ESPN fires Curt Shilling over offensive Facebook post... Lol!

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

ESPN announced that it has fired network analyst and former Boston Red Sox star pitcher Curt Schilling following his comments on Facebook about transgender people.

The network released a statement Wednesday saying, "ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated."

On Monday, Schilling, 49, reposted an image of an overweight man wearing a long blond wig and revealing women's clothing. It included the phrase: "Let him in! To the restroom with your daughter or else you're a narrow minded, judgmental, unloving, racist bigot who needs to die!!!"

Schilling added his own comments, saying, "A man is a man no matter what they call themselves" and "Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic."

Schilling was apparently referring to laws in several states that restrict bathroom access to transgender people.

Earlier Wednesday, Schilling defended the post on his blog, saying he was expressing his opinion and those criticizing him are frauds.

This isn't the first time that Schilling has been in hot water with the network for comments he made online.

The former "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 fall after he retweeted a post that compared Muslims and Nazi-era Germans.

ESPN said the tweet was "unacceptable," but kept him on board.

At the time, Schilling said he'd made a "bad decision."

Bout Time...Fuck Him

 

[slam]

fuck him & the sox`s...

 

[REDLINE]

He's too old to be doing dumb shit like that, he should've known one can't have an opinion and voice it publicly.

 

[jack walsh13]

Couldn't stand listening to his fuckin ass. Glad he's gone.

 

[XXXplosive]

Funny, he's been saying quasi-racist shit for years, but talk about trannies and he finally gets the boot.

 

[Confucius]

I dont like the guy either, but do you disagree with his logic?

 

[gene cisco]

Fuck Curt, fuck ESPN, and fuck the gay mafia. Fuck'em all...

 

[Amajorfucup]

Habitual line stepper.

 

[Mr. Met]

Fuck Curt Schilling, but consider this.

 

[Soufboy]

I dont like the guy either, but do you disagree with his logic?

I actually agreed perfectly with his logic. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a grown man going in the same bathroom as my daughter just because he "says" he's transgender. But as has been shown, the gay mafia is in full effect. You can't say one thing derogatory about them or you're crucified and labeled ignorant.

It's bad too cause Curt needs that money after losing all his trying to make that video game lol.

 

[Pworld297]

He needs that job doesn't he? He lost a lot of money on trying to create some video game right? You make good money on them ESPN gigs.

 

[SIDESHOW]

Good riddance. Needed to be gone a long time ago, and if this is what it took, then so be it

So you support the law forcing this trans man into the same restroom as your daughter?

​

That's better than allowing people to use the bathroom that matches their identity?

This, despite that there is no documented example of a grown cis man pretending to me transgender to use the opposite restroom?

It just doesn't happen. I don't think you've thought this through.

Curt Schilling is far too outspokenly backward for a respectable entertainment network to continue to employ him as if he couldn't be replaced.

 

[durham]

Joke is on Black people. All the shit shilling has been spewing against folks with more melanin than he could ever dream of, and THIS is what gets him canned.

So who really has the power in America??

How would someone know that is a woman in that cowboy hat?

 

[Art Vandelay]

How would someone know that is a woman in that cowboy hat?

They wouldn't. That person identifies as cis male and would use the appropriate bathroom. This law would force him to use the opposite bathroom. It's ridiculous.

 

[Dannyblueyes]

How would someone know that is a woman in that cowboy hat?

Exactly. And that's one of the biggest problems with these laws. Unless you're going to hire bouncers to card everyone outside the restrooms there's no real way to enforce it.

 

[The Pope]

Hell, he pushed the boundaries on certain things and this time the mothership had enough of his shit

 

[daTiger]

She nice

 

[Lexx Diamond]

Fuck Curt Schilling, but consider this.

Prime fucking example of the weirdos I don't want using the same toilet as my daughters.

That's been my contention the whole time. I have daughters and don't want some fucking dude in drag using the same lavatory as she does. So now I'm either going to have to go into the lavatory whether it be the mens/womens to stand guard while she uses the fucking toilet. Man I fucking cant stand faggots and this faggot loving society.

 

[therealjondoe]

Bullshit how would they know that's a female?

 

[Nochturnal]

Damn it Jack.....

 

[Problematic]

Ha. cats kill me w/ that "cis" bullshit...

The inmates now run the asylum

Shit is crazy.
I don't get it.
How can you identify with being a sex?
In your mind because you don't feel like what you think you are supposed to feel like as a female you think you are a man?
How would you know what it's like to be a man?
Idk lol

 

[godofwine]

I dont like the guy either, but do you disagree with his logic?

I don't disagree with his logic at all for the most part. The first time some woman gets raped by some cross-dressing dude in a ladies room people are going to say that they didn't see it coming.

Men are born with dicks, women are born with a vagina. They are an extremely rare population who was born with both - so technically there are three sexes... Technically... but more people have seen Haley's Comet than have seen a hermaphrodite. I don't give a fuck what you identify with, if you were born with a dick then you are a man. Now if you've gone so far as to cut that shit off a pass might be given for that to go into the ladies room, but I would not feel comfortable with my little daughter, niece, or whomever in a ladies room with a man or someone with man parts.

This is said in private, because there are too many sensitive bitches in the world for me to say this shit publicly. My cousin Raeshaan identified with boys growing up. She was a tomboy. She didn't play hopscotch , double dutch, or wear dresses . She played tag and she faught every boy and beat damn near every boy in the neighborhood. According to the bullshit logic of today she should be allowed in the men's room.

Bullshit how would they know that's a female?

They don't need to, that's the point! He identifies as male and the controversial law would stop him from using that bathroom and force him into the women's restroom.

your not answering me.
How would it force her?
Nobody would be able to tell.
she would be forcing her self.
Who would look at that and say hey lady your in the wrong restroom?

Well............all the stuff dudes say, around here that's manly..... and you feel that way.

I keep saying "would" because that is what the bill is supposed to do.

Yes, it is stupid and largely unenforceable. But not always. There are trans people who blend in well and some who don't. Nobody should be forcing anybody to use a certain type of restroom. Most people don't know they've shared a bathroom with a trans person but we probably all have. This just isn't a problem in our society.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Fuck Curt Schilling, but consider this.

Yep

You don't think someone as sick as rapists and child molesters won't take the step of dressing like a woman to get in the women's bathroom?

I think all of this is a bad idea

No doubt

This is why I wasn't tripping with that white bitch out in Spokane who "identified" as black...if people feel they "identify" as another sex and we're forced to agree with their mental instability then by that logic she should be able identify as another ethnicity

Matter fact, I think I'm going to start identifying as "cis-korean" and go through elaborate surgical procedures to match some of their physical characteristics and pickup on a few cultural nuances - then force people to accept me as such when I try to break into their hair product distribution network

What is to stop me from going into women's bathrooms from now on if I say hey sorry but I'm a woman inside? How do you think that would go over?
Matter of fact, what if I don't feel comfortable sharing a bathroom as a straight guy with gay guys?
How many bathrooms we gonna build?
Seems like the only solution would be Unisex bathrooms which already exist,and then maybe family bathrooms for people with kids.
Or everybody just shit at home

Now he can go be a conservative martyr
