ESPN has terminated its contract with broadcaster Curt Schilling, the network announced on Wednesday, after the latest misstep on social media by the former major league pitcher.

"ESPN is an inclusive company," ESPN released in a statement. "Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated."

Schilling on Monday shared a post on Facebook with derogatory remarks towards a transgender person, though he later claimed he didn't make the post.

Schilling, 49, was a game analyst for ESPN since the 2010 season, including on the network's flagship Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts in 2014 and 2015. His 20-year playing career ended in 2007.

He was pulled off Sunday Night Baseball telecasts as well as the 2015 Little League World Series after a tweet that compared Muslims to Nazis. ESPN at the time called Schilling's tweet "unacceptable," but kept him on board despite a history of anti-Muslim posts on his Facebook page.

Schilling himself knew his status at ESPN was shaky at best, in September while making a political donation noting on the form as his employer "ESPN (not sure how much longer)."




That final straw came this week.

Amazing in this current climate, people still make a big deal of hating Muslims. I hate Muslims and consider them pure vile filth.

Back in WW 2, it was completely acceptable to hate Japan and even after WW 2. American Japs were put in camps on US soil just because we couldn't trust them. Do it to the Muslims and there is an uproar about it

The guy is such an embarrassment ... He knew he was under a microscope but just had to make yet another derogatory remark

I never could stand him in the booth or his ketchup sock

Who could even tell that it was a derogatory remark. Everything is derogatory remark these days.

This is why Trump resonates with the people. We are tired of the PC horse shit that has taken over America.

Not only he is a fucking idiot, he's a gutless fucking idiot. Denying the post was his? Didn't work for Weiner, never works. Just admit it and face the consequences, if those are your beliefs.

Bottom line is when working for a company, you represent their brand. You have to be conservative while on social media and during interviews etc. He knows that.

He's always been a blowhard. I'm sure the people who work with him will be throwing a party tomorrow.

Seems like a miserable guy to be around.

When the Sox got him, I guess he tried to get Randy Johnson to want to come to the Sox too and Randy said don't call me again, lol.

Didn't he blow a load of money on a failed video game company? He needs the job at ESPN no?

ESPN is a known liberal Democrat-pushing media outlet. Fuck them, and Fuck all you PC-correct pussies.

Schilling speaks his mind on letting sick fucks into girls restrooms and he gets fired?

Fuck that bullshit. And fuck all the people the agree with that horseshit.

Kudos to Curt for speaking his mind on this issue.

Schilling, who had worked for the network since 2010 and most recently offered analysis on “Monday Night Baseball,” was dismissed after sharing a Facebook post this week that appeared to respond to the North Carolina law that bars transgender people from using bathrooms and locker rooms that do not correspond with their birth genders.
The post showed an overweight man wearing a wig and women’s clothing with parts of the T-shirt cut out to expose his breasts. It says: “LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die.”
To that, Schilling added: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”

What does Schilling think goes on in restrooms?

there is a reason this piece of shit was hated by many of his team mates.......a total clown.

" Every 5th day Curt is horse, problem is, the other 4 days he's a horses ass" that quote sums him up.

If I had a young daughter, I would assume anything can go on in a public restroom.

You think by calling everyone an idiot makes you intelligent? Why are you here? You are not a voice of reason.
