Curt Schilling not happy ‘bloody sock’ game cut from...‘30 for 30’ [ESPN purges history]
wash post ^ | 5/2/16 | D Bieler

Curt Schilling was recently fired by ESPN in large part because of his frequent social-media activity, specifically controversial memes and comments shared by the former pitcher. So when reports circulated online that ESPN had cut Schilling’s memorable “bloody sock” performance in the 2004 ALCS from its Sunday airing of a “30 for 30″ documentary about that Red Sox-Yankees showdown, it was no surprise to see him weigh in quickly, and strongly.

Die, ESPN, die.

Take the GOP Establishment, The View and The Talk with you, too.

The girlyboys down at ESPN sure are PO’d at Schilling. They all have their panties in a wad.

From what I know about most sports fans is that they are not usually liberal at all and I don’t know why they bother to watch ESPN.

ESPN is a communist front group.

Does the ESPN documentary detail how Curt Schilling ripped off the tax payers of Rhode Island for $115 million?

He is right to be offended, but it is wise at all times to remember who these people are.

They are kit and kin to the Soviets who made people “unpersons” for transgressions against the government.

Or the people who went down the memory hole in Orwell’s 1984.

It’s yet another subtle, or not-so-subtle attempt at social engineering by media liberals.

Invade every aspect of society. Just like the Nazis did. They were using the propaganda right there in the school systems, targeting the very young.

And then there were the Nazi babies, piled together for the Fuhrer.

Scary stuff.

Does this mean you approve of making someone and “unperson”?

Even though what you referenced has not one iota of bearing on the situation being discussed?

What does that have to do with pitching in the playoffs?

While giving football scores a few years back, one of their talking jock sniffers said:”The Republicans can shut down the government, but the Jets couldn’t shut down the Patriots”. The only time that channel comes on in this house is if the Seahawks are playing. Maybe.

If Curt wanted to be a focus of the documentary, all of his life should be open to discussion.

I do not like ESPN talk shows. The only time I will watch those ESPN channels is when they happen to be broadcasting a college ball game in which I have an interest. And even then I mute it for halftimes and after game commentary. When radio would broadcast games I would mute the TV game and listen to the radio broadcast while watching the game. Radio does a much better job of play by play. ESPN is sad.

I have not a clue of what you are talking about, but I presume you are enamored with high 'progressive' tax rates, and don't like people who use legal means to minimize the amount of their money that they give to their government overlords.

Since the documentary is regarding the 2004 ALCS, why would it?

So, you believe in erasing people from the record because they disagree with your stand on transsexuals?

Come on. We are curious...tell us what this is all about, why you have this particular Orwellian view about erasing the past of someone for whatever reason you decide.
