A few days ago, the United States experienced one of the darkest chapters of recent years, when Republican protesters staged riots in the Capitol Building in Washington DC. This situation made even MLB figures speak out about it. That is the case with Curt Schilling, the ex-Red Sox pitcher, who showed his support for the riots and Donald Trump himself, who could take him out of the Hall of Fame.
Curt Schilling, who had a great MLB career as a pitcher; he would almost get the votes needed to enter the Hall of Fame. Or that was thought and visualized until a few days ago, before the pitcher expressed support for the riots and protesters on the Capitol.
Last Wednesday, Schilling posted on his social networks his support of those who committed these acts classified as ‘vandalism’ and who claimed the lives of five people.
The ex-Red Sox wrote lyrics like “You cowards sat on your hands and did nothing while liberal trash was smashed and burned for ‘Air Jordan’s’ and big scenes. Sit back and watch these guys start a showdown about things that matter. “
Clearly, these comments from Schilling, who has never concealed his support for Donald Trump; they unleashed a ‘barrage’ of disagreement. And even polls on Twitter about whether he should enter the Hall of Fame after what he said expressed that he shouldn’t.
Curt Schilling is best known for his performance with the Boston Red Sox in Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series; Despite an injury and with a bleeding ankle, he retired from the fight against the New York Yankees.
