"Some of the most racist things I’ve ever heard have come out of people that are on the air at ESPN," Schilling said, according to Newsday. "They’re some of the biggest racists in sports commentating.”

“You listen to Stephen A. Smith, and Stephen A. Smith was the guy who said that Robert Griffin didn’t play quarterback for [Washington] because he’s black," Schilling said after the show. "No, Robert Griffin didn’t play quarterback for [Washington] because he [Stunk]."

No surprise, but at least he had the guts to speak the truth publicly.

Mr. Schilling needs the advice, that when you stand before your Maker in judgment, none of those other people will be there to take the heat off you. Therefore, you need to concentrate on what you do, not others.

Mr. Schilling is a whistleblower that shows ESPN to be a one-sided judgment machine, that has turned what should be a sports channel into a propaganda arm for liberalism, with intolerance to opposing view points as a standard.

liberals are allowed to be racist, bigots, anti-this-that-and the other thing too- The main stream media is completely blind when it comes to liberal racism- but watch out if a republican is racist or a bigot

The vast majority of all people in the Entertainment Industry are about as RACIST as they get.

Like I said before, the most Vile, Racist, Bigoted people I have ever come across were either Black, Brown, or in the Entertainment Industry.

They should all shut up and commentate (on sports).

Another victim sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. He spoke. He was fired.
There is no proportion between the action and the consequences. He did not do his job improperly. He did not murder anyone. He spoke. He committed the unforgiveable sin: he said the truth.

I can remember Tammy Bruce making similar sorts of comments about that the most bigoted and homophobic comments she ever heard tended to come from Democrats and other self professed liberals.

You have got that right. Who are the only group of people that can say the N word in public without any repercussions. The entertainment Industry.

ESPN (originally an initialism for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is a U.S.-based global cable and satellite television channel owned by ESPN Inc., a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (which operates the network) and the Hearst Corporation (which owns a 20% minority share).

I can't go to the ESPN website anymore. The Disney influence is there. CBS Sports seems to work well. They stick to "commentating".

Smith, Hill, Jones, Wilbon are absolutely horrible race baiters and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

"No, Robert Griffin didn’t play quarterback for [Washington] because he [Stunk] underperformed."

Keeping it classy.

How can one forget that icon of correctness Howard Cosell calling a Buffalo Bill’s game back in the day, declaring on national TV “look at that little monkey go”!in reference to OJ Simpson in a running play.

And not one peep from anyone.
