I don't really get it though since it didn't say Germans are bad so therefore doesn't say Muslims are bad... or no?

I'd probably leave all the shit off my Twitter just in case.

Caring this much about what anyone ever posts, reposts, or rereposterests on Facebook makes you fucking crazy in my book.

Schilling had to know with PC as it is it could cost him. Maybe he just doesn't GAF.

Because he didn't check his "white privilege".

Muslim Brotherhood & Hitler
Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928 by a 22-year old Muslim named Hassan al-Banna, who admired Adolf Hitler's hatred of the Jews and persistently wrote to Hitler to express his admiration for Hitler, as well as his desire for collaboration with Hitler's Nazi Party.
When Hitler rose to power, his Nazis supported al-Banna, a school teacher, to grow the Muslim Brotherhood into its ally in the Middle East; by 1938, the membership of Muslim Brotherhood topped 200,000.
During World War II, members of the Muslim Brotherhood spied for Hitler's Nazis in the Middle East and fought for Hitler as Nazi troops in two specially formed Muslim Waffen-SS Handschar Divisions ('Handschar' is German for scimitar, the curved saber used by the Muslim troops of the Ottoman empire).

Your post has nothing to do with baseball.

Schilling has been in the broadcast side of things long enough to know his job in the booth has rules. He's free to express his opinions but he should expect to be suspended or look for other work if his contract with ESPN/Disney was violated when he posted that stuff.
With ESPN/Disney being in a cost cutting mode they may not have him back.

Just don't get how he didn't think that might offend some people. Is it fair as a reporter you're not allowed to have an opinion on something when you're not working? Probably not, but you have to think things through as far as how it's going to effect your viewership.
In the old saying don't discuss religion or politics if you don't want to upset anybody this guy did both in a couple of sentences.

Re: Schilling gets pulled from little league World Series.
Are we saying Islam equals fascism? Because fascism is grounded in nationalism and Islamic movements are not national movements. I know, who cares about getting things right. My bad.
Also, has Schilling, a guy that strongly believes in small government, paid back the $100 million he owes Rhode Island for subsidizing his video game company?

Curt Schilling the wing nut announcer. I think that entire ESPN baseball crew sucks, but he's the biggest douche of them all.
His cry baby lame excuse that he didn't make the HOF because of his political views was bogus. Most athletes are conservative.

Agree with you steve, and not to change the subject here, but what bothers me about the voters to the HOF is that often, they seem to bring their personal bias into the voting. How they were treated by the athlete etc. I guess you can't scrub the vote of personal bias, but some of the reporters who are allowed to vote really do carry a grudge.

Time to modernize the entire thing. IMO if you were a top five player at your position for 10 years you are in the HOF. End of story. No more retro active punishments either, if you didn't get caught gambling, roiding or whatever while you put up your stats then they count. If you get caught using roids and suspended for a season well that's going to hurt your chances.

He's free to say what he wants. ESPN and anyone else is free to believe that the views he expresses do not gibe with the image they want to project and to terminate his contract.

The guy worked for a company that gave Caitlyn Jenner an award for taking Bruce Jenner away from us.
He didn't understand the culture of his workplace.

Dude- if my company knew I posted here I probably wouldn't post here. Or at least I'd be a lot different. And despite facebooks and twitters being "private" I don't post shit that I wouldn't mind being emailed to my boss. Just in case.
It takes a special kind of dumb to post shit that the guy that pays you might be not a fan of and just kind of hope that you don't get in trouble for it. It's an even specialer kind of dumb when you're a well know celebrity.
