ESPN edits out Curt Schilling from 2004 Red Sox ALCS video [View all]
urt Schilling was recently fired by ESPN in large part because of his frequent social-media activity, specifically controversial memes and comments shared by the former pitcher. So when reports circulated online that ESPN had cut Schillings memorable bloody sock performance in the 2004 ALCS from its Sunday airing of a 30 for 30″ documentary about that Red Sox-Yankees showdown, it was no surprise to see him weigh in quickly, and strongly.
Apparently Schilling also thinks that ESPN counts among the reasons Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had his four-game suspension reinstated by a federal court. But what set him off Sunday was hearing that the evenings telecast of Four Days in October, ESPNs 2010 documentary about Bostons stunning comeback from a 3-0 deficit against New York to reach, and eventually win, the World Series, was missing his crucial Game 6 performance.

Part of me thinks this is funny, part of me thinks this is petty by ESPN...either way, both are classless.
