ESPN has pulled former MLB All-Star Curt Schilling from its coverage of the Little League World Series following a controversial tweet comparing Muslim extremists to German Nazis.

“Curt’s tweet was completely unacceptable, and in no way represents our company’s perspective," ESPN said in a statement. "We made that point very strongly to Curt and have removed him from his current Little League assignment pending further consideration.”

ESPN removed Curt Schilling from covering the Little League world series for a tweet comparing radical Islamists to NAZI's.

Schillings quote appears to be true but who cares.

ESPN is being politically correct.

[Resolute Conservative]

Ok I stopped watching the LLWS years ago and quit caring altogether when they made a big deal about the girl last year.

[stephenjohnbanker]

ESPN once again allows it leftist politics to pollute a sport.

[vbmoneyspender]

Did the Nazis object to the comparison?

[El Cid]

Yeah, how dare he insult the Nazis.
At least they were snappy dressers.

[Gamecock]

Now had he encouraged folks to get a sex change operation they would have given him a raise.

[TruthWillWin]

So does this mean ESPN supports Muslim Extremists?

[EvilCapitalist]

So he gets pulled from little league world series coverage for telling the truth? What the hell has the world come to?

I’ve heard everything. They’ve dropped Trump too.

[DoughtyOne]

You say potAto, I say potato..., lets call the whole thing off.

This is idiotic.

Radical Islam beheads people, stones them, stones women who are raped, gives single digit aged girls to 60 year old men in marriage, mutilates women’s genitalia...

Yeah, lets not talk about them in hurtful ways...

[GreenHornet]

I’m not surprised that ESPN would be upset over Shilling’s accurate comparison of radical Islam to the Nazis. this is the same network that gave the Arthur Ashe Courage Award to Michael Sam and Bruce Jenner. It’s pretty obvious their primary agenda these days has nothing to do with sports.

[madprof98]

Of course it does. Dear Leader Obama supports them, so they do too.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I can’t wait for the current cable business model to crash and then what Will ESPN and Disney do?

He's a little old to be in the Little League World Series anyway, isn't he?

[Redbob]

OK, so Curt was slandering Nazis, comparing them to Muzzies - what’s the big deal?

[scooby321]

Disney at its best

[meridenite]

stopped watching espn couple years ago, where.s wide world of sports???

[SamAdams76]

We really need to get Trump elected. He will have the overly sensitive PC crowd quivering in straitjackets by the end of his first term.

[VerySadAmerican]

Did you see the faces on the real men athletes in the audience when Jenner was speaking? You could tell that everyone of them was thinking “Man, I wish I could say what I really think about that freak.” The black athletes looked especially disgusted.

He posted a pic:

"It's said only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists.

In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How'd that go."

And commented:

The math is staggering when you get to true #'s.

And that was enough for ESPN to part ways and feel a former MLB pitcher wasn't worthy of commentary regarding little league games.
