Curt Schilling has always been an A-hole. And this won't help the state of Connecticut recoup any of that money it loaned him for his business which tanked.
I would suggest that one shouldn't invoke Godwin's Law if one wishes to protect one's financial well being.
Well, we're talking about the same genius - and avowed 'conservative' - who sunk his entire $50 million dollar fortune into a video game company, and the company went bankrupt. Oh, and he took $75 million dollars of Rhode Island taxpayer money down that financial black hole with him. Clearly, the very concept of fiscal conservatism eludes Curt Schilling, as does the fact that he's not a commentator for his insight but primarily for his celebrity. This is undoubtedly why his contract with ESPN, like every celebrity contract, is positively teeming with provisions allowing ESPN to apply sanctions if he says something that might harm their public image.
Maybe the whiners think Schilling is too stupid to have to abide by the terms of the contract he willfully signed?
I wonder if the OP was sniveling about Bill Maher losing his show in 2001 over his statements about terrorism? (not to mention the White House press secretary warning that Americans have to, and I quote, 'watch what they say'?) Actually, I don't wonder that - we all know the answer is 'no'.
People who prattle on and on about 'PC' this and 'PC' that invariably define political correctness as only those speech codes they don't like. The ones they do like, they insist - in as classic a case of self-absorption as we'll ever see - aren't really political correctness.
This is what the Phillies GM Ed Wade said when asked about Curt in 2000, right before they traded him.
"Every fifth day, Curt's our horse." The other 4 days, he's a horse's ass."
Seems he was right.
