| ESPN Bounces Curt Schilling from LLWS Over Tweet Comparing Muslims To Nazis |
| 2015-08-26 |
| Other than offending PC sensibilities / ESPN social media guidelines, I fail to see a problem with this. Curt Schilling, who loves crazy-ass memes and being crazy more than anyone, is getting a slap on the wrist from ESPN after tweeting a meme with the basic premise of "Muslims = Nazis." ESPN PR just released this statement regarding Schilling: (yesterday afternoon - ed.) ESPN comment on Schilling: Curt's tweet was completely unacceptable, and in no way represents our company's perspective. We made that point very strongly to Curt and have removed him from his current Little League assignment pending further consideration. It's kind of weird that he's getting kicked off of LLWS duty, yet seemingly being allowed to stay in the broadcast booth for Sunday Night Baseball. I wonder what would get him suspended from that gig. Maybe a post defending the Confederate flag? |

| #5 Well, contrary to popular belief, the Nazi's favorite means of execution was the Guillotine. Seems they actually used it in France, Nederlands, and in Germany over 100,000 times. Puts them right up there with the French Revolution for chopping folks. |

| #4 Mohammed's pigstickers and sabres Slew dozens of millions of neighbors, But he's hotsy-totsy (quite unlike a Nazi!) For Allah has favored his labors. |

| #3 ESPN is a sub (like ABC) to Disney. Gotta be PC to the death. I don't even think an Islamic State massacre at Disney world would change that |

| #2 ..cause I don't recall the Nazis beheading and crucifying (by the book) too many. Gassing millions, blowing them to bits, summarily executing civilians because of their religion or creed or nationality, but not a lot of that medieval stuff. /sarc off |
