Curt Schilling Posts Offensive Facebook Meme, Invites ESPN To Fire Him

Curt Schilling can’t seem to avoid putting offensive and downright stupid things on his social media feeds, as if he’s a child who doesn’t know better. He was suspended by ESPN last August for posting a Facebook meme comparing Muslims to Nazis, and things turned another direction on Monday.

The anti-transgender meme that Schilling shared on his Facebook page has since been deleted, but if you’d like to see it go here to see the screenshot Deadspin captured.

Schilling also commented on a separate offensive image regarding the transgender issue with the following words:

“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.”

Schilling has already been taken out of the Sunday Night Baseball booth by ESPN. But that fall into secondary three-person booths (Jessica Mendoza has replaced Schilling on Sunday nights) was apparently not a wake-up call.

ESPN has given Schilling some chances to learn how not to post and interact on social media when you’re a highly public figure, and he hasn’t heeded any presumed warnings or disciplinary steps that were not made public. The only thing they can do now, on the heels of this latest big misstep, is fire Schilling as soon as possible.
