ESPN pulls Curt Schilling from LLWS after offensive tweet
Are you offended?
ESPN has pulled baseball analyst Curt Schilling from its coverage of the Little League World Series after he sent an offensive tweet comparing Muslims and Nazi-era Germans, the network announced Tuesday. Schilling tweeted an image of Adolf Hitler with supposed statistics comparing the number of Nazi sympathizers in Germany to the percentage of modern Muslim extremists and deleted it after a few minutes. He had posted the same image on his Facebook page earlier in the day. In a statement, ESPN called the former MLB pitcher’s comments “completely unacceptable.” He has been removed from this week’s coverage of the Little League World Series “pending further consideration.” Schilling has caused controversy on Twitter before. In November, he spent four hours debating the theory of evolution with Twitter users. When his ESPN colleague Keith Law confronted Schilling with the overwhelming scientific evidence in support of the theory, the network suspended Law from Twitter. Schilling is outspoken about his political beliefs, telling a Boston radio station in November that he believed he was denied admission to the Hall of Fame because he is a Republican. http://www.si.com/mlb/2015/08/25/cur...ment-espn-llws |

It's my privelage as an American to do so, I earned it. We will shut those bastards down in Texas. They wouldn't make it to San Antonio before we wrecked their Allah worshiping asses. Besides most of them are cowards anyway. |

Randy Johnson relieving Curt Schilling is still one of my favorite memories ever.

I'm sure the images of well fed men in CPAP masks springing out from shrubs with rifles will be enough to drive them back.

You realize that your lie just makes you sound stupid, right? I mean before you were just too lazy to Google election years in Germany. Now, you're doubling down on your lie and claiming that support for the Nazi party may have been declining in 1940. Good job. |

If you have no idea whether the 7% number is accurate, then how can you go on to say it's reasonable to assume that there are more Muslim extremists?

I don't think there's any question that he's right. That doesn't change the fact that we're the ones attacking their countries on a large scale, not the other way around. I don't think we have to worry about a Luftwaffe of rug pilots carpet bombing us any time soon.
