Curt Schilling, Internet Embarrassment - The New Yorker


Well.... the guy's outspoken, I'll give him that. He may think the same way a lot of us do regarding some of these issues... but he committed the cardinal sin of not keeping it to himself, being a public figure and all.

Nowadays you have to tread carefully, lest you be accused of all sorts of phobias. There's homophobia, so I figure there's gotta be a term for phobia against transgenders. Trannyphobia, maybe? No wait... that would be a phobia against transvestites. It's all getting too confusing.

This issue about the public restrooms is weird in and of itself. Used to be that public restrooms were a place you could count on remaining the same. Go in... do your business in peace... and go back out and rejoin the real world. I imagine women felt comfortable in their bathrooms, probably outfitted with sofas for the occasional chat while they powder their noses and whatnot. Now apparently a guy who's in process of making himself a woman can wander into the ladies room and join the festivities. For us guys it's simpler. We go in, we go out. No meandering.... no needless conversation. But still..... What's the world coming to.

Curt's still the man, though. That "bloody sock" championship game was the stuff of legends.

Holy fuck this bathroom business has gotten completely out of control. I live in NC, I've heard both sides of the isle on HB2 but as a Libertarian I'm sitting here wondering "Why does there need to be a law for this? We have gendered/sex based restrooms and have had for damn near the entirety of this nation."


Plain and simple business owners should decide for themselves and their business whether or not to open up restrooms as unisex or cater to the 0.000001% of the population which is transgendered or whatever. It's their business and so it should be their choice ditto for Christian cake makers.



And as for Schilling specifically, ESPN is a company of cowards, bunch of politically correct assholes. They fired Rush Limbaugh for speaking the absolute truth about Donovan McNabb WHICH at the time he said what he did about McNabb the entire panel agreed with him. Sports is getting ridiculously PC, Andrew Shaw of the Chicago Blackhawks got fucking suspended for calling a player a "Fag"....in a game where literally punching someone in the face with your bare hands gets you 5 minutes in the penalty box...it is unreal the way people are bending over backwards to accommodate feelings....feelings of people who for the most part don't care about sports. I hate ESPN.

The homosexuals demand the right to express themselves and celebrate deviance. Alright, have at it, but allow others to express themselves, even if you don't like what they say. It's supposed to be a two way street. I'm gonna boycott Espn for not allowing Schilling to express himself. Homosexuals are becoming fascists.

It's the regressive left, complete totalitarian mob mentality with NO regard for differing opinions or respect for freedom of speech and assembly. Look at colleges and who young people are no platforming.

There are tenets of my thinking that have a lot of kinship with the left, but the leftism of uncontrolled borders, feminism and political correctness is abhorrent. It is an almost militant leftism and it is something that I find myself increasingly alienated from. I don't care about transgender toilets, don't think society has a right to control free speech, or that it is a positive thing to be a single mother, or that it's virtuous to let in people of different cultures who will breed 3.5 children. These things are getting silly now and it's like the dying days of Rome or something. Accelerating beyond all control into insanity and inevitable disintegration of the human race.
