n the last couple of days, the 3x World Series winner and Boston Red Sox legend Curt Schilling has found himself in hot water with a fan. What started with a spread of glitter has now spread enough for the former athlete to bring up his 2004 comeback to put an end to it. 

In a pride rally, a woman was seen pouring a bunch of glitter packets over a boy’s head. After this, the former athlete expressed his opinion on the same. This then led the Twitter user to say some harsh words about Schilling’s baseball career and a failed business venture leading the Red Sox legend to get even more rankled and put an end to what he called “idiocy.”  

What did the Boston Red Sox legend say to end the Twitter feud?

All of it then resulted in Schilling describing his iconic baseball stats. He posted a picture of his World Series ring, and with it, he wrote, “I was the ace in Philly for 10 years, won 20 3x.” Then about the statement of no one visiting the events he’s speaking at, he wrote, “Paid appearances range from mid 5 to 6 figures, so I doubt folks are paying that to have an event no one attends. Is it physically painful to be this stupid? Please keep posting. I can never have enough of these to convince folks that yes, people this stupid really do exist, you are real, in all your glorious idiocy, you are real. I’ll leave you with this too…. #SUCKIT.”
