Curt Schilling is at it again!

Ex-MLB pitcher Curt Schilling got himself suspended from his duties as an ESPN baseball analyst for tweeting and swiftly deleting an image that vaguely compared Muslims to Nazis. But just a few days before Schilling announced he will return to the network for its postseason coverage, he shared the following post to his Facebook page.

The post, dated Sept. 24, was deleted on Monday, Sept. 28, but For the Win took a screengrab for posterity.

Well, see, Curt, it’s because not all Muslims should be held responsible for the acts of… wait, no. Let’s not reduce ourselves to Curt Schilling’s preferred level of political discourse.

As Americans, we all have the right to wrongheaded and ignorant opinions, and Schilling is entitled to believe whatever the heck he wants to believe. But if you’re hired to share your opinions — about baseball or politics or anything — in a professional forum but cannot help yourself from doing almost the exact same thing that just got you suspended, it kind of undermines your judgment.

And i still think he was a steroid cheat. His fastball got faster and his slider got more movement after he turned 30? Things that make you go "Hmmmm".
