Insurance Co. Cancels Policy of Baseball Legend Curt Schilling Over Conservative Views

'It was a management decision that was made collectively between underwriting and marketing teams that could not be overturned...'

Former major league pitcher Curt Schilling, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, said his insurance company AIG canceled his policy this week due to his “social media profile.”

Schilling said AIG’s decision was driven by his support for Trump and his social media posts alleging the 2020 presidential election was stolen by Democrats.

When some of Schilling’s supporters questioned his story, Schilling shared a screenshot of what appears to be communication from an AIG representative.

“Unfortunately, the underwriter was unable to accept my request. I also went up the chain of … command and asked our AIG Marketing Representative for an exception, but unfortunately he was unable to grant one. He realized that you were a longtime AIG client since 2004 and also a profitable account (no claims), but it was a management decision that was made collectively between underwriting and marketing teams that could not be overturned,” the AIG representative wrote.

This is not the first time Schilling has faced pushback for his conservative views.

In 2016, ESPN fired him after he mocked transgender bathroom laws.

And in 2017, he said his support of Trump was keeping him out of the MLB’s Hall of Fame.

“I promise you if I had said, ‘Lynch Trump,’ I would be getting in with about 90 percent of the vote this year,” Schilling said at the time.
