He needed to be fired based on stupidity alone. If you are a celebrity and are employed by a network and you use social media as a canvas for spewing divisive political beliefs, you will be fired.

The post showed an overweight man wearing a wig and women’s clothing with parts of the T-shirt cut out to expose his breasts. It says: “LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die.”

To that, Schilling added: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”



this country is ******-up...

When did we lose our right to voice our opinions ?

"Just more fascism on the left.
And this is just the beginning – we'll all be labeled bigots for not bending our knee to the LGBT mob."

He didn't lose the right to voice his opinion. He lost his job.

Firing him is a sound business decision.

I can't stand Schilling, but where does this end ?

All he did was forward a post that he agreed with !

Time for a lawyer and a wrongful termination case.

Is this what America is now ?

When you work for a television/media/broadcasting company and sign on the dotted line, you should be fully aware that with that signing you are giving up your right to publicly comment on controversial issues. Schilling knew that, he just couldn't keep his trap shut. Just like when he endorsed Bush while a Red Sox player, apologized for it, and within weeks later was making campaign commercials for Bush.
