ESPN Fires Curt Schilling for Anti-Transgender Comments
Variety ^ | April 20, 2016 | Alyssa Sage

“A man is a man no matter what they call themselves,” read Schilling’s comment, which he apparently posted in response to a photo about a recent North Carolina law that restricts transgender people’s access to bathrooms and locker rooms. “I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”

ESPN issued a statement on Tuesday, saying “ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated...”

WEll ESPN has every right to fire Schilling for going public that they feel will offend their customers.

BY the same token I have every right not to watch their swill.

Curt was dong his usual spot on WEEI boston today and the social media outrage over his comment was brought up:

Women in the NFL making as much as men. Change the rules so women don’t get hurt. It’s only fair. And use the same locker room, of course.

I am a lifelong Yankee fan who now regards Schilling as a major hero. Go Curt go! I also note that he named his beloved pooch “Gehrig” and respects Larrupin’ Lou above all other baseball figures.

Turn ESPN off and boycott sponsors if you don’t like this and tell sponsors why you won’t patroize them while sponsoring ESPN.

They’ve ruined Mickey Mouse too, sick of the fascists at ESPN, inclusion crap is a one way street. This wasn’t even an issue anywhere on the planet before the Obama became president. Delete all ESPN social media, aps and call your cable companies to get rid of the numerous ESPN channels. A good company for 25 years is now just like all the cities these progressive morons run. Target is in on this crap too, don’t shop there!

For liberals, inclusiveness doesn’t include people who believe in traditional/conservative values.

Got it.

Sorry, Curt, America doesn’t want the truth and will not tolerate those who speak it.

Schilling has said many times the only thing keeping him out of the Base Hall of Fame is being a republican and I believe him. ESPN is owned by fag loving Disney. So Christians, especially Christian republicans are an endangered species at LGTESPN.

On a side note, just want to say that the day the Os traded Schilling was one of the worst in franchise history. It took them ten years to recover from that trade. Losing Harnisch and Finlay too....

BREAKING: Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling fired by ESPN for talking about protecting children from sexual predators. This comes on the heels of Hall of Fame coach
Mike Ditka being fired by ESPN after the network found out he supported republican Donald Trump for president.

Obviously, the ESPN version of "inclusive," is not broad or tolerant enough to include sexually normal people who understand the importance of sexuality in the ongoing process of Creation.

ESPN "inclusion" theory is out of Alice & Wonderland or Gulliver's voyage to Laputa, and must not be judged by real world standards.

They are at best a very bad pseudo intellectual joke.
