Recently, ESPN fired Curt Schilling, who is a former pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, after he posted a meme commenting on transgender bathroom laws. The caption under his post mentioned that he thought the bathroom laws were “pathetic.” Since then, the personality has gone on-record to say that ESPN has “some of the biggest racists in sports commentating” under their roof.
While on SiriusXM Radio for Breitbart News Patriot Forum this past Wednesday, Schilling said, “Some of the most racist things that I’ve ever heard come out of people that are on the air at ESPN. There are some of the biggest racists in sports commentating, and you take it for what it is. You know who they are, you know what they are. I like that they are openly because then you know who they are. You know that they exist.”
Schilling also mentioned that at ESPN, he was being told what he couldn’t say on air, as well as the direction he had to go in if he decided to veer off-topic. Schilling’s views didn’t necessarily align with ESPN, but he made note of others who weren’t in agreement with the company’s views either, saying “One of the things I got early on, people would walk up to me – we had the green room in ESPN, which I kind of turned it into a locker room where everything was on the table, you could make fun of anybody’s mom and all the things that go with that, like in a baseball locker room – but I had people come up to me and go, ‘Hey, I’m with ya, I’m a Republican, too.’ It felt like, underground. It was like a deadly serious thing, like, we didn’t talk… like religion on the table was a much easier discussion to have than who you voted for.”
