ESPN removed Curt Schilling from its Little League World Series coverage after a controversial tweet from the retired baseball player compared Muslims to Nazis.
“It’s said only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists,” the graphic Schilling tweeted read. “In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How’d that go?”
Schilling almost immediately deleted the tweet.
“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,” the network said in a statement.
