"Curt's actions have not been consistent with his contractual obligations nor have they been professionally handled."
ESPN statement
ESPN said commentator Curt Schilling won't appear on the air for the next month in the wake of his anti-Muslim tweet.
ESPN said Thursday that Schilling won't be on telecasts for the rest of the regular season or the American League wild-card game on October 6.
The former star pitcher and "Sunday Night Baseball" analyst was pulled by ESPN from a major league game and the network's coverage of the Little League World Series last month after he retweeted a post that compared Muslim extremists and Nazis.
At the time, Schilling said he'd made a "bad decision."
I understand and accept my suspension. 100% my fault. Bad choices have bad consequences and this was a bad decision in every way on my part.

Schilling later sent an email to a sports media site about his Twitter post, causing a further uproar.
ESPN said "Curt's actions have not been consistent with his contractual obligations nor have they been professionally handled; they have obviously not reflected well on the company."
