Curt Schilling says ESPN is biased against political conservatives
Yahoo Sports ^ | 4/27/16 | Mark Townshend

One week after being fired from ESPN after commenting on and promoting a controversial anti-transgender meme on his Facebook page, Curt Schilling is firing back at his former employers. In a one-hour guest appearance on SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s “Breitbart News Patriot Forum,” the former pitcher-turned-analyst flatly accused the sports network of being biased against political conservatives and having inconsistent standards when it comes to reprimanding on-air talent.

According to Newsday, Schilling's commentary was recorded on Wednesday afternoon and is scheduled to air at 8 a.m. Thursday morning. Here's just a sampling of what he had to say.

“It was apparent to me early on that if you wanted to go off topic as a sports person you had to go off topic left, or you were going to get in trouble.”

“Some of the most racist things I’ve ever heard have come out of people that are on the air at ESPN. They’re some of the biggest racists in sports commentating.”

ESPN is biased against white heterosexuals also.

No Sh*t Sherlock . ESPN has been a constant apologist for thuggish black athletes for years now and constantly push ridiculous narratives like blacks being underrepresented in sports where they are 75 / 90 % of the players .

No s*** Curt. I saw that years ago. ESPN is a Disney affiliate. Disney is a big advocate for the LGTB agenda.

I really thank God I never gave into the mass social media thing. It has really screwed up a lot of folks, in my opinion. There but for the grace of God. I’m not sure we were meant to know what everyone thinks about everything in little distinct blurbs.
