ESPN should have transferred him to the Women's Softball Broadcast booth. Women's sports need some gender equity like the bullshite women broadcasters ESPN makes us listen to in men's sports.

Maybe they should, but it really depends on what those beliefs are. I doubt Chik fil A could get away with following that lead.

As a father of an 8 year old girl if I saw that creature follow her into a women's bathroom you're Goddamn right I would have an issue with it.

At this point he will have been told to cut it out on social issues repeatedly. If he's that clueless about the environment of his employer, he's not one for sustained employment there. There are people who lose their jobs for really bullshite reasons, persistent infringement of company culture to the outside world (particularly in media for fricks sake) isn't one of them. I mourn for those terminated unjustifiably or without recognizing the consequences of their actions beforehand, not those that can't take a hint and thumb their nose at management and continue to take a paycheck there. Sounds like Schilling wanted out more than anything.

And I generally disagree with that hypocrisy to an extent.
Hard to compare the situations when one is dealing with religious beliefs/lack thereof and the other is merely in a social context.

Why do you need to add the liberal? You know a ton of trumpkins who support progressive agendas?

The whole subject seems kinda foreign to me. Getting up in arms to defend people I don't know seems like a false sense of anger. But getting up in arms to be upset about people I've never seen in my bathrooms seems like a false sense of anger as well?
If we're dealing with a transgender woman who is on hormones and now looks like a man of some sort doesn't the bathroom designation on the basis of gender at birth force that "man" into a woman's bathroom? On the whole that person (although a woman by birth) seems more like she/he belongs in a men's room.

No surprise but it's amazing how PC ESPN has become.. Schilling got canned for being on the wrong side of the medias perception without regard to what people think or others descritions that don't meet the medias cause de jour.

Kruk used to call the WCWS along with Mendoza. Adam Amin calls softball every weekend.

And ESPN has been consistent on this perceived policy? He was fired because the topic be broached ( poorly) is unfortunately a hot button issue at this moment and one that the general media has chosen to champion without regard towards general sentiment or reasonable decent.

Look, if someone wants to go through the surgeries to change themselves from a man to a woman (and vice versa) then I have no problem with them using the bathroom of their new found sex.
However, someone like the thing in the OP (who is clearly a man with no attempt to hide it) does not and should not deserve to be permitted in the women's bathroom. The same rule should apply to a woman who clearly looks like a woman.
It's fricking common sense.

Seriously?
You have no idea why that would influence your thought process?
