Curt Schilling因為在推特貼爭議性internet meme被ESPN罰坐冷板凳
Schilling原定的世界少棒大賽轉播任務被拔掉
原因是他於推特貼的memehttp://tinyw.in/SC8j影射穆斯林=納粹黨
看到一個惡毒的留言:
這張meme非屬實。而且有鑑於過去他在羅德島的商業經驗,我無法預料到他懂數學。
Curt Schilling, who loves crazy-ass memes and being crazy more than anyone,
is getting a slap on the wrist from ESPN after tweeting a meme with the basic
premise of “Muslims = Nazis.”
ESPN PR just released this statement regarding Schilling:
ESPN comment on Schilling: 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.
It’s kind of weird that he’s getting kicked off of LLWS duty, yet seemingly
being allowed to stay in the broadcast booth for Sunday Night Baseball. I
wonder what would get him suspended from that gig. Maybe a post defending the
Confederate flag?
