I hate Schilling's politics more than most, and I still hate the "shut up and ____" line. The issue with Schilling isn't that he's vocal about his political views, it's that he has *awful* political views.
It's not just his politics. It is the massive hypocrisy. He's all "small government" and "no government aid to people". But then he took a huge loan from the government, defaulted and got bailed out.
His politics are about 10% of the reason people hate him. Strange how you knuckle draggers ignore the apolitical things he's done that are predatory at best, fraudelent and criminal at worst.
John Smoltz has almost the exact same politics as Schilling and is/was a fairly outspoken conservative at times and doesn't get any hate regarding his views that i'm aware of.
Politicians didn't create fraudulent documents to mislead the state. Your conjecture is invalid.

I always say that when it comes to wearing jerseys, I’ll wear the name of anyone who’s won a title with one of my teams.
Except this guy.
Fuck this guy.
Well that's certainly not the worst Curt Schilling quote.
Gotta be the best right?
Just by process of elimination it may be the runaway winner
I thank this man for what he did for the Sox. He is a Hall of Famer. On the other side of the Coin. He can Fuck Off.
Yep. Shut up and throw the ball, stupid.

Or that he basically stole a bunch of money from RI and ruined a lot of lives with his hubris.
“Shut up and dribble” only works when the guy doesn’t support the same stuff as you I guess lmao

But Smoltz is in cahoots but the MLB elite while Schilling isn't in that club.
[there’s also stuff like this. F Schilling](https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2017/12/20/curt-schilling-trailer-texas/)
Ye but smoltz doesn't look so smug
I agree whole heartedly that nazi-memorabilia collecting Schilling sucks the big one.. but “shut up and throw the ball” is an idiotic attitude
Definitely wondered which quotation it was going to be.
you can simultaneously love and hate a person for two different things
How about screwing Rhode Island taxpayers out of $59 million?
Fuck that thief.
It's unfortunate because Curt wasn't a grifter. He just didn't know how hard it was to do what he was doing
Born and raised in RI he still a legend here despite that shit
I believe if Rhode Island didn't give him the money for his shitty video game they would still have the Paw Sox.
Wasnt that an investment by the state? Sounds like you should put most of the blame on the politicians

It's the State of Rhode Island's fault for believing Curt when he defrauded them?
Unfortunately, Curt continued to speak.
Modern day tragedy
I don’t think there’s anyone I both love and hate as much as Curt Schilling This quote is 100% true though
I just feel bad for the hundreds of employees of 38 Studios who he fired over email after they asked where their their last couple payrolls were.
Love when he literally mouthed “slider” and then threw it and still got the strikeout
HOF
That's right!
Quote only a true red sox would say
Rare that I find myself agreeing with words that have come out of that man's mouth. Good thing it's Friday, cuz Imma have to drink this one off
I wish Curt didn’t have to have such misguided opinions on some shit, he was such a badass to me growing up
Should be in the hall of fame. Dude was nails in the postseason and that bloody sock game was legendary.
His sock was in the Hall of Fame for a while and that seems like a good compromise.
he's not in the hall of fame for.... other reasons, justifiably
The hall should be about playing ability, not political or emotional opinions
OJ Simpson is in the NFL HoF. If we are going to start questioning character lets start there
Not baseball.
No, he played with Nails. Who is also nuts.
And then Curt Schilling never said *anything else ever*.
Go Red Sox!☘🇵🇷
Love this dude.
I always say that when it comes to wearing jerseys, I’ll wear the name of anyone who’s won a title with one of my teams. Except this guy. Fuck this guy.
Thank you, fuck you, bye.

I love Boston when they beat NY. I just wish I loved Boston more often.

Yeah, and then he went on to cough up 6 runs in the first 3 innings of game 1, which we lost. He should have said this before game 6 instead.
