TYT: ESPN Suspends Curt Schilling For Islamophobic Tweet

"Curt Schilling, a 20-year major-league veteran and current analyst for ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, is no stranger to giving his opinion on controversial and divisive topics.

This time however, even he realized he crossed the line.

Leave Curt (and Britney) alone!
