Curt Schilling Fires Back at ESPN Over Dismissal

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Curt Schilling didn't wait long to fire back at ESPN after his dismissal from the network over transphobic comments he made on Facebook.

"I'll always love talking about pitching," Schilling told Sirius XM's Breitbart News Daily host Stephen Bannon on Friday. "I thought I was good at it. But at a company where the rules are different based completely and solely on your perspective and your beliefs, it didn't work. They didn't like that."

ESPN on Wednesday fired Schilling from his role as an analyst on its Monday-night Major League Baseball broadcast following comments he wrote on Facebook.
