There's a chance he wouldn't have been fired for this one issue, but it was the 3rd time he'd been in trouble. Considering he had been given two chances before, he was his own worst enemy.
Maybe. Who knows. He would have been reprimanded though and it would have been one of the 3 strikes against him if he already hadn't racked up the others.
The point is, what the other ESPN commentator said was much worse and was neither reprimanded or fired.
The point is, political correctness isn't about civility, it's about some groups, opinions and ideologies being protected at all costs (usually liberal leaning ones) and other groups, opinions and ideologies that are fair game.
Al Sharpton can go on TV and say some of the most racist things imaginable. When Keith Olberman was on TV he called Michelle Malkin a "mashed up bag of meat with lipstick" and there were no calls for his firing or for an apology. If a conservative said that about a liberal woman, there would be an instant sh * tstorm!
Political correctness pretends to champion civility but it's really just a pathological system that lets liberals dominate a conversation by labeling, demonizing and shouting down all opposition. It has infested our media and universities to where open discussion is dead and biased reporting and indoctrination dominate. Everyone who does not agree with liberal positions, is labeled as a hater, racist, homophobe, or some other pejorative. It often isn't enough to extract an apology either, liberals usually aren't satisfied until the offending person has been fired and/or publicly ruined.
..yet you could behave the same or worse toward someone who opposes liberalism, like Sarah Palin or Michelle Malkin, or you could be like the Black Lives Matter protesters who harassed white college students in the Dartmouth library last fall and cornered one girl, reapeatedly calling her a "filthy white sl*t" and the PC-police will be curiously silent.
Schilling, whatever you think about him or his opinions, is just another example of this dynamic.
Based on what? ESPN has still presented NO evidence of such.
Has CS claimed the firing was illegal ?
Sometimes the minority is right, so you may be a minority of one who thinks the firing was illegal based on ESPN not quoting the contract clause it used.
Maybe if ESPN does release the employment contract, CS can sue them for violating his right to privacy as well as an illegal termination.
Where does that blog cite the particular violation of Schilling's contract? It doesn't. It just "opines."
Put it this way. ESPN as do most corporations have employment policies that include inclusion based on race, sexual orientation etc. If an employee expresses anything discriminatory against those policies, in and out of the workplace they can be terminated. The fact that something is not a protected class among the Feds or a state does not apply to a private entity.
The more you speak on the issue, frankly the more you embarrass yourself. Quit while you are ahead.
ESPN hasn't yet claimed that it is. Note that ESPN STILL has presented NO evidence whatsoever of a contract violation specific to the terms of Schilling's employment contract. That, in and of itself, is very telling.

Then why hasn't ESPN cited the exact terms of Schilling's alleged employment contract violation?
You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about ESPN's supposed cause for action that even ESPN themselves aren't legally comfortable in stating.
Boy, I bet you don't see the irony of what you said, huh?
Being a victim of your own choices in life? Ever hear, " you made your bed, now lie in it."
They are not victims, they are idiots. Idiots that thought being a freak of nature would be fun, as long as no one called them out on it. Life does not work like that.
Schilling can pursue this legally if there's a case for breach of contract. It would be expected for him to get a legal opinion on that. But it's between him and his former employer - ESPN doesn't owe you an explanation.
Schillings choice was to be bluntly truthful. It would be different if he lied.
It was Curt's choice to be truthful with his words. Now, the limp wristed snowflakes, want to use force to silence the truth.
77% of the public agrees with Schilling, that the truth hurt more than lies ever will.
