“Since the documentary is regarding the 2004 ALCS, why would it?”

Documentaries can be wide ranging or very limited, but neither Schilling or I have editorial control over ESPN’s 30 for 30.

The makers of the documentary could have covered the allegedly bloody sock or not, and they could have covered his dealings with Rhode Island or not.

That decision is up to the producers and we all have the choice not to watch.

You haven’t answered the question. Why do you believe in a Soviet style purging of a previously filmed and aired performance based on a comment that rejects transsexualism?

Why would a documentary concerning the 2004 ALCS omit a crucial component as Game 6 of the ALCS?

That's like omitting Bill Buckner concerning a documentary about the 1986 World Series.

The makers of the documentary could have covered the allegedly bloody sock or not, and they could have covered his dealings with Rhode Island or not.

Again, why would a documentary cover his dealings if the topic is about the 2004 ALCS. Is the documentary about Schilling himself?

That decision is up to the producers and we all have the choice not to watch.

Watching it is irrelevant. The question is why his mentions were omitted considering Game 6 was crucial in the 2004 ALCS.

Your argument is thoroughly specious. Documentaries on sporting events are not about players’ TAX filings.

Claiming latitude in editorial content stretches the boundaries of common sense. Have you ever worked in television production? The last thing on the mind of a sportswriter covering an event is personal taxes. Maybe when writing about contact negotiations, but NOT on a game or series.

Whatever axe you have to grind, feel free to grind it, but you’ll have to find a more convincing method of persuasion.
