Curt Schilling has been gone from ESPN for 10 months. But the former MLB star is still throwing heaters at his former employer especially as he ponders a run for the U.S. Senate against Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass).
ESPN has gone "way over on the edge on the left" politically, Schilling said during an interview with conservative radio host Chris Stigall of Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.
Schilling said the network's liberal bent has only gotten worse since he was dumped last year for commenting about North Carolina's transgender bathroom law,he said. Schilling would prefer ESPN come clean about its own political biases.
"I don't care that they do it. What I care about is that they lie about it. ESPN fires me for apparently being intolerant because I was actually commenting around the fact men should use the mens room and women should use the womens room. Apparently, that was ... the straw that broke the camels back. Then they come out and act as if they are a tolerant group and theyve gone full mental since then. I mean theyve gone way over the edge on the left, having a tribute to Obama after his last day in office, that gave me acid reflux. And them doing a special on Fidel Castro, which sickened to me to no end. ("Baseball Tonight's" Eduardo Perez is on that team at ESPN and hes a Cuban. He basically acknowledged the fact that Castro was Cubas version of Hitler. This wasnt a compassionate man. ...This was a horrible human being."
