Curt Schilling may want to stick to putting fake blood on his sock.
Because this whole Internet thing is really working out poorly for the former pitcher.
The ESPN analyst and ex-Major League Baseball All-Star once again finds himself in trouble for something he posted on the World Wide Web.
This time around, Schilling shared a meme on his Facebook page, one that mocks the transgender community and specifically hones in on their lack of access to public bathrooms, an issue relevant at the moment due to a law recently passed in North Carolina.
We're embarrassed to even include this on our website, but we must do so in order to give you the full picture of this controversy:
Schilling deleted the meme from his Facebook page after receiving an array of complaints, but not before making the following comment in regard to his overall point.
"A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don't care what they are, who they sleep with, men's room was designed for the penis, women's not so much.
"Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic."
Upon ridding his social media page of the scandalous photo, Schilling then defended himself in a rambling blog post.
"I didn't post that ugly looking picture," he wrote. "I made a comment about the basic functionality of mens and womens restrooms, period.
"And for you people too dense to understand this one very important thing. My opinion, 100% mine, and only mine. I don't represent anyone but myself here, on facebook, on twitter, anywhere."
In August, Schilling was suspended by ESPN for posting intolerant comments comparing Muslims to Nazis.
Following that incident, Schilling admitted he erred and and acknowledged the mistake on Twitter, writing "this was a bad decision in every way on my part."
Last month, meanwhile, Schilling said Hillary Clinton should "be buried under a jail somewhere" because she used a private email server for government business as Secretary of State.
Via statement, ESPN says is it "taking this matter very seriously and are in the process of reviewing it."
