Well there you have it, Curt Schilling finally got himself fired by ESPN.

After a series of controversial social media posts that included a questionable view on Muslims as well as comments that made many do a double-take it was a Facebook image post and subsequent followup that finally got the former MLB pitcher canned by the four-letter network.

So what was the post? First it was an image that disparaged transgender people followed by a comment that further disparaged a group of people who already get their fair share of shit from society.

Curt Schilling

Schilling followed the picture with this:

โ€œA man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I donโ€™t care what they are, who they sleep with, menโ€™s room was designed for the penis, womenโ€™s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.โ€

ESPN also released the following statement in the wake of firing Schilling:

ESPN is an inclusive company. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.

Iโ€™m not going to go off and call Schilling โ€˜racistโ€™, a โ€˜bigotโ€™ or โ€˜unlovingโ€™ as the meme suggest.

Is Schilling โ€˜narrow-mindedโ€™ and โ€˜judgmentalโ€™ though?

Yeah probablyโ€ฆ

To think any transgender person is using a bathroom (whether it be a menโ€™s or womenโ€™s) for the sole purpose of scoping out someone relieving themselves in a stall sounds pretty judgmental to me. Itโ€™s also that same type of narrow-minded thinking that prevents individuals from being comfortable enough to live their life in a way thatโ€™s true to themselves.

Curt Schilling can say whatever the hell he feels on his own social media pages. Quite frankly Iโ€™m sure the majority of the LGBT community couldnโ€™t give two shits what he thinks. ESPN however has the right not to have their network represented by some judgmental, narrow-minded fool.

Whoopsโ€ฆ it looks like Iโ€™m just another victim of some memeโ€™s anecdotal evidence.
