cousinal111 57 Posted December 13, 2016 I know & I back them. That's not the reason I don't watch that channel though. It was awesome 20 years ago, nothing but a lot of loud talking headaches now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted December 13, 2016 As a Bears fan I don't want to hear Ditka ever give his opinion on football again. The guy just spews what comes to mind without much thought while people gobble it up because he won 1 super bowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted December 13, 2016 Did some research. Curt went above and beyond speaking his mind and was fired due to the public nature of his position. Ditka says he didn't want to travel because he's old n that's why espn pulled him from Sunday count down. The article I read w ditka didn't have much in the way of flaming political rhetoric though. Did I miss something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillygrrl08 139 Posted December 13, 2016 Was it for a reason similar to why Rush Limbaugh was fired? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marshall 98 Posted December 13, 2016 Does anyone know why Mike Ditka and Curt Shilling was fired by espn? Do some research you will be surprised. Kind of wierd reading what amounts to clickbait on this forum. All you lack is a dubious link. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 1,826 Posted December 13, 2016 I didn't give an opinion, i left that up to others to form there own, that's all the difference.Posting a link wouldn't be giving an opinion. From what I can tell Ditka wasn't even fired. The only article that comes up mentioning both of them was where Ditka commented about ESPN leaning liberal and then bringing up some of Schilling's comments. But it's apples and oranges even if Ditka wasn't fired. Schilling is a joke. He should have been fired for defrauding the taxpayers of Rhode Island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
