1. You can’t turn it off, because it’s hard-coded into the submit metabox for the post post type, you can however hide the sticky checkbox and update the sticky array to unstick any currently stuck posts.

   Hide the sticky checkbox

   Add additional CSS to the post and post-new pages

   add_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'hide_sticky_option' );
   function hide_sticky_option() {
       global $post_type, $pagenow;
       if( 'post.php' != $pagenow && 'post-new.php' != $pagenow )
           return;
       ?>
       <style type="text/css">#sticky-span { display:none!important }</style>
       <?php
   }
   

   Unstick any currently stuck posts

   Add this one of your theme files, load a page that calls that file, then remove

   update_option( 'sticky_posts', array() );
   

   Hope that helps. 🙂

2. Your code was really helpful for me, but the “sticky post” option is still showing on the quick edit at the “All posts” page, so I’ve made some changes to fix this:

   // Hide sticky posts
   add_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'hide_sticky_option' );
   function hide_sticky_option() {
   global $post_type, $pagenow;
   if( 'post.php' != $pagenow && 'post-new.php' != $pagenow && 'edit.php' != $pagenow )
       return;
   ?>
   <style type="text/css">#sticky-span { display:none!important }
   .quick-edit-row .inline-edit-col-right div.inline-edit-col > :last-child > label.alignleft:last-child{ display:none!important; }</style>
   <?php
   }
   
   // Unsticky all posts
   update_option( 'sticky_posts', array() );
