Back At It
Curt Schilling is back at it again and this time at the heart of North Carolina’s transgender law – basically all people must use the bathroom associated with the sex they were born with. Schilling then sent a tweet out, “LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die.” The tweet was accompanied by a hurtful image of a man dressed up as a woman – he was terminated immediately by ESPN.
Strike Back
Ray Rice, in 2005, was caught beating his wife on an elevator and Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN commentator said, “Let’s make sure we don’t do anything to provoke wrong actions, because if I come — or somebody else come, whether it’s law enforcement officials, your brother or the fellas that you know — if we come after somebody has put their hands on you, it doesn’t negate the fact that they already put their hands on you.” Although he apologized for his comments, he was suspended for a week and things only got worse when Michelle Beadle tweeted her thoughts on the matter.
