ESPN analyst Curt Schilling's racist and homophobic ways have cost the former All-Star pitcher his job.


On Monday, just one month after ESPN announced it would allow Schilling to return as an analyst on Monday Night Baseball this season after he was suspended for a disturbing rant about Hillary Clinton, the former Boston Red Sox pitcher took to social media to mock the transgender community.


The sports network parted ways with Schilling on Wednesday.


"ESPN is an inclusive company," the network said in a statement. "Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated."
