Schilling....please stay off of social media


So as expected, ESPN finally axed Curt for his trans-phobic Facebook meme/response.

And of course the morning guys at EEI held a candle light vigil and decried what is happening to the First Amendment and it's scary and blah, blah, blah.

First off, these are the guys that mocked Don Orsillo when he got fired for no reason but are up in arms about Curt.

I don't know if it's because he's a friend of the show or what but these guys just will go to bat for him no matter what.

I mean it's pretty simple.  You work for a company that leans left.  For fuck sakes it's Disney.  They told him to cut the shit on social media.  He didn't.  He got terminated.  Want to work for a company that leans right- go ahead -free to do so if they will hire you.

What am I missing here?  He's free to post whatever he wants- just everything has a consequence.  Now he played dumb (not hard for him) on EEI about it but he clearly knew what he was doing.  I would never advocate for anyone getting fired but I can't fathom why I would feel the least bit bad for him.

Also, this is a guy who hunted down twitter trolls who said vile shit about his daughter, outted them, contacted their employers and got them fired.  Had no problem with accepting praise on EEI about that.

Should the twitter trolls say that stuff?  Nope.

Were they dangerous?  Nope.  Just complete losers and Curt attacked them and made their pathetic lives more miserable.

Look- bottom line is this.  I'll always admire Curt for the bloody sock.  Amazing performance.  And at his heart I think he is a good guy that does a lot of work for charities.

But he is very, very, very, very, very, very dumb.

From 38 Studios (thanks for the extra tax bill!), to evolution, to memes, and everything else- he's just a stupid guy who could throw fast and pampered his whole life. 

Stick to baseball and charities.

Cue Clips Callahan- "freedom...."  Nothing in life is free.  Just stay the fuck off social media.  Who gives a shit?

He's up at 1 am dropping mother jokes on people.  I legit think he has a problem.  I mean, I can't imagine telling my wife, after blowing through my personal fortune (maybe) that I got fired from my lucrative job because I couldn't stop posting on Facebook/Twitter because it's my right.

So go to Fox 1, analyze baseball, continue with the charity work and cancer PSAs but maybe just keep your opinion to yourself.
