ESPN has fired Curt Schilling. The company said that his speech went against company values because ESPN is “an inclusive company.”
What’s at stake here?

The reason the Curt Schilling case is important is because it is just one example of a very real trend in which Americans can lose their jobs, their businesses and their life savings for expressing the truth about the sinfulness of homosexuality.
It has nothing to do with religion. He was fired for expressing his opinion away from work. It’s a free speech issue.
Rights? Zip, nada, nothing. Conservatives and Christians are not allowed their personal private opinions lest they hurt the sensitive feelings of liberals.
ESPN is “an inclusive company.”
Inclusive? LOLOLOL!! As long has you don’t go outside their twisted belief system.
FUESPN
There is an answer to this consistent with limited government and conservative values. Crapcan ESPN, Target, PayPal and every other corporatist pig supporting this crap.
So then “inclusive” doesn’t include Christians. Doesn’t seem all that “inclusive” to me.
“It has nothing to do with religion. He was fired for expressing his opinion away from work. It’s a free speech issue.”
It is true that Curt Schilling was denied freedom of speech.
But this case is part of a larger trend in which Christians are targeted and sued, fired, boycotted, etc by those with a pro homosexual, anti-Christians agenda.
Do you seriously believe Schilling would have been fired if he had said something favorable to the side of the homosexual agenda?
That is EXACTLY right. What he says off the air is his business.
Burn those scum down for a hundred million dollars.
ESPN could have fired Schilling for telling someone that today is Friday.
But now that Schilling has been fired, the consumer is free to make a decision to not watch ESPN.
“Do you seriously believe Schilling would have been fired if he had said something favorable to the side of the homosexual agenda?”
No but if he did, his religion would have been just as irrelevant.
All persons are required to adhere to the moral teachings of the secular humanist established church.
Christians are getting fired for speaking against perverts and Donald Trump sides with the pervs.
It would not be hard to believe that ESPN has a vague/broad clause in its contracts that allows them to fire people for affecting the company's reputation.
And if the state in question is an employment-at-will state they do not even need that to terminate him.
Correct me if I’m wrong, the this whole thing started when CBS fired Jimmy ‘the Greek’ for saying that blacks are better athletes than whites because of their physical makeup.
He was stating what he viewed as a fact and was meant to be a compliment.
The perpetually offended pantywaists would have none of it and created this phony ‘outrage’ and demanded him to be fired. He was fired.
He died a broken man.
This cultural Marxism is pure madness. Madness has no logic, nor does it have a purpose really. But it does have a goal - to destroy. Complete and utter destruction.
We need to act accordingly.
I think the argument falls on deaf ears. You can hate Gays and Trannies all you want. But doing it as being an act of Faith leaves a pretty bad impression. Same with abortion.
Inclusive to ESPN includes rapists and child molesters
Which doesn't apply here.
I never saw the Schilling story on ESPN’s front page. They gave WAY more coverage to PRINCE than Schilling.
I’m not up to speed on the ESPN case. But note that the Supreme Court clarified in United States v. Cruikshank that only the federal government, and now the state governments though the 14th Amendment, are obligated to respect constitutionally enumerated rights. Ordinary citizens and employers do not have to respect constitutionally enumerated rights like the feds and state governments do imo.
Corrections, insights welcome.
