Curt Schilling Is Simply a Misunderstood Man of Faith

This week, Curt Schilling revealed to the world that Tim Wakefield and his wife were both battling cancer—even though the Wakefields did not want the news shared with the entire world yet.

Tim didn’t even directly tell Curt he was sick.

And before you jump down Schilling’s throat for exposing someone else’s private medical information, let’s take a look at the full context of the reveal.

Here is the full clip from his Outkick podcast that I’m sure ten, possibly eleven people subscribe to and cannot wait to listen to whenever Schilling takes a break from watching poorly-made Q-Anon YouTube docs and remembers to record an episode before Clay Travis has to nervously ask him to please adhere to his contract:

See, once you hear the full clip, it sounds less flagrant.

All Curt Schilling did was hear about a former co-worker’s cancer diagnosis (from a totally different co-worker because Curt isn’t really that close to Wakefield) but he did it because he’s a “Christian and a man of faith”.

“And if they didn’t want this to be public, I sincerely apologize, but I do believe that a gigantic, worldwide Red Sox Nation group hug and prayers is warranted for this one”

On paper, it definitely sounds awful for Curt to run to his little radio show and expose a guy’s secrets BUT he was doing it because he’s a Christian and has a responsibility to give his audience the truth.

Schilling is super dedicated to getting to the truth like when he went to Capitol Hill to snitch on other baseball players for using steroids. He went as far as saying Roger Clemens should return his Cy Young awards.

Surely, this specific spite towards Roger Clemens has nothing to do with the fact that Schilling never won a Cy Young Award in his career and every time he came close, Clemens ended up taking the trophy home.

Or the fact that Schilling has had several postseason battles against Clemen’s Yankees and has a particular hatred for the Bronx Bombers.

No, Schilling just wants to reveal the truth and he’s a Christian and a man of faith.

As long as you disregard his 2004 season with the Boston Red Sox where he somehow had the best year of his career at age 37, ya know, the same way a steroid user would.

Somewhere in the world, Tim Wakefield is shouting at his personal catcher, Doug Mirabelli, for telling Curt Schilling anything at all. Mirabelli should know better than to give this information to a true Christian and man of faith.

Schilling’s faith makes it impossible for him to keep the truth to himself. He must share it with whatever dwindling audience of Arizona Diamondbacks fans who are still listening to his lazy baseball takes and conspiracy theories that only make sense if you never made it past the 3rd grade.

And I understand that. 3rd grade was tough, man. Mrs. Blackford was kicking my ass. I STILL struggle with fractions.

Remember the time Schilling compared Muslims to Nazis based on statistics that are both totally fabricated and in no way correlate with each other.

Just a man of faith telling it like it is. ESPN fired him a few years back for his inability to keep these truths to himself—mostly via 2005-style memes made to entertain retirees who endlessly scroll Facebook before the O’Reilly Factor airs on Fox News.

Curt Schilling is a Christian and a man of faith who hates trans people, Muslims, democrats, Jews, ESPN, the state of Rhode Island and maintaining his former co-workers’ peace.

Just like Jesus did.
