politically inflammatory remarks after the shooting in Orlando? The only reason I ask this, is because I know Schilling was fired a few weeks ago for doing the same thing.

And how are they the same thing as Schilling's multiple episodes of bigotry?
It's not about politics, it's about inclusion versus exclusion and division.

No it's not inflammatory to compare a place where 21 states have legalized gay marriage to places where homosexuality is punishable by death.

She did not compare the US to any other place.
Jun 18, 2016, 11:19 AM

This is what she tweeted: "So in a country where we have done everything possible to undermine the LGBTQ community, we are suddenly lecturing Islam on homophobia. Oh."
This was an additional statement she made in follow up: "I’m more offended by the culture we have created in which people can’t feel free to be their whole selves and for that matter even supporting those who just want basic freedom is considered a negative.
I have heard a number of people moralizing those with Muslim beliefs about their homophobic religion ... as we debate and fight over access to transgender bathrooms. As if for centuries, we have not passed and championed laws that devalue and demean the LGBTQ community. Yet now we want to puff out our chest and say, “well at least we’re better than Islam!”
So a lot of folks today miss me with the hypocrisy."
ESPN is an inclusive organization. She was stating her support for inclusion and suggesting we still have a long way to go(as you alluded to in your 21 state comment) while his statements were for exclusion, along with fear and hatred.

Although I could see where you might consider it a religious issue as it is overwhelmingly a Christian and Muslim religious based bigotry.

It must be so nice to feel right only because you think most everyone agrees with you. Since what seems to be most popular affects your moral compass so much I wonder if you were championing LGBT rights a couple of decades ago when it actually might have been considered brave.

You are the one pointing more fingers than any single person in this thread. You are the one stereotyping more than anyone in this thread. And you're the one preaching a message of intolerance and hate more than anyone else in this thread.
I'm a Christian and don't hate a single gay person. Or transgender, or anything else.
Are there people who claim Christianity that hate gays? Absolutely. But stereotyping genuine Christians who display love the same as fake ones who display hate is wrong. Hello, bigotry.

There's nothing even remotely correct about that statement. Opposition to gay marriage and the ideology that people just are whatever gender they feel like is nothing like killing gay people. Statements like Jamele's are just another instance of LGBT political advocates trying to delegitimize everyone who disagrees with them.

Jun 18, 2016, 2:58 PM

In fact, they believe everybody (i.e. People who's lives are lost to sin, which includes every person ever born) who doesn't repent and commit their lives to Jesus will go to hell. Are you really asking what the difference is between just killing those people and believing that?
I'd point out that Christians don't believe gay people are going to hell just by virtue of being gay. They're no different than anybody else who hasn't accepted God's grave and committed to repentance.
But that isn't even what Hill was saying. She was saying that everybody who disagrees with LGBT politics is homophobic and just like Islamists. That is just plain stupid, and it's bigoted to boot.

room to stand in judgment of Islam's stance on homosexuality when, only last summer, did we legalize homosexual marriage in a VERY controversial and unpopular, to many, decision. We also have many Christians who continue to believe that homosexuality is an "abomination" and would condemn homosexuals to #### despite the fact that many churches are beginning to recognize and perform homosexual marriage, much to the dismay of their congregations.

some Muslims you would have already known the information I gave you or if you could do a simple internet search engine search. And being a muslim is not an ethnic group, it's being apart of a religion that has followers from many different ethnic groups. So your "race baiting" statement makes no sense, as I didn't refer to anything about race. Not surprising though, you were wrong so you changed the subject to something that had nothing to do with the topic at hand.

from trying to send them there yourself.
And how long do you think it'll be before countries controlled by Muslims stop outright murdering gay people for existing, much less legally recognize their marriages.

Mormons and jehovah witness have the least favorable opinion of homosexuality in America. Muslims are in the middle between them and the ones that support it the most, Catholics and Jews

we don't want to say "well, at least we're better than Islam."
We want to say "Hey, you know all that #### we fought for to get to the point where we were arguing about whether it was cool to let biological men into the women's restroom? Yeah, Islam is a HUGE threat to that because they don't view it as legitimate. In fact, they don't view homosexuals or non-Muslims as human beings on the same level as those who share their faith. These people throw homosexuals off of roofs to hear the sound they make when they hit the ground. Stop deflecting and deal with this actual problem before those rights start getting rolled back."

If it SUCKS SO BAD here why is the rest of the world trying to come here?
People need to stop being snowflakes or precious flowers and just get over it. Try service in the military for about eight years defending this country and see if it changes your perspective.

highlights....not to catch political hot takes, whether they be conservative or liberal....You are apparently OK with the Left Leaning slant, so it doesn't seem to bother you as much as listening to a conservative puke their stance on something....You make the mistake of assuming that anybody who doesn't want to hear the soapbox sermons are from the other side of the fence, when I assume most of us just want a separation of sports and soapbox altogether...Novel concept I know, but a boy CAN dream

original post characterizing and comparing her comments and his and their outcomes.
Did any of the comments from either sportscaster occur during a live broadcast that may have disrupted a viewer's enjoyment of the broadcast or were they statements made separately on social media? Or is that a red herring?

still can be subjected to that kind of programming. Watching shows like First Take is a very politicized and opinionated "take" on sports issues. Imagine filling a 24 hour block of broadcast time with purely objective sports highlights.
I hate watching all of ESPN's shows outside of Sports Center and broadcasts of games. Although, I used to tune into Cowherd and Lebatard because it was a sort-of guilty pleasure. I don't really identify with those guys much politically, but I was always entertained by their lack of fear to say whatever they wanted, regardless of the consequence.

Oh, I don't know maybe by comparing folks that don't agree with that lifestyle and Islamic extremists. Why is it that only conservatives are closed minded? Why is the same liberals that stress tolerance SO INTOLERENT to opposing view points? Asking you Chuck?

discrimination against the LGBT community is still committed and tolerated by a portion of US society.
I don't think all conservatives are close-minded.
It's not ok to be a bigot, but it is legal. But, it's not ok, nor is it allowed under The Constitution, to use that bigotry to deny someone equal protections under the law. You have to have a ### good reason(killing a bunch of people would be one). Selective interpretation of The Koran and The Bible is insufficient justification.

What she tried to do was say that anybody who disagrees with LGBT politics is a bigot, and that they are no better than people who have legalized killing of people for being gay. It's moronic, and it's vicious. Who's the real bigot there?

Just as I am bigoted against people who consider it acceptable to harass and discriminate against others because of their race, religion, national origin, sex, disability status, veterans, age, gender, or sexual orientation.

All you're doing is the delegitimization dance where you accuse everybody who disagrees with you of being motivated by "hate."

under the law is not my definition of love. It is bigotry. And society has already delegitimized that attitude, though there are some hold outs fighting it just as there has been throughout history.

The only thing you've got is calling everybody who doesn't agree with anything in LGBT politics a homophobe. That is bigotry.

Agree fully.
The irony is those in the LGBT community preaching inclusion, yet they name-call and attack if you mention simply a difference of opinion. That in and of itself is bigotry at its core, much more so than anything Curt Schilling ever said.

Big difference Schilling is an attention seeking bigot...
Jun 18, 2016, 3:36 PM

who has been using slurs and white supremacist rhetoric on his social media accounts the whole time he was employed by ESPN. ESPN constantly overlooked his behavior, any of us who behaved in such of manner would have been fired from our jobs long before Schilling was. Schilling was intentionally doing it to bring more attention to himself. He has a long history of that including the faked bloody sock game, and covering his face with a towel every time a certain Phillies reliever came in the game during the 93 world series. Jemele Hill has never made intolerant or bigoted comments towards any demographic. Big time false comparison.

And I don't care what her views are. I tend to tune out people who misuse their access to mass media. I watch sports channels for live sports, scores and highlights. Political statements have no place there.
This same principle is why I no longer own music by Bruce Springsteen, Darius Rucker or the Dixie Chicks. They are all very talented musicians, but that adds zero value to their personal views.
Incidentally, I am a Christian who would buy tickets to an Elton John concert tomorrow!
