The retired MLB pitcher was suspended by the network last year for another controversial social media post.

Former MLB pitcher and ESPN analyst Curt Schilling has been fired by ESPN.

"ESPN is an inclusive company," said the network in a statement on Wednesday. "Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.”

ESPN is a PC bastion. It should stick to sports. Nothing more.

I'll follow a Cubs game on gameday or listen to WGN radio before I'll watch ESPN coverage of their games. They suck and have for a long time.

They are weeding out anyone that disagrees with Liberal dogma. Ditka is gone from Sunday Countdown now Schilling. I feel sure FS1 MLB TV or the NFL Network would welcome these guys in as soon as their no compete clauses expire.

Unfortunately, ESPN covers half the NASCAR and NHL season.  They suck at both.

The NHL is just as bad as ESPN.  They suspended a Blackhawks player for one game and fined him $5,000 for calling a ref a faggot.

I have avoided ESPN since they fired Rush Limbaugh for stating the truth about Donovan McNabb.

  Q: Tell us your views of LGBT and how you plan to be inclusive. Please speak about the North Carolina bathroom law.

A: "North Carolina did something that was very strong and they're paying a big price and there's a lot of problems," said Trump, who would have left things as they were. "There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble."

ESPN goes Stalinist by erasing Curt Schilling from history

We knew ESPN management was painfully politically correct, but we never expected it to go full Stalinist.

Yet there it was: Days after firing Curt Schilling for his political deviations, the network cut him from the Red Sox documentary “Four Days in October” in Sunday night’s airing.

Exactly as the Stalin regime, whenever it purged an “old comrade” from the Communist Party, routinely also cut him out of official history.

Curt Schilling who help break the "Bambino Curse" is erased from ESPN documentary.

No surprise from leftist ESPC.

Heard about that on a sports talk show today.

Disgraceful for ESPN.
