Who cares? That's his opinion and that's the beauty of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech isn't always going to make people comfortable, freedom of speech isn't always going to make people happy, it may offend and angry people, it's supposed to open up a topic of debate, create conversation, ideas, thoughts. When you take that freedom of speech away from a particular group of people, then it becomes fascism. I am a liberal or at least align myself with liberal thoughts (with some conservative ideas when it comes to guns) but the liberal agenda is no more liberal. It's the regressive left, they've gotten so drunk with power that they're becoming the same people who used to complain about being oppressed by. It's like the regressive left has a chip on their shoulder and want to oppress those they've felt oppress by. Disgusting.
Free speech does not always apply in the workplace. You publically talk bad against your boss or fellow employees there is a good chance you get terminated.
Again, Curt Schilling is a good man. He was a great baseball player, a hard nosed gamer. He's been a winner at every stage of his life.
This is absolute BS and does not change my opinion of the man. Anyone who changes their opinion on Schilling over this is a spineless turd.
No doubt Curt Schilling was a great competitor, one of the best post season pitchers ever, but my opinion of him changed back in 1993 due to the way he conducted himself during the NL Championship Series. Curt has a history since then of running his mouth and does not have many freinds from within baseball, from the front offices right down to former team mates.
And anyone who thinks this is a first amendment issue really doesn't understand the first amendment.
Bingo. Couldn't rep you again, yet.
When you are an on-air "personality" for a major broadcasting company, your comments - even "off the clock" - are VERY often associated with your employer. Rightly or wrongly, that's reality.
I'm sure ESPN has employee policies around this kind of thing - almost every big company does.

Yep. There's a saying that you can like Sinatra's music without liking Sinatra the man.
Schilling is a loudmouthed conservative fraud who has a history of his arse writing checks his mouth can't cash (Just ask Rhode Island)
Schilling is not denied his own free speech, he is free to make as many derogatory posts on his FB and Twitter accounts that he wants to. As far as I know, he now has all day to do it.
OH BOY. A liberal Muslim sympathizer, no surprise. By the way, Muslims LOVED the Nazi's because the Nazi's hated Jews. And (radical) Muslims hate Jews and anyone else who aren't Muslim, so yeah, they are Nazi's. They DO NOT promote the things you love about being a liberal. LGBT rights? NOPE. Women's rights? NOPE. Having opposing views of Islam? NOPE. I bet you would love to house a group of ISIS members over Schilling.
That's quite possibly the silliest, most illogical, and utterly incomprehensible gibberish in this entire thread. The fact that I consider Curt Schilling a loudmouthed bigot does not mean that I am a "muslim sympathizer" (whatever the hell that even is), much less that I want to invite ISIS over for dinner.
Your whole post is crazed, nonsensical rantings and ramblings. Is your thinking that crazily irrational on every topic, or is just something about muslims that makes you incoherent?

I doubt anyone changed their opinion on the jerk, because most people on Planet Earth already couldn't stand him. "A good man?" That's the best laugh I've had all night. Everywhere he went in baseball he left behind him a long trail of people who couldn't stand him and weren't the least bit shy about telling everyone who'd listen what a terrible human being he was. I followed baseball very closely for many years, and you're probably the first person I've ever seen call that reptile a "good man."
