ESPN benches Curt Schilling for saying radical Islamic terrorists are a problem

[Spike]

The controversy began early Tuesday, when Schilling sent out a tweet comparing "extremist Muslims" to the Nazi Party. Schilling quickly deleted that tweet, but many users took a screen shot before it was taken down.

ESPN PR quickly responded, saying they did not agree with the views Schilling expressed in the tweet, and immediately removed him from his current assignment broadcasting the Little League World Series.

To speak the plain truth, it's getting pretty damn dull around here.

Actually it will get you railroaded out of town. Anyone heard from Hank Williams Jr lately?

 

[IndySteel]

ESPN is a piece of ****.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

coo-coo-ka-chooo the PC train is a running strong. Sticks and sting may brake my bones, and saying **** against Islam, or blacks will get you fired.

ESPN is a piece of ****.

It probably goes a little deeper. ESPN is owned mostly by the company that is turning kids into spoiled, little ****, weirdos

ESPN Inc.= a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (which operates the network, through its 80% controlling ownership interest) and the Hearst Corporation (which holds the remaining 20% interest).

That's so ****** up...he didn't say just Muslims, he said extremist Muslims were like Nazis.

This PC **** continues until the citizens conform.

 

[Steelr4evr]

**** ESPN and Islam. They can drown in rivers of blood filled with severed heads.

I think you've confused the Walrus with a choo-choo train.

Schilling should have followed ESPNs Chris Carter's advise and had a fall guy in his posse take the blame for this.

 

[Yinzerlyn]

Schilling is a conservative, so he's already in the crosshairs of media hate.

I guess they'll never hire me, Supe, and DBS. We'd make a hell of a post-game show too.

I fail to see what was wrong with his statement.

When I read the article a few days ago, I thought they left out his offensive statement. Seems like a reasonable statement to me. Things being said about Southerners a few weeks ago (and today) by comedians, politicians, etc. were a lot worse.

Stealing a buttload of taxpayers money for a failed video game company is also a problem.

It's the Nazi thing. Only liberals can make Nazi comparisons. Look at the crap Huckabee took about a month ago for his comments about the Iran deal He made these comments about a country that has made no bones about killing Jews and eliminating Israel, yet he gets ripped for making Nazi comparisons. Nazis, who made no bones about killing Jews.

In a kingdom of lies the truth is treason.

We might actually talk about the players and the game rather than comming up with stoopid catch phrases to make the show about us rather than sports.

Somewhere, this pleases Elfie.

But Hitlery can compare conservatives to terrorists....google that.....there's not ONE major U.S. "news" source carrying it.......it's all good.

'Now, extreme views about women we expect from some of the terrorist groups, we expect from people who don’t want to live in the modern world, but it’s a little hard to take coming from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States,' Clinton said

I think Schilling's mistake was that he incorrectly referred to all Nazi's. I think he meant the Nazi SS, who did a lot things like those Muslim extremists do.

It was really unfair of Schilling to brand all Nazi's as being monsters like the Muslim extremists.
