Whatever you think about Curt Schilling...

[DanMcQ]

...bravo for his takedown of the internet cretins who attacked his daughter.

MacDonald was hired as a part-time ticket seller for the New York Yankees at the end of January, according to Jason Zillo, the team's director of communications.

Zillo said MacDonald worked about 18 hours over four days for the Yankees. Zillo said MacDonald was fired today.

"We have zero tolerance for anything like this," Zillo said. "We've terminated him."

MacDonald, who recently graduated, was a former vice president of the Theta Xi fraternity at Montclair State University.

The fraternity posted on social media that they were aware of the "inappropriate and offensive tweets that were posted by an alumnus of Theta Xi Fraternity. We agree wholeheartedly that cyber-bullying is unacceptable and should not be tolerated."

Good to see Brookdale making news! It's right up the road from my high school, and I've had friends and family go there. If I'm not mistaken, Brian Williams is also an alum.

Where does Schilling live that his daughter's going there?

Or at least Wiliams claims he is...

On a serous side, good for Schilling. Kids are out of bounds.

Medfield, MA - right around the corner from where I live. he was tweeting from the Medfield High boys hockey state tournament game tonight (don't know but perhaps his son plays).

On edit: Gaby plays on the girls hockey team which is in the state tournament, per my daughter's friend who is from there that we saw at hockey tryouts this morning.

Ah, I misread the article at first and thought that she was a student at Brookdale, which, though a fine institution, isn't worth traveling from Massachusetts to attend. It also seems like he spends a lot of time tweeting no matter where he is.

Agree with you on kids being out of bounds, but all of the comments he highlighted were well past anything that should be considered inbounds no matter who the person is.

I'm so tired of people. WTH is wrong with these people?

[njhoya78]

This is yet another example of the naiveté in the use of social media. It seems that there is an episode every few days in which a tweet or post exposes racist/misogynistic/xenophobic/puerile/ignorant thought processes that are shortly thereafter the subject of "heartfelt" apologies. Doesn't anybody think before they use Twitter, Instagram, Facebook of Google+?

I'm not a Schilling fan, but his response and actions are remarkably composed. If someone had posted those comments about my daughter, I'd have done far, far worse.

Love the fact that he outed them, and both will pay the consequences in some fashion. They better hope potential employers don't google them...

Salve Regina is in Newport RI. About an hour plus from Medfield, among the mansions of the gilded age. On the water a small but very beautiful campus in a great little city.

There are few prettier campus locations than Salve Regina, right adjacent to the Cliff Walk in Newport. It's not Pepperdine, but it's as close as the East Coast can offer.
