Prompting media nonsense that he "compared Muslims to Nazis."
I’m glad I don’t work for ESPN, because I don’t know how anyone can understand the rules there. If you’re an on-air personality there, are you allowed to use your personal social media accounts to express opinions about non-sports matters? Yes? No? Or, as appears to be the case, are you permitted to do so as long as someone doesn’t arbitrarily decide after the fact that what you said was “controversial” and thus unacceptable? HTML5 video is not supported!
That appears to be the trap Curt Schilling stuck his foot in yesterday, and as an added bonus, you’re really in trouble if you say one thing but the media insists you said something else. It appears Schilling realized quickly that was likely to happen after he tweeted the following image, because he quickly deleted it. But too late. People who hate Schilling saw it and captured the image, and thus his trouble was underway.
You are supporting Jeb now.
ESPN used to be about sports. Now it’s about kissing the asses of homos/terrorists and racists - hope it doesn’t get a say in Olympics competitions....
The biggest crime that can be committed in today’s society is telling the truth.
Curt was right, and I wonder what will happen to Tony (Korn Dog) Kornheiser for his remarks. (So I pulled up this thread as a reminder.)
