It's official...I will no longer be thankful to Curt Schilling for his bloodied sock game...

[joeybee12]

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.

Schilling sent out the following tweet Tuesday morning from his verified Twitter account @gehrig38 featuring a graphic that compared "extremist Muslims" to the Nazi regime, then deleted it minutes later as the backlash and questions began to pour in:

3. Wonder if you change Muslims to Christians would reaction here be the same?

I have an idea...

How about screw all fundies?

6. He's always been a douche.

But a lot of athletes are.
As are many non-athletes.

7. Define "extremist".

There are over a billion and a half Muslims. Even the 5% figure yields over 75 million "extremists".

8. From failing to name names in congress despite bragging in the press about steroid users, to

taking state money and bankrupting his game company (and himself), to stupid talk like this. Curt Schilling is not a guy you can like easily. He was a great pitcher when healthy in his career. He'd likely be in the HoF if he'd stayed healthy in longer stretches. But the fact he really needs the dough right now is the whole reason he's announcing on ESPN because of his horrible money management tells you all you need to know. He needs that job and he can't keep his act quiet to do it.

9. ONLY now?? Did you forget about the fiasco in Rhode Island?
