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.
