On Friday, former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling sent out a congratulatory tweet to his 18-year-old daughter Gabby, who recently committed to Salve Regina softball team.

As it tends to happen on Twitter, some of Schilling’s followers had a good natured joke or two.

Others were not so lighthearted. Schilling took screenshots of several of the most offensive tweets he received from two men, Adam Nagel and Sean MacDonald, whose tweets centered around sexual violence and innuendo, and wrote an impassioned blog post on his personal website.

From Schilling’s post:

“The Sports Guru”? Ya he’s a DJ named Adam Nagel (DJ is a bit strong since he’s on the air for 1 hour a week) on Brookdale Student Radio at Brookdale Community College. How do you think that place feels about this stud representing their school? You don’t think this isn’t going to be a nice compilation that will show up every single time this idiot is googled the rest of his life? What happens when a potential woman he’s after googles and reads this?

The other clown? He’s VP of the Theta Xi fraternity at Montclair State University. I gotta believe if Theta Xi is cool with a VP of one of their chapters acting like this I’d prefer to have no one I know in it.”

It turns out, MacDonald had been employed by the New York Yankees as a part-time ticket seller in January. NJ.com spoke with Jason Zillo, the Yankees communication director, who said that MacDonald had been fired from his position.

“We have zero tolerance for anything like this,” Zillo said. “We’ve terminated him.”

As for Nagel, Brookdale Community College issued the following statement:

“The Twitter comments posted by this student are unacceptable and clearly violate the standards of conduct that are expected of all Brookdale students. “The student has been summarily suspended and will be scheduled for a conduct hearing where further disciplinary action will be taken. The Brookdale Police are actively investigating this matter. Brookdale takes this behavior very seriously and does not tolerate any form of harassment.”

Schilling’s blog post notes that in “the real world you get held accountable for the things you say and if you are not careful that can mean some different things.”

It would appear that we are still living in the real world, even if Twitter can at times appear otherwise.
