Headlines are claiming that ESPN baseball analyst and close-minded bigot Curt Schilling is refusing to apologize (or back down at all) after posting anti-transgender images and comments on Facebook on Monday.
But these headlines are wrong: in a gutless, cowardly move, Schilling deleted the offensive posts and then lied this afternoon, saying it was "something that never actually happened". (You can view the offensive posts here.) If the former Red Sox pitcher believed he had nothing to apologize for, he would have kept the post visible. So much for standing up for what you believe in.
