ESPN Removes Curt Schilling From Little League Coverage After Islamophobic Tweet
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/espn-removes-curt-schilling-little-817583?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=THR%20Breaking%20News_now_2015-08-25%2011:58:16_rsun&utm_term=hollywoodreporter_breakingnewsESPN has removed Curt Schilling from its coverage of the Little League World Series after the former pitcher tweeted a meme comparing Muslims to Nazis.
The network's full statement reads:
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.
If you have the stomach for it, you can read this twitter feed about his suspension:
