Sarah Palin sticks up for Curt Schilling, tells ESPN to “stick to sports”

Curt Schilling

FILE - This Aug. 3, 2012 file photo shows former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling smiling after being introduced as a new member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame before the baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park in Boston. Schilling might have to sell the famed blood-stained sock he wore during the 2004 World Series to cover millions of dollars in loans he guaranteed to his failed video game company. Schilling, whose Providence-based 38 Studios filed for bankruptcy in June, listed the sock as collateral to a bank in a September filing with the Massachusetts Secretary of State.

Curt Schilling has had a bad week, but even he doesn’t deserve this: Sarah Palin coming out, firing with both barrels in defense of him and against ESPN.

On a Facebook post she ranted about ESPN suspending Schilling. It’s as entertaining as always. I’m glad she never became Vice President, but God love that woman for the amusement she has so often provided. I was particularly enamored with her close, which is near and dear to my heart as people tell me this all the time:

By denying the accuracy of Schilling’s tweet, ESPN shows its weakness as it buys into the propaganda of ISIS and other terror organizations, helping mislead the public about the very real threat of terrorism. It shows once again that ESPN would rather concentrate on liberal global politics instead of report well on our beloved sports.

From those of us who used to LOVE the network (to the point of addiction, some would confess!), I say to ESPN - you are awful in this. Stick to sports.

“Stick to sports.” Always a winner. But in this case, probably good advice! For Schilling anyway. For if he had stuck to sports, he’d be calling Sunday Night’s Cubs-Dodgers game.
