When Red Sox, Diamondbacks and Phillies legend Curt Schilling watched his daughter, Medfield (Mass.) senior softball pitcher Gabby Schilling, sign a national letter of intent to pitch at Salve Regina, he took to Twitter to announce his pride to the world. What followed was a nightmare for any parent, and the softball star herself.
From there, things went downhill very, very fast. Social media users who could only be described as “Twitter trolls” attacked Schilling and his daughter viscerally, threatening her health and wellbeing.
One of them happened to be a Montclair State student, and it looks like he’s now suffering the consequences.
Curt wrote in his blog, “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. Also, does anyone attending Montclair State University have a student handbook? If so can you pass it along because I am pretty sure there are about 90 violations in this idiots tweets.”
The former VP of the Theta Xi fraternity who went by the Twitter handle “Hollywood” was later outed as Sean MacDonald, now a graduate working part-time as a ticket seller for the Yankees. As soon as his identity became public, he was fired immediately.
