“Some of the most racist things that I’ve ever heard come out of people that are on the air at ESPN. There are some of the biggest racists in sports commentating, and you take it for what it is. You know who they are, you know what they are. I like that they are openly because then you know who they are. You know that they exist.”

That sounds like an interview with one of Schilling's co-hosts!
"But I had people come up to me and go [whispering] ‘Hey, I’m with ya. I’m a Republican, too.’ It was like a deadly serious thing, like, we didn’t talk… like religion on the table was a much easier discussion than who you voted for.”
Well, he can be all of that and still make a valid point.
racism in sports (Stephen A Smith practically makes a living on this topic).
Schilling off-topic was waaaayy off anything remotely relevant to sports.
He should be in the hall-of-fame. I don't care what his political views are or if he's racist or just an asshole, he is a hall-of fame baseball player.
I do doubt he gets in though because the BBWAA is awful, even without the added ammo from Curt.

Stick a (fake) bloody sock in his mouth and tell him to STFU!
Yummmm. Taste's like ketchup!
Schilling is an example of this. I am not saying what he is doing is not stupid and hateful, but he is targeted and he probably right that a connected few hide their worldviews and bullshit behind a cloak of hypocrisy.

giant I think the difference is, Curt Schilling is a known bigot and racist, it was just the final straw. ESPN was looking for a reason to fire him and they got one. He should have been gone long ago. Kornheiser, by all acounts, not a racist.

Not sure how Schilling is a known racist. A lot of adjectives might be fair, but what did he do that was racist? His tweet comparing Muslim extremists to nazis? does that count as racist? Saying Hillary Clinton should be buried under the jail? or saying people with a penis need to use men's rooms.
is there something I am not aware of?

How exactly is Schilling a known racist/bigot?? Because he thinks Islamic terrorists are evil and men dressed as woman who have penises shouldn't be in a locker room or bathroom with young girls??

I think it fit a better narrative when people reported the Nazis comment to leave out the extremist part.

Schilling got fired. Koenheiser didn't even get reprimanded or suspended.
If that's the case, then Schilling knew precisely not to spout off his bigoted, fear-mongering views on his public platform. He doesn't have a right to work for ESPN.
Schilling is a racist hack. Anybody else who thinks differently, I don't know what to tell toy.

Again, what did Schilling do or say that is racist? I'm not saying he is or isn't, but I am asking what evidence you have? I have not seen any evidence of racism from him and it's 100% possible since I don't follow every single tweet or comment he makes that I just don't know about it.
Or is it just another...he's a Republican, he's racist comment, which make you look like a bigger idiot than Schilling, which is kind of hard to do.
Congratulations.
Neither was anyone who is currently calling someone "cracker". Or do you believe in original sin.? BTW, what about references to "Hymetown"?
Here is what I do not understand. Who cares who uses what bathroom. Men's room and women's room both have stalls with doors on them go in close the door take care of your business, sit, stand who really cares. The only time I ever saw a woman stand and urinate I was in McSorley's in NYC. The line was ridiculous for the ladies room and she was standing right next to me hitting the urinal better than me. I am tired of all this BS over bathroom's.
Nobody's defending what Schilling did. But that doesn't mean he can't make a valid point.
No, it's not cool, it's just simple human decency. I, for one, have sympathy for black people, because they a) were enslaved for hundreds of years and b) are still looked down upon by millions of white people in this country. Racism is alive and well folks, don't act like it isn't or it went away somehow.

OK, sure. But again, if someone calls me a cracker, I don't really care. There's been no discrimination against white people, ever, in human history. If someone calls a black person the n word, they are a racist, and pretty much a terrible person.
That being said, CS should have been horse whipped in public for supporting W.
Tell that to the black Jews? The Hispanic Serbs or Croats?
Every race has been discriminated against. Often.
Surely you jest.
In today's society, being labeled a racist is like 4th or 5th on the hierarchy of the career death knell:
1. Child Molester
2. Rapist/Murderer
3. Kidnapper
4. Wife beater
4a. Racist
It's irresponsible and honestly disgusting to toss the accusation around so cavalierly.
It's like we're back in 1690's Salem, MA.
Being an asshole or ignorant (if that's what you think Schilling is) doesn't make him a racist.
This has less to do with Curt Schilling than it does the people who use their own prejudices to judge people.

One could also ask why does it matter so much to the man who identifys himself as a woman to have to use the women facilities? If we are to assume that he is mature enough, and in touch with himself enough to understand those feelings enough to act on them, then wouldn't he be mature enough to also understand that there is likley plenty of children, young girls and even women who wouldn't as easily identify with a strange man as being a women and be uncomfortable changing with him in a locker room or using the same bathroom?
If he identifys himself as a women good for him but I'm sure it took him many years working through it to come to the point to where he is now in acting on that and I don't see why he can't simply be the bigger person and be gracious enough to simply change in a mans locker room. If I was in a locker room and saw some guy in drag changing I couldn't care less, but I think it would upsetting to my nine year old daughter if she was faced with it.
That being said, CS should have been horse whipped in public for supporting W.
It's like we're back in 1690's Salem, MA.
Or the hearing room of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee of Investigations in the early 50's.
What has he said that makes him a racist? Be specific and use his quotes.
So you are using your un-proven prejudices based on limited information you have of someone to draw conclusions and intolerance about them, which is in essence the definition of bigotry.
as long you you're cool to wear that scarlet letter too, feel to toss it around yourself.

If Shilling chooses to post a childish picture that his employer believes could offend people and therefore reflect poorly on their brand they have every right to fire him.
They obviously don't feel Kornheirser crossed that line.

His former employer thought he was hurting their bottom line by making statements that would offend large parts of their audience and reflect back on them. So they terminated him well within their rights.

Absolutely. I mean, I think Kornheiser crossed the line, but lines do have a certain element of fluidity to them, even for ESPN. But come on, this is ESPN we're talking about; it's not like you can apply common human standards here. The salient point is that it is their absolute right.
Bill, and you may be absolutely correct in that Kornheiser did as well. The thing is even if one assumes that they have chosen poorly they have the right to make all kinds of poor decisions themselves on behalf of their business. Maybe they shouldn't have fired Shilling, maybe they should have fired both of them, who really cares? They are the ones that must live with their decisions, just as Shilling now has to with his.
1. Has had issues with Latino players as a result of mimicing an accent "baseball been berry, berry good to me".
2. He collects Nazi memorabilia - not a crime, of course.
3. Has had issues with Muslims (comparisons to Nazis, suggesting land mines as prayer mats);
4. Has supported the confederate flag on social media;
5. Every Yankee fan was 100 percent right about this assbag;
I suppose we don't know for certain what is in his heart, but bigoted, insensitive and intolerant seem reasonable starting points.

No I got that, I guess I was just expounding on it all because I just doesn't understand why so many people seem to miss the heart of the whole thing.
It's a business decision right or wrong agree with or not. Everything else becomes noise.

"We don't want the Irish!"
Let’s make one thing clear right up front. If you get offended by ANYTHING in this post, that’s your fault, all yours.
And for you people too dense to understand this one very important thing. My opinion, 100% mine, and only mine. I don’t represent anyone but myself here, on facebook, on twitter, anywhere.
The meme the world decided to rally behind that I posted months ago. The meme that some of you clowns and more of you spineless looking to be offended folks turned into something it was not. Every one of you gutless cowards, when ‘calling me out’ or calling me a racist, every one of you left out the only word in that entire meme that mattered. You had to, otherwise you’d have had to go elsewhere to find offense and create something out of nothing. Let me help you now. All of you fraudulent media folks, you lazy ass “don’t actually want to work for a story” clowns. The word you left out? the ONLY word that mattered? EXTREMIST. That word being omitted creates two completely different posts with two very different meanings. I don’t dislike or hate Muslims, or people of the Islamic faith. Ask my friends that are both. But then again you all knew that, but when you omit the word extremist you create a person that doesn’t exist and have a story with traction, even if it is a complete lie.
This latest brew ha ha is beyond hilarious. I didn’t post that ugly looking picture. I made a comment about the basic functionality of mens and womens restrooms, period.
See here’s the thing. I do NOT care what color you are, what race, what sex, who you sleep with, what you wear. I don’t care and I never have. I have opinions, but they’re just that, opinions. And opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and they usually stink.
You know how I know you ‘offended’ people are full of crap? Because I’m not even close to any of the things you so desperately want me to be, so you can whine.
I’m loud, I talk too much, I think I know more than I do, those and a billion other issues I know I have. Like everyone one of you I have flaws, but I’m ok with my flaws, they’re what make me, me. I thank the Lord for the life I’ve been given. A life interspersed and occupied by men and women who are gay, by people of all races and religions, by men and women who dress as the other, by men and women who’ve changed to women and men. Not one decision I’ve ever made about a person has anything to do with those things I just mentioned, nor will it ever.
You frauds out there ranting and screaming about my ‘opinions’ (even if it isn’t) and comments are screaming for “tolerance” and “acceptance” while you refuse to do and be either.
YOU’RE the ones making it the issue. I don’t care, if you ask me about any of the topics it’s likely (much to the chagrin of many) I’ll answer with my opinion.
There are things I have deeply held beliefs in, things I have that are core to who I am, things I am passionate about. If you ask me about them it’s likely I’ll give you a passionate answer, whether you like that answer or not is completely up to you. I am not going to give you answers to make sure you like what I say, let the rest of the insecure world do that.
But let me reiterate, I don’t care who, what, where or why you are who you are. I care about people and how they treat others. You will NEVER in your lives find a single person who’s met me/knows me who would ever say I treated them as anything other than a human. None.
Wouldn’t you assume that all of you offended folks would have heard of me treating people the way you needed me to treat them, to be what you so desperately want me to be?
If people want to create stories or impressions where there are none, and you want/need to get offended by them that’s on you.
But for now, if you want to be offended and have that offense be by something you THINK you interpreted or you THINK you heard, go for it.
But for the love of God stop making crap up, it’s boring and it’s stupid and there are actual causes that need attention such as homeless veterans and our archaic education system.
Two benefits of this I didn’t forsee. 1) Twitter has made their “Block” far easier to use 2) You find out who your friends are when folks create crisis about you, that actually aren’t.
I appreciate the general civility on the polarizing topic, but I'm going to get back to work and be distracted only by draft stuff.
"Its said only 5-10 percent of Muslims are Extremists...
In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis, How'd that go?"
How is that racist or not even factual?
It is when a dishonest press and PC police restate it that Schilling compared all Muslims to Nazi's dropping the extremist part.

giant, just stop. The picture had the word ONLY in big capital letters, with red lettering. And also, it just wasn't factual. 10% of muslims are not extremists. Not even 5 percent are.

Another keyboard tough guy hurling the most ugly name possible - "racist". It's ugly to ignorantly call someone a racist without basis because racism itself is so ugly. When you do it just because Schilling ain't the bleeding heart liberal you are it's plain irresponsible and wrong.
Others have pointed out the double standard at ESPN AND Schilling was exercising a protected right on his Facebook page. Yes, ESPN has the right to fire him and we have the right to call out ESPN as the left-leaning, PC insane organization that it is.

"With the terrorists, you have to take out their families," Trump said during a "Fox & Friends" interview.
He argued that such tactics were necessary because the terrorists claim to not care about their own lives.
"When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families," he repeated. "They care about their lives, don't kid yourselves. But they say they don't care about their lives. You have to take out their families."
This is what the man said. Looks to me as if he is calling for attacking civilians and he has the support of more than 8% of America. Who cares about facts though. Easier to just ignore them and bash/hate Muslims.

Not to put too fine a point on it but our RYAN is misguided. Bigots don't routinely try and make it a left vs right, observers do. It's accurate and fair to label liberals when you find them and their views, in spite of their tendencies to run from the label. Their cries of "bigot" is merely more name calling and sand in the face of those that have correctly called them out. "Bigot" is nothing more than their attempt to smear and silence those that they disagree with.
