ESPN Removes Game 6 (Schilling Bloody Sock) from Sox Documentary

[PatriotsReign]

I think Shilling is a terrible human being and ESPN was completely in the right to fire him but this is really really wrong.

Hopefully not supporting bathrooms based on whatever didn't influence your opinion because there are millions of people who aren't ok with it.

This is really a stupid thing to get upset about? Just don't watch it

It's more stupid to get upset with people that don't support multiple use bathrooms....in my opinion

It's just not an important topic

"Oh you libs are so intolerant of my intolerance a bloo bloo bloo. Sure I think entire groups of people don't deserve the same basic human rights as my own group does but you're the real racist for calling me out on it!"

It's totally ok to not be cool with anything and everything people want.

Take the woman that said she "Identified" with being African American. She's Caucasian and society will forever consider her Caucasian.

Who gives a schilling how she "feels"? No one cares how each of us feel but ourselves.

How we feel has nothing to do with how we're doing.

Another one of those "do (ex)players know how good they got it?"

If I had a job like Curt Shilling had, I would not take chances. I'd be old-school business and completely avoid hot-button issues like this one. Limit myself on social media. Keep my off-hours activities private, unless it's one of those things nobody can get upset about like Habit for Humanity. If that job was at ESPN, I'd really play it safe.

Still, ESPN did not have to Damnatio memoriae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The intended effect of this hate- and religion-based view is not to protect little girls using the toilet but to curry favor with old, out of touch bigots residing in a very backward part of the country, who adhere to a religion conceived in a very backward part of the World in a most backward time in human history. They are certainly free to believe in whatever nonsense they please, but rest assured, their way of thinking has already been virtually eradicated from the intellectual capitals of the Western World and it is only a matter of time (the sooner the better) before it is snuffed out in the hillbilly's (and Schillbilly's) own backyard.

Ahhhh! Godwin's law.

I think the author of the bill figured it was an easy way to get re-elected and did not think this thru.

Had this bill never been introduced, the social pressure in North Carolina would have encouraged transgendered people to use restrooms with a door. With the bill, it brings them out and made the intent of the bill backfire.

ESPN has big big problems.
1) Cable operators have had it with ESPN's excessive fees on too many channels
2) American are dropping cable at an accelerating rate
3) The millennial demographic hates television

So….renegotiated lower fees with less subscribers and less viewership from the key demographic ====>> less money coming in to ESPN which happens to be Disney's most profitable division…..and less revenue at a time when…

4) ESPN is paying out massive rights fees to the NFL, MLB, NBA, College sports

In other words, the ESPN model has been turned upside down and it is no coincidence that high priced "personalties" are being jettisoned every chance ESPN gets .

5) Then factor in us long time sports junkies that who can't stand the arrogance of ESPN and purposely avoid the network .

6) Regarding their liberal leanings….and it is undeniable…..all I can say is "liberal media" has consistently been bad business and in this divided country, for a sports network to alienate a significant portion of the population with a liberal social agenda is business suicide….see MSNBC. CNN has just finally figured out (reluctantly) that center right is a better business model from a viewer and consumer standpoint. Why the Boards at these media conglomerates allow any "slant" is beyond me.

F**k ESPN……Get out Mike Reiss!!!!

Who watches CNN and MSNBC other than a few people waiting in line to board the plane at the airport?

I've noticed that more and more New England bars are turning away from ESPN when they aren't covering a live sporting event.

In all honesty, most people should avoid social media anyway. Pretty much only bad things can happen there.

Seriously?!?!? THAT'S why some people on this board are mad at Schilling?

It's one of those "how dare you say caitlyn jenner is not a hero" type deals?

I certainly thought it was a ballsy move by her

Thats not true unless you are a complete idiot without any common sense.

Society can consider her whatever they please, but at the end of the day if she has to pee, she can use the bathroom that corresponds to her outward appearance. We are not talking special privileges, like a scholarship based on her self-identification, just the right to urinate in peace.

Society, however it classifies transgenders (and this could really get complicated), should not be able to tell someone that genuinely lives their life as a woman that they have to go through the shameful (and potentially dangerous) experience of using a men's bathroom while made up as a woman.

There seems to be plenty of them, however.

For example: Professional(?) women on LinkedIn showing too much skin

Time for this beezbull thread to move to the beezbull forum where people talk about Bankofamericasox.

As bad as ESPN is, is it really any worse is in its particular pig pen than FOX, CNN, MSNBC, or the like are in theirs?

Likely only to Patriot fans because there is absolutely no doubt that there has been a wide-spread anti-Patriot agenda there. I've heard Reiss and Bruschi obliquely acknowledge its existence, despite being currently employed there. I've also heard Fauria, whom I acknowledge is a high school sophomore maturity-wise and an over-all general idiot, say it was fully evident when he worked there.
