Social media: where human decency goes to die | ASU News | The State Press | Arizona State University

We’re now entering the third month of 2015, which as it relates to the sports world, has provided us with plenty of Internet-driven diversions and sideshows.


I would much rather eulogize Minnie Minoso. But this is not going to be that column.


This weekend, I happened to stumble upon a tweet from former World Series champion, Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, that linked to a post on his blog.


It struck such a chord with me that since I read it, I haven’t been able to close the tab.


As you might have deduced yourself, the post revealed a flurry of misogynistic, hate-fueled, explicitly sexual and disturbing tweets in response to Schilling tweeting a simple congratulatory shoutout to his daughter Gabby, who will be playing college softball next year.
