Fickle Boston Fans are Idiots
It has come to my attention that some people in Boston are dissapointed with some of Curt Schilling's recent actions. For those of you who do not know, Curt Schilling is a pitcher who decided to sign with the Red Sox last year for big money. He pitched a couple of games under less then ideal circumstances and was a hero in helping the Red Sox win the World Series. However, some of his recent actions have made some Bostonites wonder whether he is really one of them.
For instance days after winning the World Series, he publically supported George W. Bush in the election instead of Taxachustes's own John Kerry. The Red Sox owner and many players chose to back John Kerry. Looks like Schilling was on two winning teams in just a few weeks. That is considered one "crime" in the eyes of the Boston. They believe that Schilling did not support their candidate.
The next "crime" in the eyes of the Bostonites is that recently he was seen wearing a Colts and then later a Steelers jersey. The Boston fans are getting angry becuase he seems to not support the New England football team. These people seem to think he should blindly follow whatever the locals say. This is why the Boston fans are idiots.
Schilling has no reason to follow Kerry or the Patriots. He is from Alaska not Boston. He makes a lot of money and would like to keep more of it(hense he supports a candiate that allows him to keep more of his income). He has no alliegence to the city of Boston and nor should he. Schilling like most athletes today is a mercenary: he went to the place which paid him the most money. If another team agrees to pay him more money, think he will stick around in Boston? HA. Look at what happened to Pedro.
Schilling is able to support any political candiate he wants and cheer for any team he chooses. Boston fans who boo him for these choices are fickel morons becuase when he gets back on the mound, they will cheer him. Want more proof that Boston fans can be fickle dumbasses? Boston fans also boo and jeer the person who resurected Schiilling's career: Roger Clemens. Instead of booing Clemens, they should recognize him as one of the best pitching talents to ever grace the game and be thankful that he helped Schilling. Denouncing Clemens, simply denounces Schilling, and denouncing the person that got them to the World Series is even dumber. But then again, Red Sox fans cant differentiate between on the field and off the field, so what can you really expect from them?

I don't care who schilling voted for, we all get to vote for who we want, and i don't care whose jersey he wears in football, because i think football is overrated/sucks/isn't a worthwhile sport... BUT, it is unconsionable for you to say that he was the hero who won us the world series. You must somehow be forgetting david ortiz who put us in the series in the first place,johnny damon's game 2 grand slam
keith foulkes' saves. And oh, by the way, you misspelled Taxachusetts(just my $0.02, where we currently have less taxes than new york, florida, and d.c.

There are a couple of people I want to address in this message, so I will split them up.
Independent Girl: Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog. I saw your blog and it has some interesting comments on it. I will have to go back and regularly visit your blog now.
Kellen: I posted this for you based on what you sent me independently because you expressed difficulty adding the comments on yourself. So here goes. While I completely disagree with you on your idea of football "overrated/sucks/isn't a worthwhile sport" it might be due to the fact that you do not really understand the nuances of the sport. There is nothing wrong with that at all, as we tend to not appreciate all sports equally. But I digress...
Second of all, I never said that Schilling was the hero, please reread my comments. I wrote he was "was a hero" not the hero. Are you denouncing Schilling's role in the road to the World Series? He played a major role in getting yall into the World Series and in the World Series itself.
As far as it being "Unconsionable", I think you really need to rethink the definition of the word. In fact if you do consult the dictionary, look up the word "Unconscionable". (I dont normally point out spelling mistakes on blogs to people, but since you saw fit to, I thought I would return the favor.
