ESPN said Thursday that Schilling won’t be on telecasts for the rest of the regular season or the American League wild-card game on Oct. 6.
The former star pitcher and “Sunday Night Baseball” analyst was pulled by ESPN from a major league game and the network’s coverage of the Little League World Series last month after he retweeted a post that compared Muslims and Nazi-era Germans.
At the time, Schilling said he’d made a “bad decision.”
Schilling later sent an email to a sports media site about his Twitter post, causing a further uproar.
ESPN said “Curt’s actions have not been consistent with his contractual obligations nor have they been professionally handled; they have obviously not reflected well on the company.”
Liberal garbage apologist espn who needs them
In the era of PC I guess this the correct thing to do.
Curt is brilliant and says it like it is!
Bravo Mr Schilling!!
Schilling said he’d made a “bad decision.” It was a bad decision, telling the truth is sometimes bad, it got him fired, but that is the price of telling the truth.
Too bad we must suffer from the truth.
It’s not an anti Muslim tweet. Is it factual? Seems to be.
On the money Curt!
I emailed a complaint to ESPN. I told them i want sure if they were pro terrorists out pro nazi yemach sh’mom or both!!!!
They emailed me back with nothing less than song and dance.
