More precisely Curt Schilling actually requested that his name be withdrawn from the ballot for next year because he knew he had no chance to get in. He came close last year so why would he do this? Because of remarks he made about the “riots” at the Capitol building. He knew that an already liberal leaning group of voters would never tolerate what he said.
What did he say that was so offensive? It was a Tweet about the “riots” at the Capitol. According to Politico, he tweeted,
“You cowards sat on your hands, did nothing while liberal trash looted rioted and burned for air Jordan’s and big screens, sit back, stfu, and watch folks start a confrontation for shit that matters like rights, democracy and the end of govt corruption.”
Weird. That all sounds correct to me. He’s been making similar statements for years. These helped keep him out of the Hall before and even got him fired from ESPN. We can easily see why any conservative would be ejected from ESPN, but why the Hall of Fame? Because the people that vote these players in, “The Baseball Writers’ Association of America” are mainly liberals. They work for the liberal MSM.
There was at least one writer who had actually already voted for him, then tried to withdraw his vote after the Capitol comments.
Let’s take a look at what other AWFUL things he’s said over the years that have drowned him in hot water.
Here’s some provided by The Wrap:
“In 2016 “Schilling was fired from ESPN after tweeting this meme about so-called “bathroom laws” that bans transgender people from entering bathrooms of the gender with which they identify.”
Does that meme look familiar? Because we here have posted it ourselves! But he was attacked by the tranny-loving liberal hordes.
Next up:
Another familiar meme that we’ve all seen and another instance of liberal hypocrisy. THEY call us Nazis all the time, but how dare anyone accuse Muslim terrorists, those who have killed civilians and our military alike, for what they really are. For fuck’s sake, they fought with the Nazis in WW2 because of their hatred of Jews!
Now comes a seemingly innocuous explanation of how the ‘Stars and Bars’ was designed.
I know just the image of that flag is just horrifying to libs, but where in there does it say he supports slavery? It’s just a description of the flag!
Then an attack on Obama, who he’s always been against:
This guy needs to be posting or even writing here, am I right?
And this might be my favorite. I’ve not seen it before because if had I’d have used it at least 100 times by now.
ESPN fired him for political remarks, one of his black co-workers, Jemele Hill made several anti-Trump remarks calling him a “white supremist, Nazi” etc. She only got suspended.
The usual liberal double standard.
And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Schilling was always a borderline Hall of Famer. But he only missed out last time by 6 votes. He might not have deserved to be inducted anyway because his stats weren’t THAT great except for the post-season. But after the reaction to his remarks on the Capitol “riots,” he knew what was coming and he beat them to the punch. He removed himself, not wanting any part of an organization who would shut down free speech.
Some would say, “Well he was just stupid in making such remarks and thinking there’d be no consequences.”
I say, “Bullshit!” This is America and he was exercising what seemingly will soon cease to exist . . . the First Amendment.
Ps –
Some of you may have noticed your comments being delayed. It’s because our commenting service has been sneaking into accounts of people that use their service and putting “offensive” words on the “do not allow list under the guise of “suggested words that should not be used. Knee grow, pussy, etc. ” I have approved all said messages and erased all “unacceptable” words from our site.
There will be no censorship here . . . unless you’re a perverted troll.
Carry on.
