Insurance giant American International Group (AIG) canceled Boston Red Sox legend Curt Schilling solely because he is a conservative.
The famed Sox pitcher took to Twitter to let fans know that the cancel culture came after him because of his history of conservative tweets.
“We will be just fine, but wanted to let Americans know that @AIGinsurance canceled our insurance due to my ‘Social Media profile,'” Schilling wrote on Tuesday.

The MLB star shared a screenshot of an email from an AIG employee telling him that while they appreciate that he’s been an AIG client since 2004, “it was a management decision that was made collectively between underwriting and marketing teams that could not be overturned.”
Cut out personal information and kept the relevant part readable. But ya, it's real and I don't imagine it's even close to what we will witness in the coming months, years, if we let the Nazi's win and the fraud is allowed to stand pic.twitter.com/oMxqBZ0mhz

Schilling added that the decision to drop him came from the insurance giant’s PR department. “That was their reasoning. The agent told us it was a decision made by and with their PR department in conjunction with management,” he wrote.
One has to wonder… did any left-wing supporter of last year’s Black Lives Matter riots ever lose their insurance just because they were vocal for left-wingism on social media?
Has any leftist lost a job because of their support for liberalism?
Yet, time and again we are seeing conservatives canceled all across America merely because of their political opinions.
This is not America.
