At least with the steroid scandal you can argue an on-field reason for keeping someone out, regardless of if you agree with it.

You are spot on. The responses conflate "Moral Character" with "things I agree with." Essentially those responding think anyone who disagrees with them as being morally corrupt.

@@cougar2013 Get your head out of right-wing talking points. There is no distinction between what RWers call "cancel culture" and what the rest of the world calls "RW celebrities facing consequences for shitty behavior." RWers decided that attaching a sneering label to "facing consequences" (so-called "cancel culture") and "teaching real history, wats and all" (what RWers are desperately trying to label "critical race theory"). Right-wingers like the idea of nobody being able to think a thought they don't approve. But if you're calling teaching that white people were responsible for Emmett Till's murder "critical race theory," or if you're saying that shitty people eating consequences for shitty behavior is "cancel culture," you're just plain propagandizing against reality.

He had a reputation for being an assholes before the whole politics thing. It is not solely his political beliefs that kept him from the hall.

Like it or not some sports writers won't look past his abrasive nature toward journalists, no matter how great he is.

[@typebflieger]

I’m a liberal and a Yankee fan, squarely in the demo that hates Schilling. While not an obvious HOFer, he’s on the border and probably deserves it by modern standards, especially given his post-season record. The Hall is filled with surly assholes on both sides of the political aisle who were rude to the media. He’s no exception. I think you’re right that it’s his personality over his politics, but for me the primary reason is that his stats are borderline. He’s on that ill-defined edge right between Mussina (HOF) and Pettite (not HOF). If it was more obvious stat-wise, the pressure would be on the writers to vote him in, even if they hate his guts. They’d have no excuse not to.

[@middlefinger1565]

He was abrasive towards those writers for a reason. He doesn't like the way they conduct business...or their bias aimed at or against certain players. These very same writers kept Buck O'Neill out of Cooperstown...even years and years after his death. So...in a way...these writers got what they deserved...and that's because they're WAY more political than Schilling is. Schilling has a right to his political views. So put up...or shut up!

He also bilked taxpayers out of millions with his failed video game company in between rants about welfare queens and such. Not saying that should disqualify him, but it’s just another reason Schilling is a joke. I personally think he’s an HOFer and I loved watching him, but c’mon, he isn’t a first ballot slam-dunk case either. He’ll get in eventually and that seems fair. But if he pitched in the 60s (for example) he likely wouldn’t have gotten in at all because his career totals in traditional stat categories aren’t eye-popping. Modern stats like JAWS show that he does deserve it (as well as his immortal postseason record), but I remember a time when pitchers needed 300 wins or they didn’t get in, and that wasn’t so long ago. His peers were Pedro and Johnson; he just wasn’t at that level. He should be thankful that he’ll eventually get in. He was awesome to watch.

Also, when someone posts a picture of Hitler doing Nazi sign and cites only Muslims, he's clearly comparing Nazis to all Muslims (using a stat which idk is even legitimate). For context, Nazi party went on to win the election with the majority of the country supporting Nazism eventually. To me he seemed to be implying all Muslims will eventually do the same and move to extremism, like that's just who we are. I think you're giving him too much credit with that take and not pointing out the obvious issues with it. He's yet to come out and acknowledge that too btw.

He's got the numbers, to be sure, but as far as character goes, he's a big fat ZERO. Baseball doesn't need to honor someone like that.

Where conservatives fail, is in grabbing at the hearts and minds of the middle. They make no attempt and appear to be very easily enraged and aggressive.They more concerned with controlling women's rights than gun owners rights. They never were a silent majority. They are a very loud minority that is more embarrassing and unpopular than you think. Sorry if he speaks to you and you think he is getting a bad deal. Police brutality and women's right, are not issues to you. They are to many Americans who are minorities or women to have your little white mens club here.. Conservatives are doing everything possible to restrict voting and censor books in school, because they know how unpopular their ideas are. They have no ideas. Teaching the true history of our willingness to treat humans like animals is so embarrassing to conservatives that they want to hide it. We can't learn from mistakes if we don't learn.

@@coolstufftodo5256 I think his point was that sports media leans in a particular direction. Like, Schilling has said some outlandish nonsense, but to the conservative American, it's really not that outlandish. By contrast, some of the stuff that LeBron has said is "outlandish nonsense" to conservative viewers/voters, but since so small a percentage of media members are card-carrying conservatives, the narrative is that Schilling's takes are much more derogatory and inappropriate than LeBron's. Not my take per se, just playing devil's advocate and trying to look at things from the other side. Example: LeBron's complicity in the NBA's bowing to China, despite China holding millions of Uighurs in concentration camps. Yet, at the same time, LeBron has to a large extent been a driving force behind the NBA having players wear "Hands up don't shoot" or "End racism" on their jerseys. That would be fine, if he didn't basically ignore his principles when money was at stake in the Chinese market. Like, Chinese muslims are themselves the victims of racism, and by all account on a mortality scale greater than Black Americans, but where is LeBron's voice on the matter? I certainly have never heard it. BTW, I think Enes Kanter (Freedom?) is a money-motivated clown, so dont accuse me of being some kind of Enes simp haha.

Curt right now stands with the best Strike to Walk ratio out of any pitcher since the Live Ball Era began (1900 and on). Red Sox bloody sock game I think changed baseball forever and the 2001 world series for sure. Curt Schilling also stands at the top of post season pitching 11-2 record with an Era of 2.23 out of 19 games pitched.

You're just completely disregarding the fact that by that same logic a murderer who played a hall of fame career should be in the hall. I think that's ridiculous frankly. Look at Foolish Bailey's video on this and gain a little insight.

i agree, the HoF is an opportunity for MLB to praise the best players along with characters in the game

No one needs your political nonsense

[@shockedFace759]

Give the man his props political views dont have nothing to do what he did on the field

[@1biasedherbertfan979]

Didn’t he say he doesn’t want to be voted in

[@Wolf-wc1js]

What is this thing called “baseball”? I thought it didn’t exist

[@iTalkStudios]

It’s an illusion I’ve been having

The most mistreated legend is pete rose. The fact that he's not in the hall of fame because of betting is bullshit. He never even admitted to betting against his team but instead for his team. He didn't cheat like steroid users and he's the all time hit leader.

[@nicanthrope1177]

No Pete bet on his team, whether it was on or against doesn't matter, Shoeless Joe on the other hand got banned for supposedly being a part of the 1919 blacksox scandal but hit for a higher average(.375) in the world series than his career average (.356) and was likely forced to sign his admission of guilt while being illiterate and unable to read what he was admitting to

[@joshuapatrick682]

If bud selig can have a Cooperstown plaque for knowingly presiding over the steroid era, let Schilling in yall…

[@charlesbalter3470]

Curt Schilling isn’t mistreated. He’s properly treated. He’s treated the way he has treated others for many years, decades. He’s not the slam dunk Hall of Farmer people make him out to be. Before WAR, wins mattered. Schilling got to 216. It’s more than some people in the Hall of Fame. It’s less than a lot of people not in the Hall of Fame. Bad things didn’t visit Schilling. Schilling sought out bad things by being a bad person. It wasn’t just once. It wasn’t overnight. The guy spent his entire career as an entitled, out of touch, arrogant jerk. Why else do you think he moved around so much? Curt Schilling made his bed: designed the bedroom, picked out the bed frame, box springs, mattress; set the sleep number. I’m so sick of this culture where there’s no such thing as maturity, professionalism, accountability.
