Curt Schilling pulled from Little League World Series over Nazi tweet

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.”

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

No one seems to have noticed, or at least commented on, the fact Schilling caved.

After being removed from the air, Schilling wrote on Twitter: "I understand and accept my suspension. 100% my fault. Bad choices have bad consequences and this was a bad decision in every way on my part.”

Either Schilling needs a job and money badly, or he's lacking in certain anatomical parts only men have.

Meanwhile Chris Carter gets a pass for telling rookies to find a goat to take the blame if they get into a jam.

Why isn’t Israel in the Middle East Region of Little League baseball? There are Arab teams. I can’t even find a link to Israel ever being in the LLWS. Is there a problem? Because I know they play baseball in Israel.

I shouldn’t be surprised that the folks at ESPN are ignorant of history. It’s a known fact that Hitler and the Grand Mufti were friends and collaborators. They both had the same desire. To rid the world of Jews.

ESPN would rather promote Islamic terrorists.

I searched and couldn’t find a mention of them even being in a regional tournament.

I think he does need the money. His video game business went bust.

“I understand and accept my suspension. 100% my fault. Bad choices have bad consequences and this was a bad decision in every way on my part.”

That sounds like standard media speak. It was most likely written for him.

He probably needs the work to support his family.

So what’s wrong with that? Schilling is right.

You’re spoiled because your Cardinals are always on national TV. My Pirates are finally getting some coverage this year, and I enjoy Schilling’s knowledgable commentary during games. BTW, we’re going to take you down.

Espn is garbage. People should call and demand they be removed from cable, direct, and dish.

Funny how they let Cris Carter do an on-air apology because he advised rookie players to “cover up” any of their criminal wrong doings, but Schilling makes this comment and he’s off the air.

If Cris Carter were white, he would have been fired.
