    Curt Schilling Pulled From Little League World Series
    ESPN is telling Curt Schilling to put a bloody sock in it.

    The sports network announced Tuesday it was pulling the analyst and former major league pitcher from its Little League World Series broadcast team over a tweet by Schilling that compared Muslims to Nazi-era Germans.

    Schilling, 48, retweeted a post Tuesday morning that said, "Only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How'd that go?" Schilling later deleted the post from his Twitter feed. He retired from baseball following the 2007 season and joined ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" broadcast for the 2014 season.

    The network said the tweet was unacceptable and that it "made that point very strongly to Curt." ESPN said Schilling was removed from the Little League World Series assignment "pending further consideration."




    Yeah, let's suspend the guy that has been known for how much he does for charity work, and actually pointed out something viable, but Chris Carter keeps on trucking after the statement he made to NFL rookies. No wonder I never use their website anymore.

              When will these people learn that no good can come from posting on twitter? No one cares what they have to say, best case. Worst case, they piss someone off and get fired and/or publicly scorned.

                      Schilling is absolutely right; he should've slammed white southerners, he'd still be on the air.

                        I don't watch that show very often anymore but agree 100%. Max should actually get his own show would be much better than SN His and hers and PTI. I actually enjoyed SN somewhat when it was Colin and Michelle but she's so unlikeable now.

                              I hear shxhiller going to get fired permanently… When you have jobs and their positions you cannot start talking about world issues on the Internet

                              He never knew when to shut up and it's eventually all catching up to him now

                                i think she was like this from way back she just hid it well or colin helped ease it. i saw one SN where colin said he saw her at the store and she snubbed him and she was dead serious and was like "yeah i did and ill do it again". i dont think they liked eachother much maybe ever on that show.

                                    everyone laughs at these people

                                    ESPN now has zero tolerance for white men

                                    Well they have to pretend

                                      Why do we even have a Twitter page if you can't say what's "really on your mind?"

                                      Who the hell wants to hear... hello... it's 75 degrees here. Such beautiful weather. I'm loving it.

                                      You should be considered for writing something like that.

                                              schilling can't catch a break. his company goes belly up. loses all his money. gets tobacco chewing cancer. gets in twitter or facebook issue over his daughter's harrassment. gets espn gig and overspeaks costing him that. sbr should hire him.

                                                of course we are glad he is healthy and went through torture with cancer

                                                I think espn gives him that break so they did not fire him

                                                Curt settle down and talk bases

                                                      white power being screamed at his rally... made me raise my eye brows even though it was clear the types that would back him. He knows what hes doing did you hear his Asian voice?

                                                        We live in troubling times.

                                                        Many of the trashy people backing trump thought the Apprentice was a very high-brow and intelligent show.

                                                          Yep, Trump has his finger on the dog whistle, all right. I'll say this: it's very difficult to change unfavorability numbers like he had just a few months ago as significantly as he has in such a short time. I still think he's a clown. I also still think that his staying in the race is the best thing for the Democrats and the worst thing for the GOP long-term (particularly with respect to Latino vote), but similar to the polls on his unfavorability rating, my strong opinion on that is softening. If nothing else, he completely shut Ted Cruz up by stealing his bit and doing it in much more entertaining fashion.
