If Schilling felt he was discriminated against( and he has some proof he was from his statement) he can always sue ESPN.

Exactly. Maybe being a homophobe is bad for the bottom line.

With perhaps one exception, I haven't noticed anyone argue that ESPN didn't have the right to fire Schilling.

The interest is more how fair [don't liberals like 'fairness'] ESPN is in applying its policies.

In those previous discussions I referenced, there was never any question about whether a firing was fair.

Thank for admitting you are just trolling everyone here.
Trolling? How? Can you prove no one has ever been wrongfully terminated?

...Didn't think so.

Based on WHAT?

ESPN has so far NOT cited the specific contract agreement specification that Schilling supposedly violated.

Guess why that is...?

Schilling has an employment contract. That's a legal contract. Specific terms of the contract had to have been violated, otherwise he's been wrongfully terminated. Note that ESPN has so far FAILED to cite the specific terms of Schilling's contract that he "supposedly" violated.

I know the contracts I draw up, include a clause for breaking the contract(which is always a fair 2 way street, working both ways) 5x's the original contract price.

If I, or the other party involved in the contract break, it there is a substantial monetary penalty. I also have an early completion clause.
