s racist slur.  The ACM’s released a statement saying, “The academy does not condone or support intolerance or behavior that doesn’t align with our commitment and dedication to diversity and inclusion.”  They are now offering diversity training to any ACM members.
