ESPN just removed Curt Schilling from Little League world series broadcasting

[Nails]

maybe fired for his tweet this morning.

[oldschoolfan]

kurt schilling is one of the dumbest fucking athletes of all time

with his huge ego and small balls  this genius thought he could start a video game company , costing him his whole fortune

now if he did lose his job what will this broke hasbeen  athlete do for money

[TuHolmes]

He's even wrong... The Nazi party was about 15%.

[_aj_]

Every word of the tweet is true.

PC bullshit, but he has to be retarded to not know that would have repercussions.

Not "exactly".

"When it came to power in 1933, the Nazi Party had over 2 million members. In 1939, the membership total rose to 5.3 million with 81% being male and 19% being female. It continued to attract many more and by 1945 the party reached its peak of 8 million with 63% being male and 37% being female"

In 1939 Germanys population was 80,600,000

In 1939 the NAZI Party membership was 5,300,000

That rounds to about 15%

His general premise does hold some merit of course.

guess the race

[El Diablo Blanco]

So he's saying that Islam with over a billion people have over 100 million extremists?

Sounds like a big as Army to me.

[240 is Back]

when a person rants and raves 24/7 about a small percentage of people like this, you know they have some unresolved issues.

I mean, go out and convert people to your religion, if you want to positively change shit.  Instead, people like Schilling just bitch and moan with images like this, designed to brew hatred.  

Look, if you don't like something in the world, you can do 3 things..
1) STFU and ignore it
2) bitch about it, without offering any solutions
3) go out and work to positively change the people doing the things you hate.

Curt, if you feel this strongly, don't whine from facebook - go down to the local mosque and convert people.  If you want to make that % smaller, then go tell then why your religion is better.  Go change them - don't just get 300 million americans 'pissed off' at them.

Seriously, anytime you hear a person doing this, it's always some unresolved anger with other things in their world.

Curt, if you feel this strongly, don't whine from facebook - go down to the local mosque and convert people blow it up.  If you want to make that % smaller, then go

Fixed

Shilling is actually pretty good as an baseball analysis...Listening to him talk, it was only a matter of time before he stepped over the line...He's the guy who got the State of Rhode Island to pony up over a 100 million dollars to invest in his video game company. That company went belly up in no time. All tax payers money. The fact that he's still in front of a camera shows he has no shame.

[El Diablo Blanco]

He'll just claim his twitter account was hacked

[disco_stu]

in 1940 there was no internet, in 1940 the world was very different.
in 1940 germany had a dictator psycho as a leader.
lots of differences.

drawing a conclusion with a single anecdotal similarity is a very long bow at best, stupidly moronic in the least.

if he gets sacked, then they probably werent too worried about him going anyway. this is a good enough reason to hide behind.

[Voice of Doom]

Bah.  He was a mediocre pitcher in a weak era. 

[El Diablo Blanco]

People claim Black athletes are bad with their money.  He got scammed $50 million from some debunk video game company.

didnt he also use his pull as a redsox legend to get a massive loan from the state or city of boston to back his company as well? lol

[Royalty]

maybe fired for his tweet this morning.

He must have wanted "out" of that job.... cause a blind man could have seen that coming.

[Grape Ape]

Career OPS+ suggests you're wrong.

I'm no fan of Schilling, but he wasn't mediocre.

$1 million
Schilling, who made more than $115 million in a 20-year career, reportedly has a net worth of only $1 million and is in the process of being sued by the state of Rhode Island over a $75 million loan to his bankrupt 38 Studios video game company

What an idiot. Tries to start an entertainment and IP development company in this day and age. Like he can compete with Microsoft, Apple, and all the different video game consoles out there (Xbox, playstation, etc).

He would have been better off opening up a restaurant or something.

Curt Schilling is like another Zimmerman. Cant keep his mouth closed. Always getting in trouble somehow.

The game he made "Kingdom of Amalur: The Reckoning" did not sell well.

For the amount of money he put into the title, he would have had to sell about 4 Million copies to turn any kind of decent profit.

I believe he sold about 1.3 million.

In other words, he should have opened up a coffee shop? 

[Nails]

he would of made more money if he opened a dildo factory instead and sold his sex toys on amazon

[TuHolmes]

Probably.

He spent too much getting "names"

For instance, he had Todd McFarlane doing art and R.A. Salvatore writing the lore and creating the world it resides in.

Those are two high dollar people for that kind of stuff.

He could have spent 40 million, made a good game, sold the number he DID sell, and turned a little profit, then made the next game.

He just squandered the money.

I'm sure it wasn't ALL him either. He bank rolled it, but certainly the Producer of the game itself and whoever his studio General Manager was should have said, no way are we spending the money on those kids of  people.

It's ridiculous.

[robcguns]

The guy is right.shouldnt have deleted it.if you say it then you mean it,stick to your guns.

Hope his daughter becomes a serial mudshark.
