ESPN punished Schilling for telling truth about Nazis and extremist Muslims
The New York Post ^ | August 31, 2015 | Phil Mushnick

ESPN last week suspended its lead baseball analyst, Curt Schilling, not for talking games to death, but for a social-media message equating Nazis with current, extremist Muslims.

Despite their master-race genocidal crusade, the Nazis, during World War II, recruited, inducted, trained and armed at least 25,000 Balkan Muslims into an Islamic arm of the SS. Tens of thousands more eastern Muslims fought for Nazi Germany. Their mutual attraction was a shared desire to murder Jews.

After the war, “rat lines” that provided escape and sanctuary to Nazi war criminals led to safekeeping in Islamic countries, especially Egypt and Syria. And little about radical Islam, as it today festers and explodes, has changed since the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 14th century.

So what Schilling tweeted was (a) true, (b) a vast understatement, and (c) intolerable to ESPN, so at odds with the company’s position that ESPN had no choice but to publicly censure and punish him.

And he missed describing Arrieta’s no-hitter.

FUESPN

A man tweets something that’s factually correct, he could lose his job.

A man puts on lipstick and a dress and they give him a GD award.

That describes ESPN (and the "politically correct' crowd) just about perfectly!

Makes no sense at all. But the 12 year olds from PA who lost a championship in a tough way showed more class than ESPN yesterday.

As long as people keep tuning in and watching ESPN, they’ll keep doing this BS, because there’s no pain coming back at them.

Hit them in their wallet.

Curt was right, and I wonder what will happen to Tony (Korn Dog) Kornheiser for his remarks. (So I pulled up this thread as a reminder.)

As Bibi Netanyahu noted. I guess he’s disqualified from appearing on ESPN.
