Balta1701 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 In a headline so improbable it seems like it could only come from a “Seinfeld” episode, ESPN suspended baseball analyst Keith Law from Twitter for getting into an argument with Curt Schilling about evolution, according to a report. Last week, Schilling, who is also an analyst for ESPN, went on Twitter to discuss and disprove evolution. Schilling responded to many people arguing with him over Twitter, including Law, who tried to dispute Schilling’s beliefs.

Brian Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Saw this earlier. Makes no sense. Wonder if Schilling complained to management. Awful and unlikable talents. It's almost the Fox News of sports. I only watch when games are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 lmao how does Schilling (isn't he still employed by ESPN?) not get in trouble, but Law does? Schilling was the one who posted about evolution in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 ESPN says that Law's suspension is not about evolution but hasn't explained why he's been suspended, meanwhile Schilling has been tweeting about how awful protests in ferguson MO are, while Schilling is still an ESPN employee.

Dick Allen Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I am no fan of Keith Law, but that twitter comversation does make you understand how it was possible Schilling doesn't have a dime left of the $114 million he was paid to play baseball.

I've actively and happily avoided espn programming almost to the extent that I avoid dog s*** when I'm walking in a field or reality tv. It's bad. Luckily (except for when Kevin Millar's show is on), I get MLB Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 04:30 PM) Oh, okay. Yeah, he has strong history of being a fool. I did a quick google search after reading this thread and to no surprise there's plenty of material. He definitely has alot of ideas on certain subjects...unfortunately most of those arent informed with facts. Plus it appears he also doesnt like to argue with people trying to show him facts. He just isnt very smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
