It has nothing to do with religion. He was fired for expressing his opinion away from work. It’s a free speech issue.
“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.
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.
Agree 100 %
Free speech includes repercussions. And sports announcers are never truly away from work. They always represent their company, their actions always reflect on the company, and the company can decide they don’t like how you’re making them look. Heck even non-public persona have that. There’s specific stuff I’m not allowed to do in social media (especially Linkedin) because my company doesn’t want any chance of my activity being construed as their opinion, and I’m just a QA engineer.
