Curt Schilling’s relationship with ESPN continues to deteriorate.
The former Boston Red Sox pitcher was fired by the network on April 20, one day after he shared an anti-transgender meme on Facebook.
But regardless of Schilling’s politics, you can’t argue his Major League Baseball bio, which includes three World Series and countless other memorable memories on the mound, including his bloody sock game in Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees. And with the Yankees and Red Sox renewing their rivalry this weekend, it made sense that ESPN would air its “Four Days in October” documentary about that epic 2004 ALCS.
But, according to multiple Twitter users, Game 6 of that series was nowhere to be found in Sunday’s showing of the documentary.
Schilling heard about this apparent revision of the documentary, and he voiced his thoughts on the situation and Deflategate on Twitter.
And when someone tweeted #ESPNLIES to him, he tweeted out one final thought.
Schilling liked the hashtag so much, in fact, he added it to his Twitter bio.
UPDATE (10:35 p.m. ET): ESPN confirmed it cut out a portion, which apparently included Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS, of an airing of “Four Days in October” on Sunday.
But the reason the network gave had nothing to do with Schilling’s recent firing.
