Mike Ditka is out at ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown and there's a misconception out there that it's because of his conservative political views. Ditka recently called Barack Obama the "worst'' president in U.S. history and has indicated that he likely would vote for Donald Trump for president. Seeing as how ESPN took Curt Schilling off Sunday Night Baseball for comparing extremist Muslims to Nazis, many believe Ditka is being punished for his comments.
Simply not true. Ditka himself said moving off Sunday NFL Countdown was his idea.
