Very recently, former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling congratulated his daughter becoming a pitcher for her college softball team. As any dad would:
Congrats to Gabby Schilling who will pitch for the Salve Regina Seahawks next year!!

With that tweet I expected a response. Some congrats for sure, but absolutely the smart ass college kid and likely many of them from RS to reply. And I was not disappointed.
On his site, Curt details some of the deplorable tweets that he received as a result of him being excited for his daughter.
It pains me to say that this, in and of itself, this is nothing unexpected.
His response was.
Curt took it upon himself to doxx several of the jerks who posted those deplorable tweets:
“The Sports Guru”? Ya he’s a DJ named Adam Nagel (DJ is a bit strong since he’s on the air for 1 hour a week) on Brookdale Student Radio at Brookdale Community College. How do you think that place feels about this stud representing their school? You don’t think this isn’t going to be a nice compilation that will show up every single time this idiot is googled the rest of his life? What happens when a potential woman he’s after googles and reads this?
The other clown? He’s VP of the Theta Xi fraternity at Montclair State University. I gotta believe if Theta Xi is cool with a VP of one of their chapters acting like this I’d prefer to have no one I know in it. Also, does anyone attending Montclair State University have a student handbook? If so can you pass it along because I am pretty sure there are about 90 violations in this idiots tweets.
I hope I take these sorts of threats this seriously when Declan is of age.
That being said, I’m sure it won’t be a problem, because Declan isn’t a girl.
Curt summarizes:
The amount of vitriol I’ve heard is not an issue. I am sure I’ll hear more.
But I have to ask, is this even remotely ok? In ANY world? At ANY time?
No. It isn’t.
