Curt Schilling out of ESPN job

I agree with his comments. It's crazy that you have to be PC these days or risk losing your job. America has become a nation of pansies. Pathetic. God forbid you voice an opinion and hurt someone's feelings.

No, it's totally fine for someone to publicly assert to thousands that not only are transsexuals dangerous but they'd be harmful around young girls. Oh, and that it isn't bigotry. It's not like trans individuals have a skewed enough rep as is.
We need more people to fight to defend horrendous opinions and conflate free speech with hate speech as some sort of lopsided, desperate argument!
Ugh, I miss the old days...

Trump said Jenner can use whatever bathroom he chooses not trumps building. I agree with the comments, somewhat, but this shit does offend people and Facebook is not private not matter how many people think it is.
The guy acted stupid.

I know right? We should just execute him for what he said. Or just make it so he can only work as a hot dog vendor from now on. That will teach him to share his opinion on his own social media page!

Perverts can now dress up like women for a chance to do some peeking in the ladies room. You know it's gonna happen.
Definitely going to be a pandemic. We probably shouldn't let them drive either. They could drive to places and peek at the ladies at the places that the ladies go, y'know?
"A man is a man no matter what they call themselves,” Schilling wrote, seemingly in reference to a controversial anti-LGBT law recently passed in North Carolina. “I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic."
Again with the penis obsession. These people are weird.

Freedom of Speech does not mean freedom from consequences. He's not going to jail. The government isn't doing anything to him.A private company decided to let him go. It might be to save face but that doesn't mean what Schilling said wasn't bigoted either
I agree, but I just..doesn't it sort of feel like these days people are way too sensitive? Am I alone in this feeling?
Originally posted by SurturI don't think people are more sensitive. I just think we are exposed to more now. I mean everyone has something they are sensitive about and as far as I can tell it's always been that way. We're just more aware of them.

Even the non-pc crowd has topics they hate and advocate for their feelings to be met. I do feel the non-pc crowd does tend to attract very bigoted followers at times.

It seems someone is always complaining about something and that every single world is studied and dissected by people.
Right. Facebook. I've said stupid things on Facebook, and it's not made me popular. I've not said anything transphobic on Facebook, but I doubt it'd be wise for me to do so. And if my work doesn't want to be associated with my views, so be it.

Who cares? He just shared an opinion on facebook.
There was a similar case when Andy Gray criticised female linesman for not understanding the offside rule. He got rightfully sacked.
As a public figure he should have known better before acting like a bigot, it' really that simple.
If he had said that he wished America would go back to separate black and white bathrooms as it used to be, because 'a black penis belongs in a black-only bathroom', would anyone here defending him now defend that?
What do penises have to do with race?
