He wasn’t fired for commenting on the bill, he could have made a comment in support of the bill and that would have been great. He was fired because his opinion did not agree.
Freedom of Speech does not come with Freedom of Consequence. Employment at will. See ya Curty, and take your farkin’ sock with you.
ESPN needs to be smashed and burned for being Nazis. When you can’t express an opinion without retaliation from people who are supposed to mind their own d@mn business and just report on sports, then there needs to be some serious and potentially violent fallout.
A good lesson for everyone else. By the way now that he is fired who will hire him. Hope he has money saved up.
Related to this, Paypal has said they will stop business in NC because of the new law. I use Paypal and I have a lot of customers in NC (I’m also from there). I just emailed them telling them that if they cut me off from my NC customers, I will cut them off from me. Anyone else who has a Paypal account, I urge you to contact them with a similar message.
Also, as a means of protest, maybe bunches of men should gather in crowds and say out loud “I feel like I’m a woman today” and all go into the ladies room. That might get some attention.
In my youth, I “preferred” to kiss Farrah Fawcett, but settled for a girl named Lisa instead.
Use the Men’s Room if you have a Penis. Use the Women’s Room if you a Viagina. Seem’s simple to me. ESPN Management are stupid.
Hollywood’s Pinklist continues.
The “new mccarthyism” is homofascism.
ESPN is getting far too anal.
I do not disagree with Schilling on the issue, but I do take issue with the headline that states baseball legend. Schilling was not a baseball legend, a very good pitcher, yes. There have been a lot of those. Walter Johnson was a legend. Sandy Koufax was a legend. Pedro Martinez was a legend. Clayton Kershaw will be a legend. Schilling, just misses out from this category.
FR should have a forum for issues like this where Freepers can sign a petition stating we are now going to boycott idiotic businesses like ESPN for supporting perverted sick people and treating normal decent people like garbage
We needed it for issues like states fining Christian businesses for not baking cakes, for bruce springstein being an idiot about NC law- for NY being idiots about NC law etc-
There are enough freepers that we could possibly make a big enough economic difference that they would rethink things especially if the petition makes it clear that we will make it our priority to tell as many others to join the boycott as possible-
I would think a forum specifically for activist issues like this would be a good addition
