I'm not quite sure what Schilling did wrong here but force a few over-sensitive folks to shed a few tears cause they couldn't take a joke? You're mean! These same PC people would have no problem keeping him if he made or posted a similar meme in the vein of Christianity. I also don't get this "you're falsely representing that segment of society" argument at all. It wasn't supposed to represent that segment, it was completely hyperbolic and exaggerated.
As cezero mentioned, we have grown a lot in the past decade towards acceptance, but it gets to a point where you kinda need to pump the brakes there a bit. As far as being recognized for diversity, I just don't understand that at all. I mean what do you want that will make you happy so we can get over this sh*t? Why are people so hell bent on this stuff? I've never cared about being recognized for my diversity nor would I ever want to nor do I need to be, so it doesn't even make logical sense to me to even say something like that. I don't understand what we need to do to make them happy so we could stop this hurrah and they'd feel like they're recognized for their diversity. Or is this just going to be a never-ending thing that we're going to have to hear about forever? Like racism with blacks in America?
I have to say this constant pushing shoving forcing down peoples throats something that was "taboo" for so long has been getting annoying for a while, and IMHO somewhat inconsiderate to some folks who really just don't care either way. They don't want to know, and they can only take so much at once, and it's kinda hard to blame them.
That being said, FU*K ESPN.
