I\u2019ve played with and talked with gay teammates. I\u2019ve played with wife beaters, adulterers, assaulted, drug addicts and alcoholics. I\u2019ve never hit a woman, driven drunk, done drugs, PEDs or otherwise, assaulted anyone or committed any sort of crime.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m now somehow in a conversation with two men who cheated, and instead of being accountable they chose to destroy others lives to protect their lie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>People on social media voiced their discontent with Schilling\u2019s snub.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Every year the conversation revolves around who didn\u2019t get in.
