Nope, only the maggot PC-correct idiot ones. :)

Actually I disagree with this statement 100%. MOST other companies wouldn't fire someone for that Facebook post.

I have in the past 30 months constructed a local business network with 11 business owners and for at least 10 of them - an employee posting online, endorsing and/or post-haste defending a tweet like Schilling's would result in a termination.

That of course presuming said online post/tweet were seen by more than a few hundred people.

One of our owners would likely view Schill's post as hilarious but we can cut him some slack since he's a damn good tree man and also a great source for killer weed

Damn Good Tree Man and great source for killer weed

are the same thing.

Redundant ^^^^^^.

Which, in England means: "Fired!!"

and being that this thread is about a guy getting Fired that makes this post here the most On Topic post ever. In the whole history of the Internet.

ESPN care most importantly about its bottom-line. What about that don't you people get? He was making too much noise and wasn't worth keeping him around. Turning this into a political agenda is quite short-sighted. But again, that's what people on this forum tend to do...overreact.

Most companies have a Social Media policy that covers situations like the one Schilling created. Although unlikely, it is possible for an employee to get fired for these type of comments, especially in right to work states. It is more likely that a prospective employee would not be hired for making those comments. Many HR departments monitor social media before they hire new employees.

Covering topics such as "what to do if you face an active shooter" and "acceptable social media behavior" situations makes you realize that it is a new day in writing employee training manuals.

Just glad FB wasn't around when I got hired for my 1st job.

Dude, come on now, you're just trolling.

You own a business that's been established to make money. That's all you want to do is make money. Your employee (well known company and well known employee) is posting memes comparing Muslims to Nazis thus causing public outrage and anger. People are now protesting your company.

You're perfectly ok with that huh?

SAS is awful and should have been suspended/fired long ago. One big difference between Schilling and SAS is $$$$. First Take is absolutely the worst show on TV, but for some reason people watch it (probably mouth-breathers like RXers) and it makes $$$. ESPN cares about revenue over everything else, and Schilling is easily replaceable. That, and I think management told him to stop posting dumb shit, and he kept doing it. Going against the directives of your superiors is not going to be good for your career.

It was hardly a "ponzi stock scheme." He was trying to build a startup company, and it didn't work. It happens all the time
in this country.

Steven A Smith is comical. A homeboy that tries to talk intelligently is always comedy. And then you have Skip Bayless who has never seen a black guy he doesn't love. They kinda join together for a black cause charity. It is expected from ESPN. They love the homeboys. That is why they often pair a rinourous pig who cant put a sentence together like Marcellus Wiley with a hot blonde. But wait, he can't understand subject- predicate agreement that you learn in grade school but I am supposed to believe that Ivy League degree is real? Yet how many NFL players come from Columbia? I rest me case your honor.

Everywhere I read in the news, there’s talk of another school or gym or business that is boldly adopting “progressive” new locker room policies designed to create equal rights for people who identify as transgender. These policies allow transgender individuals to use the locker room consistent with the sex they identify as their own, regardless of anatomy.

While some have proposed a third option for transgender people (single-occupancy restrooms and showers), this option has been largely struck down, and employees are prohibited from suggesting it, as it is considered discriminatory and emotionally damaging to a group of people who are working so hard to fit in. The solution? Anyone can use whatever restroom he or she wants without being questioned.
...
I read these reports, and my heart starts to race. They can’t be serious. Let me be clear: I am not saying that transgender people are predators. Not by a long shot. What I am saying is that there are countless deviant men in this world who will pretend to be transgender as a means of gaining access to the people they want to exploit, namely women and children. It already happens. Just Google Jason Pomares, Norwood Smith Burnes, or Taylor Buehler, for starters.


While I feel a deep sense of empathy for what must be a very difficult situation for transgender people, at the beginning and end of the day, it is nothing short of negligent to instate policies that elevate the emotional comfort of a relative few over the physical safety of a large group of vulnerable people.

Don’t they know anything about predators?

^ No, no they do not.
It is all a big laugh "protect the bathrooms, LMAO!!!" say the people with no children...

Here go conservatives ......pushing scary stories. Maybe they will make some up again like the woman who had an abortion because she didn't wanna have a boy.

Let the make believe stories begin!!!

Everytime something happens that conservatives don't like, the start inventing bullshit to scare everyone to think like them.

Please point to an example of "bullshit" being "invented" here, idiot.

Go right ahead, I can't wait to read all about it.

^What stupid looks like.


[h=1]Man Disguised as Woman Recorded "Hours" of Mall Restroom Video: Investigators[/h]

[h=1]Cross-dressing man arrested for exposure at Walmart[/h]

[h=1]Police: Man in bra and wig found in women's bathroom[/h]

I'm glad "conservatives" ended up "inventing" those stories.

By the way, I love the fact that this childless idiot has made 63 posts in a thread about trannies. There is an obvious key takeaway there.
