ESPN just removed Curt Schilling from Little League world series broadcasting

[Walter Sobchak]

maybe fired for his tweet this morning.

Isn't ESPN the place that thought a cross dressing, murdering old phaggot was "courageous"?

Fuck them and fuck Disney their owners for being such sellout pieces of shit

dudes go from poverty to millionaire overnight, and have to play it risky with the cash.

just invest in bonds, precious metals, and some gilette and Mcd stock.  Live off the interest.

All this "imma build an empire and triple my $ in two years by being the next Rockstar Games"....

[Irongrip400]

kurt schilling is one of the dumbest fucking athletes of all time

with his huge ego and small balls  this genius thought he could start a video game company , costing him his whole fortune

now if he did lose his job what will this broke hasbeen  athlete do for money

I'm sure Fox or someone will pick him up.

Didnt seem like the best business decision, and I know jack shit about business.

With all the big names in the industry (microsoft, apple, google, etc), its almost impossible to try and compete with those companies, especially if youre not extremely savvy in that area of business. Its going to be a long time before we see another company go head-to-head with google, apple, or microsoft.

Its okay to take some risk in business, but this was flat out stupid. As you said, there is a lot more safe investments he could have made. Make those, then slowly but surely invest in some company of your own.

It wasn't the business of games that was the problem. It was the amount he decided to spend on the game he was making.

It's like saying, "I'm going to compete with a Marvel blockbuster, so I'm going to spend the exact kind of money that Marvel spends."

Sounds like a plan, right up until you don't make the 750Million dollars back that Marvel does.

Amalur was a decent but subpar game, not great.

True, but even so, you have to wonder, even if he made the right business decisions, would he have been able to compete with other businesses? You can make sound business decisions and still fail for a variety of reasons.

I don't see why not to be honest.

The total of the hollywood box office is not the total of the gaming business.

In most fledgling studios, (even some larger ones) sales of 1.5 to 2 million is considered very good and will make a profit... IF you haven't spent TOO much to make it.

1.5 million in sales isn't bad. Not at all... If your costs are not extravagant for no reason.

IMO, the american dream isn't "becoming the next apple" - it's building up a Minecraft or Beats by Dre, selling to one of the super huge companies, and retiring with half a billion in the bank.

Is posting on getbig part of the American dream, 240?

Some updates.

Seems like acting before thinking has caused him a lot of problems. Hes like Zimmerman. Will never learn.

when a person rants and raves 24/7 about a small percentage of people like this, you know they have some unresolved issues.

I mean, go out and convert people to your religion, if you want to positively change shit.  Instead, people like Schilling just bitch and moan with images like this, designed to brew hatred.  

Look, if you don't like something in the world, you can do 3 things..
1) STFU and ignore it
2) bitch about it, without offering any solutions
3) go out and work to positively change the people doing the things you hate.

Curt, if you feel this strongly, don't whine from facebook - go down to the local mosque and convert people.  If you want to make that % smaller, then go tell then why your religion is better.  Go change them - don't just get 300 million americans 'pissed off' at them.

Seriously, anytime you hear a person doing this, it's always some unresolved anger with other things in their world.

Do you have any idea how much this applies to you?

Dude posts like 50x's a day about politicians (a small percentage of people are politicians) he should be out there trying to convert them to nonpolitical jobs or stfu about it.

Is it only 50?

I think politics is cool too, but sometimes you just gotta move on.

I think we've been over this, you'll never convince someone to switch sides in politics or religion. State your opinion and move on.

240 has a handful of skills, including:

1) he can accurately predict how far any cops is away from a shooting victim. This allows 240 to identify if the shooting was justified.
2) he has in depth knowledge about various aspects of sports, most notably the NE Patriots and their cheating.
3) he can tie historical accounts into any known event to justify his opinion.
4) he is a master at understanding the unique nature of politics.
5) he can simultaneously hold two drastically different opinions, while seeking to understand both sides.
6) related to point 5, 240 can remain impartial until all the evidence presents itself.
7) hes got big arms.

Yeah, we've definitely had that discussion.

Generally I like the guy... he trolls well, but sometimes 240 needs to let the politics go. That shit isn't healthy.

i'm pretty much going to just shit on both sides.  the interaction with getbig members, the debate, convincing people to defend positions they absolutely hate... i love that stuff.

the trump vs hilary vs all the other douchbags, that's just the backdrop for the mental combativeness here.  It's like the zombies on TWD aren't the story - the people are.
