According to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), ESPN made the wrong decision by dismissing baseball analyst Curt Schilling after he argued that transgender individuals should use bathrooms that conform to their birth sex.
“ESPN fired Curt Schilling for making the rather obvious point that we shouldn’t allow grown male adult strangers alone in a bathroom with little girls,” the Texas senator said in a Thursday interview on Glenn Beck’s radio show. “That’s a point anyone who is rational should understand.”
Schilling was fired Wednesday night, days after sharing a meme on Facebook that showed a man wearing a wig and tight women’s clothing with the caption: “Let him in! To the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow minded, judgmental, unloving, racist bigot who needs to die!!!”
Like Schilling, Cruz sees opposition to this meme and to so-called “bathroom bills” as a result of unchecked “political correctness.”
The evangelical Texas senator warned that allowing transgender people to use the public restroom of their choice could allow “repulsive perverts and criminals” to enter bathrooms with “little girls.”
Beck enthusiastically agreed, saying that if the “bathroom bills” can “save one little girl from being molested by a heterosexual pervert, we should do it.”
Was this shared on the guy’s own facebook account? If so, as mean-spirited as the meme may be, seems a bit heavy handed to fire him.
Ted, you are a disgusting POS. SOMETIMES it’s better not to open your bigoted, homophobic mouth.
ESPN wants to be a sports, not a political media outlet. ESPN told Schilling and the rest of its employees not to make controversial or political public comments. Curt had already been suspended from his job for previous controversial statements and knew termination was a possibility if he refused to abide their rules. He decided to not abide their rules after being warned, his firing is not heavy handed or unexpected.
CaN THE GaY GEt tHEIR OWn bathroom? I’m WEIRDEd OUT That THEY aRE LOOKING at MY PeniS.
Of course he did.
What did you expect from a Theocratic Fascist who is busy fleecing the Religious Rubes to get elected?
He is CONVINCED that God created him to be President, and he has convinced a lot of idiots that is true too, reality be-damned.
This is just an easy thing for him to say to ingratiate himself deeper with the End-Timers and those for whom the 20th Century was just too much too fast.
Sad really.
