Make no Mistake: Schilling Fired Because he was Conservative

I get that but he also gives more insight than a lot of others in that position.

I think Mike and Mike is absolutely horrible because there is no insight whatsoever. And then throw in the fact they pretend not to be best buds just makes it even worse all while reading a sponsor every 12 minutes.

Mike and Mike are weak. Don't listen to them at all.

I guess Cowherd gives insight but I find him to be an arrogant know it all who doesn't know much at all.

Ive heard him on several occasions compare his radio contract negotiations to a star athlete contract negotiations.....like they are comparable. He reminds me of a geek that never threw a ball in his life.

I sent you a PM to pick the time and place and didn't hear back from you. I'd laugh plenty.

Yah, not ducking...but short term business expansion (next three weeks) is a bit unrelenting so my schedule tight.

Imagine we can definitely meet sooner than early June, but I do see those Seattle SeaMen are coming into play Rays at that time

 

[barman]

Count me in...

fuego a six month deployment down here at MacDill AFB....we would sponsor your grub solid if you scheduled a quick trip in....Fly SWA Tue-Thu, it's pretty cheap...build around Rays games and beach visits

If they fired him because he was conservative, why hire him in the first place? His views have always been very well known.

 

[Enfuego]

Count me in...

Let's do it. You guys name the time and place.

He wasn't fired for being a conservative. That's just conservatives way of excusing a big mouth idiot.

On Wednesday, former All-Star pitcher and World Series hero Curt Schilling was fired from ESPN for committing the grave thoughtcrime of suggesting that men should not be able to pee next to small girls. Here was the Facebook post that got him fired:

Schilling added, “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. 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 then fired Schilling, announcing, “ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.”
Asked about the controversy on local radio, Schilling explained, “To be in a place where people actually believe I'm a racist or I'm transphobic says to me that something has gone horribly askew somewhere.”
This wasn’t the first time Schilling felt the heat from ESPN for his political views. He got slammed for retweeting a graphic that read, “It’s said only 5%-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How’d that go?” Schilling added, “The math is staggering when you get to true #’s.” This was too much for ESPN, which had to step in to defend ISIS, and promptly suspended him from broadcast.
Schilling made the horrible mistake of speaking truth in a place where only leftist falsehood is tolerated – which is why I call ESPN MSNBC with spherical objects. Here are 5 people still working with ESPN who haven’t been canned:
1. Tony Kornheiser. Kornheiser still co-hosts his leftist propaganda sports program Pardon The Interruption with fellow approved opinionsayer Michael Wilbon, despite the fact that in October, he compared the Tea Party to ISIS – on ESPN Radio. Speaking with Huffington Post’s Howard Fineman, Kornheiser said of Tea Partiers in Congress, “Are they like ISIS trying to establish a caliphate here?!” No problem. Kornheiser was suspended for two weeks back in 2010 for ripping an outfit worn by Hannah Storm: “She’s got on red go-go boots and a Catholic school paid skirt…way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now. She’s got on her typically very, very tight shirt.”

2. Kevin Blackistone. Professor Blackistone regularly appears on ESPN; in 2013, he called the National Anthem a “war anthem” and ripped the “military symbolism embraced in sports,” explaining that it was “time for people to back away.” Blackistone stated, “You are conflating a war anthem with a simple game. And when you have military flyovers and all the other military symbolism that goes on in sports, I think, you’ve got a problem.”
3. Lou Holtz. Speaking about then-Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez, Holtz stated, “Ya know, Hitler was a good leader too.” No suspension. So, to be clear, comparing radical Muslims to Nazis is a no-no, but comparing a college coach to Hitler is a-okay.
4. Stephen A. Smith. Smith spoke about former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice beating his then-girlfriend, and stated, “We also have to make sure that we learn as much as we can about elements of provocation. Not that there’s real provocation, but the elements of provocation, you got to make sure that you address them, because we’ve got to do is do what we can to try to prevent the situation from happening in any way. And I don’t think that’s broached enough, is all I’m saying. No point of blame.” He was suspended for one week. Schilling suggesting that women be protected from men invading their restrooms, however, was a fireable offense.
5. Max Kellerman. In the aftermath of the same incident, Kellerman told a charming story about how when he was dating his now-wife, they were both drunk; she slapped him, and he slapped her back. That carried a short suspension. Kellerman is now back on the air regularly.
None of these people committed the ultimate crime: stating that men and women are biologically different and should pee in different places. ESPN, of course, also stumps for more coverage of women’s sports, which suggests a question: why not simply open up all women’s sports to men, in the name of equality for people of all genders? Or wouldn’t that comply with the logically incoherent leftist positional chart?
And so Schilling is gone, and leftism continues to force its way into every nook and cranny of our lives. Now you can’t even watch a baseball game without hearing about transgender propaganda. No wonder the culture has fragmented.

What's wrong with what Schilling said? I sure as hell do not want these freaks in either washroom but especially not a female washroom. I'm shaking my head at the moral decay of society. Hollywood is partially to blame. It's cool to ''come out'' nowadays.

Curt Schilling Fires Back At ESPN

A week after being fired from ESPN for stating his views on North Carolina's transgender bathroom law, former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is firing back at his former employer. During a recent interview the former analyst took shots at the political bias at his former employer.

"It was apparent to me early on that if you wanted to go off topic as a sportsperson, you had to go off topic left or you were going to get into trouble," Schilling said at the Breitbart News Patriot Forum. "But I had people come up to me and go [whispering] 'Hey, I’m with ya. I’m a Republican, too.' But they had to whisper. It was like a deadly serious thing."

Schilling also took a shot at what he claims is a culture of racism at ESPN.

"Some of the most racist things that I’ve ever heard come out of people that are on the air at ESPN. There are some of the biggest racists in sports commentating, and you take it for what it is. You know who they are. You know what they are. I like that they are openly because then you know who they are. You know that they exist."
