D.B.'s of the Week - Adam Nagel With An Asterisk
Once more there's a Twitter fight...
...and Curt Schilling is involved.
We all know Schilling...he may have painted fake blood on his shoe and then tied his shoe thirty times while pitching.
He has fought with people over politics, religion, baseball, finances and vaccinations.
He's always fighting.
Whatever.
Yet, all that Schilling did this time was post a very sweet tweet to congratulate his daughter about being accepted at a college.
As per usual, the people who hate Curt jumped him.
(There are millions of such people).
Well, one guy, Adam Nagel (and others) really jumped on.
Schilling posted something about knowing people in special forces who could handle a fight...for picking on his daughter...and the war of words went nuclear.
Nagle (and others) posted a whole bunch of really vulgar, disgusting, vile and horrendous tweets...that caused to Schilling to go on the offensive. Schilling is a self-proclaimed Christian man.
Schilling went to the airwaves to defend his daughter's dignity...which any father would do.
In fact, to some, Curt was the very definition of a hero!
Nagle...and all the others like him are the D.B.'s of the week...but there's a but...
Why you ask?
Schilling was on ESPN on Tuesday talking about the hate that he was subjected to...
This is a recap of what he said:
He knew that he was inviting the hate...because he is who he is...and college boys are always playful.
He knew that he was introducing his daughter into a situation where hate was certainly a possibility!
How do you even think of doing that?
Schilling has a lot of ways to send a note of congratulations to his daughter, but he puts her name on Twitter to people who stalk and troll him.
Why?
He can't congratulate his daughter on the phone?
On Baseball Tonight?
In a card or letter?
Nagle (and others) took the bait.
Curt wasn't in the mood to forgive...at all.
He got the trolls fired and he's set to have criminal charges pressed against at least 10 people.
Look...
...there's no excuse for the words that those folks hurled at Schilling's daughter.
...there's no reason why someone should attack (before Schilling announced her to the world) an anonymous young lady.
That's disgusting.
But Curt isn't a Twitter novice. It's too bad social media is where it is, but public figures know! I certainly can be wrong here...but we would have never known of his daughter. He has a right to be proud! But...I just don't know why.
Did he do it unknowingly?
Well, he admitted that he knew there would be negative tweets.
Sad story.
It's all happening over and over again.
Nagel is certainly the D.B. of the week...but the real shame is where we are in the world of social media.
That Dad, unfortunately, knew they'd do it. He may not have anticipated how low some people can go...not to be able to say something nice...is brutal.
