The guess here is that Curt, who should be admitted to the HOF, will be denied as he is a staunch conservative.
They should remove voting for the HOF from the press because they are so hateful, political, and not objective. Let the fans decide.
The only way to be hellbound is to reject Christ's saving grace through the cross.
I am disgusted, but not surprised, by the judgmentalism of the tolerancists.
>>Yet can the Plaque Gallery, which already houses all sorts of bigots, miscreants and rogues — long ago rendering the ballot’s “integrity, sportsmanship, character” wording irrelevant — fully tell the game’s story without including Schilling?
I hear this about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame now and then. “Well Ike Turner should be taken out of there, so should Phil Spector, so should Michael Jackson, so should David Bowie and Led Zeppelin, so should Alan Freed, so should Chuck Berry, so should...”
Such utter nonsense!
I don’t know about what they accuse him of. I’m always suspicious of accusations regarding PCness.
I do know he was a great player, a brave player, and my husband knew him as a down-to-earth guy who interacted with many regular people through war-gaming.
If he’s that terrible, no HOF. But if it’s just some remarks? Who cares. HOF.
Yes he has actually made some conservative statements and was pro-Trump. The horror!
I could list many many Hall of Fame residents across several sports (Lawrence Taylor? Ty Cobb?) who had serious off-the-field issues. Why should Schilling be punished?
Did Schilling in fact call for the murder of journalists? Did he explicitly support storming the capitol building, or just support the rally?
