    A ticket of Schilling and Palin would have a better showing than the veritable curb-stomping that Drumpf is gonna face.

    Anyone hear of free speech? That's all Schilling was doing?

    And now that he's not representing one of the largest corporations in the country, he's free to say whatever the hell he wants. Easy peasy.

    I missed the part where they tossed him in a gulag for his words.

    Maybe I'm naive to think that the Obama administration isn't pulling the strings on this, but last time I checked, ESPN was not a government agency.

    I'm not sure if you're aware, but the government doesn’t appear to be involved in ESPN's decision.

    I keep trying to come up with a snappy reply, but as usual, sj.com has all the bases covered.

    It's obviously a form of free speech. I mean...unless someone was holding a gun to his head or something.

    And what policy would that be?

    If ESPN really wanted to make a statement they would have a Transgender in The Body Issue this year
