Curt Schilling Continues To Sabotage Hall Of Fame Chances On Purpose
When you look at Curt Schilling‘s career, he’s undoubtedly a Hall of Famer. Between the numbers and the moments, he was the epitome of a big game pitcher who was headed to Cooperstown.
Except, it hasn’t happened, and with one year remaining on his candidacy, he’s not likely going to be headed there. The real reason why was Schilling was just unable to keep quiet.
There was his receiving multiple suspensions from ESPN leading to his eventual firing. There has been his posting memes for lynching reporters and other Nazi related memes. This past month, he’s defended the mob which broke into the Capital.
You really just have to wonder what he is thinking. It’s not just about what he says. No, it is about what he is doing to himself and others. There’s no defending what he’s doing. He has not only harmed others, he’s also harmed himself.
Think about it. If Schilling just could’ve shut up just once over the last five years, he’d be in the Hall of Fame. As it stands, he fell just 16 votes short. Now, you have to wonder if he’s sabotaging himself on purpose with his letter saying he wants to be removed from the ballot because he doesn’t deem the BBWAA worthy of judging his career.
No matter how you look at it, something is very wrong with Schilling. He knows he’s harming himself and others, and he just can’t stop doing it. Right now, it’s costing him the Hall of Fame. Who knows what it will mean for him in the future.
This is just a small battle in a much larger, national civil war. Its very sad that we only see things thru a prism of politics and right and wrong are now about right and left. The real shame is its going to tear the country in two or create a autocracy.
Will there even be a USA in 3 years? 2 years? 2 months? Maybe not.
I think that’s an overly dim view of things. Maybe, I’m just an optimist, but to me, we’ve seen our democracy always wins out in the end.
I know and history tells us that democracy somehow, some way, always wins out. But Im worried, its too easy now to rally the useful idiots and while most think this is a war between capitalism and socialism, its not. The ones you think are socialist, are fascist. Pay attention, this is a very dangerous moment.
Is that a Curt Schilling impression? Did you not read the article?
