ESPN Fires Curt Schilling -- What About Liberal Offenders?
townhall.com ^ | 4/28/2016 | Larry Elder

Posted on 04/28/2016 8:12:11 AM PDT by rktman

ESPN fired baseball analyst and former All-Star Curt Schilling for mocking the debate about the North Carolina public facilities law. On his Facebook page, Schilling posted a meme (a graphic) with the picture of an aged and overweight man dressed in just enough women's clothing to prevent flagrant violation of public exposure laws. The photo caption read: "Let him in to the restroom with your daughter or else you're a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving, racist bigot who needs to die!" Under the meme, Schilling wrote: "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."

Larry, Larry, Larry. Have you still not realized that only conservatives can be guilty of offending anyone? Libs all live in a world where anything they say is correct and anything you say is NOT. And some folks wonder why some of the Trumpism resonate with people.

ESPN is what happens when you give a 24 hour cable sports network to the Daily Worker.

Must be. I don’t watch sports but I know millions do, yet I can’t believe they put up with this garbage-spewing network.

I enjoy sports but I will never watch them on ESPN again.

No...he didn't Larry. Someone else posted the pic on the same Twitter thread. Schilling did not post it and said so when it appeared.

I would not watch ESPN if you paid me cold hard cash.

Reminds me of an ESPN radio host who back in the early 2000s, told a caller that hockey could not be discussed on his show because “whenever I think of hockey, I think of some guy named Sven living in Minnesota.” It was, of course, met with laughter. Imagine if someone made similar harsh judgments about other sports.

Bill Clinton once said about cable news/ CNN......””They try to cram 20 minutes worth of news into 24 hours.””

ESPN is the same sort of thing. Trying to talk about enough mundane details of every aspect of every game just to fill time. I can’t imagine watching it.

I think a lot of those people who fall into the “millions”, don’t have a clue about anything that’s going on outside of the sports world.

What a silly title. Everybody knows there is no such thing as a “liberal offender”.

I'm not exaggerating.

If you watch the network for even a day it'll remind me you of sports coverage you'd find in a doctrinaire Communist newspaper.

ESPN Heads Towards Communism Like It's Another Cruise Port.

That's correct. Conservatives are "Extremists", Liberals are "Activists."

LOL! Eggs actly. And, I’m offended by that but being conservative, I have no recourse.

Can male employees use the women’s room at ESPN? If they can’t....why not?

“...sports coverage you’d find in a doctrinaire Communist newspaper...”

Reminds me of a dual track between USA and USSR...

Pravda reported, “USSR finishes SECOND!!! USA next to last...”

"A man is a man no matter what they call themselves"

Genetics 101.
X and an X is a girl,
X and a Y and it's a guy.

How can any rational person dispute that?
