Curt Schilling argued with a fake Sidney Ponson Twitter account, claims it's really him

It wasn't a very good Wednesday for Curt Schilling. Last night, the retired pitcher and three-time World Series champion learned that he would not be selected as part of the Hall of Fame's Class of 2017; in fact, he was one of just two players to lose voting support on the ballot, falling from 52.3% last year to 45.0% in his fifth year of eligibility. A lot of that can likely be tied to Schilling's controversial, insensitive and downright idiotic views and social-media comments on (among other things) Muslims, transgender people, journalists and the U.S. presidential election, in which Schilling was a loud and vocal supporter of President-elect Donald Trump.
