Ricketts family political activity threatens to scuttle Cubs reno plans | News

What an incredibly shitty day to be a Cubs fan.

Knowing that Daddy Moneybags of the clan (klan?) that owns the team is a rabid, dog-whistling racist shitbag is one thing. Knowing his brood is trying to extort $300 from the city of Chicago to fix up Wrigley while having at least $10 million ready to blow on racist advertising is even worse.

I'm still trying to get the family tickets to one of the Twins-Cubs games next month. I'll still watch the team. But I'll be damned if I am going out of my way to give this prick Joe Ricketts any penny I can avoid handing over.

And to hell with his kids for standing by him. If my dad sounded like a modern day Klucker, I'd call him out as a bigoted idiot like he'd deserve.
