A few days ago, the United States experienced one of the darkest chapters in recent years, as Republican protesters staged riots in the Capitol, in Washington, DC This situation caused even MLB figures to speak out in this regard. Such is the case of Curt Schilling, the former Red Sox pitcher, who showed his support for the riots and Donald Trump himself, which could make him stay out of the Hall of Fame.
Curt Schilling, who had a great career as an MLB pitcher; he would be close to getting the votes needed to enter the Hall of Fame. Or so it was thought and visualized until a few days ago, before the pitcher expressed his support for the Capitol riots and protesters.
Last Wednesday, Schilling made posts on his social media, showing his support for those who committed these acts listed as ‘vandals’ and which cost the lives of five people.
The former Red Sox wrote text as “you cowards sat on your hands and did nothing while the liberal garbage vandalized and burned by ‘Air Jordan’ s and big scenes. Sit down and watch these guys start a confrontation for things that matter “.
Evidently, these comments from Schilling, who has never hidden his support for Donald Trump; they caused a ‘rain’ of disagreement comments. And even in surveys done on Twitter about whether he should enter the Hall of Fame after what has been said, it was reflected that he should not do so.
Curt Schilling is best known for his feat with the Boston Red Sox during Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series; as he came out to throw despite being injured and with a bleeding ankle, in front of the New York Yankees.
