| ESPN Fires Curt Schilling Following Anti-Transgender Facebook Post |
| 2016-04-22 |
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- ESPN has benched Curt Schilling permanently. The sports network fired the former world champion pitcher following his anti-transgender post on Facebook. Schilling is a devoted family man and born-gain Christian. "ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated," the network said in a statement. Soon enough, our PC Government betters will find an additional use for the 8th Army shoulder patch. |

| #12 ESPN should stick to jock sniffing. Wonder what Erin Andrew's view is on peeping Tom's having free access to the Ladies room. |

| #11 He apologized for the picture, not the text, which mocked, actually, the PC police coming to the rescue of the "offended" transgenders. The problem is not the transgenders, but their "defenders", leaping to "SAVE" them, imagining themselves HEROS, red bathroom towels tied like capes to their necks. |

| #9 ...and it isn't anti-transgender, it is keep penises out of my daughter's restroom. The quippy fanbois stuff is in this write up as well. Benched huh, benched is still on the team though not playing. It is like everyone in the media is playing on that lip sync contest game. |

| #8 ESPN needed Curt Shilling more than Curt Shilling needs ESPN. Self promoting quippy fanbois who fawn over the highest bid sports agent client of the week. Not sure how many actual athletes are left at the TMZ of sports. |

| #7 Liberal free speech is a lie. It is a fascist agenda. Speak out all you want but it has to follow the narative. Otherwise we will destroy you. |
