ESPN ‘looking into’ comments Curt Schilling made to 610 Sports about Hillary Clinton

It started as an innocent radio interview about baseball on 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City.

Danny Parkins, Carrington Harrison and Rex Hudler chatted with former major-league pitcher/ESPN analyst Curt Schilling on Tuesday. Things turned to politics, and that might end up getting Schilling in trouble with ESPN.

Schilling was suspended last August for this tweet:

He later deleted the tweet, but ESPN removed him from baseball telecasts for the rest of the season.

Now ESPN said it is looking into Tuesday’s talk with 610 Sports, telling the Washington Post: “We are looking into it.”

After talking about the Royals, Hudler’s success against Randy Johnson and more baseball, the talk turned to politics.

“If you look at the past 20 years of this country’s history, I would argue that we’ve never been worse off, like, domestically and abroad,” Schilling said. “I think our standing globally has taken an enormous hit in the last decade. You look at the amount of people out of work — not just unemployed, the people who have stopped looking — it’s a staggering number. It makes the unemployment number a joke. I want somebody to sit in the oval office again that I trust.”

Schilling said that future of the country is at stake in the 2016 presidential election. Parkins then asked Schilling about the potential of a Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton matchup in November.

“If she’s allowed to get to the general election before she goes to prison I’ll be stunned and I’ll be upset,” he said. “Because I think she’s shown her true colors all along the way and I’ll ask you this: Do you see her being anything even remotely different than what we’ve had?”

Parkins asked if Clinton will go to prison.

“I hope she does. If I’m gonna believe, and I don’t have any reason not to believe, that she gave classified information on hundreds if not thousands of emails on a public server and after what happened to General Petraeus, she should buried under a jail somewhere,” Schilling said.
