ESPN Suspends Curt Schilling For Comparing Radical Muslims to Nazis
ESPN, the worldwide leader in both sports coverage and political correctness, has suspended former big leaguer and current analyst Curt Schilling, after the ex-pitcher sent a controversial tweet.
On his Twitter page, Schilling re-posted a Facebook meme:
"It's said only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How'd that go?"
The text was superimposed of a red-tinted photo of Adolf Hitler.
Then, Schilling added, "The math is staggering when you get to true #'s."
Following an ESPN statement with the obligatory "does not reflect the values of the network", Schilling issued an apology and another tweet:
"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."
