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.”

“So does this mean ESPN supports Muslim Extremists?”

It sure could be interpreted that way that way. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some truth to that.

Yet they don’t seem to mind the heavy security and inconvenient precautions the stadiums take at the pro baseball games.

Off topic but people are so sick of the stupidity of political correctness, anyone who comes against it is a hero.

[Gumdrop]

I agree. What’s not to approve when Schilling is making a completely truthful analogy?

[mmichaels1970]

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

He probably has a Cuban birth certificate that lists him as 12.

ESPN is run by morons.

ESPN is going totally PC. Last night I was watching the Cardinal/Diamondbacks game. They had Jessica Mendoza, a former softball player as color commentator. Nothing against softball, my daughter has played for 10 years. But it totally annoys me to have a female voice on men's sports. And a softball player providing color commentary for MLB? Really?

Then at some point, they cut to the studio for an update. Again a high-pitched female voice with a very heavy Spanish accent.

The announcers spent more time last night talking about the swimming pool in the outfield than they did about the game.

I wish ESPN would just use the home-town announcers like the MLB network does. Being a Cardinal fan, I would have even preferred the Arizona announcers to the 3 fools on the air last night.

I’m not a Red Sox fan, but how does Curt Schilling as FCC Commission er in the next administration sound?

[P-Marlowe]

He must have insulted the Nazis at ESPN.

[Paine in the Neck]

Well, ESPN. What are muslim extremists like?

[WayneS]

Ah, yes. I’ve heard that goes on in Little League baseball.

And the practice might become even more prevalent now that the U.S. has reestablished diplomatic ties with Cuba.

By this time next year, Mr. schilling could be as young as 11...

[Buckeye McFrog]

But they ARE just like the Nazis. Only even more fanatical due to the religious principles that are driving them.

[Buckeye McFrog]

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

if he were Dominican, maybe not

[I want the USA back]

Predicted.

5% - 10% of how many billion Muzzies? Say a billion: that's uhmm, carry the 1...

50 - 100 MILLION extremists!

We'd better start now...

Company’s perspective = progressive agenda

[NormsRevenge]

They should have more girls playing.. Ya see some of them gals these days. Whoaaa .

[alstewartfan]

No, they just don’t want to be beheaded.

[Iscool]

That’s the political correctness Trump is referring to...

[libstripper]

Possibly more true than he knows. The Nazis and radical Mudslimes were enthusiastic allies throughout WW II, and both did their best to exterminate the Jews.

Layman's Explanation of the Iranian Deal Dennis Prager makes a lot of sense. Congress needs to stop the deal with Iran. Very insightful, articulate and easily understood. Dennis Prager delivers a gem on the Iranian deal. Compares Iran to Nazi Germany in 1938

So does this mean ESPN supports Muslim Extremists?

Worse, they protect them.
