“Hold up that f---ing Cubs s---. F--- them,’ Patti Blagojevich allegedly said as her husband, Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, bandied about a scheme to withhold state funds from the Cubs' parent Tribune Company unless the owner agreed to fire certain Chicago Tribune employees.”

@LangmanVince Because they renting the whole time, lol. Bummer that you’re a fan of the biggest welfare queens in sports, they should pull themselves up by the bootstraps
Fucking nonsense below. The general election is early November and nobody except Roger Goodell oral fanny polishing media & bloggers think IL legislators approving a huge tax break for McCaskey heirs is winning politics or good idea. Make it stop.
The McCaskeys need to sell.
I’ve seen this referenced a lot the last few days.
It’s not some veiled secret thing. Bud Denker said this publicly from the start 3 years ago.
Not saying I agree with it, or that full suites are reasons when or when not to hold a race, but passing along ⬇️
McCaskey’s are beyond shameless.
Man up. Billionaires using leverage play after leverage play to toy with a fanbase just for tax breaks and to make the public pay for surrounding infrastructure.
If you need a 1 billion dollar handout sell your damn team.
So many in Illinois who constantly bitch about taxes/Pritzker/Democrats/Chicago are upset they won’t give taxpayer money to billionaire NFL owners.
So many in Indiana who badmouth Illinois for the same reasons seem pretty jazzed about paying taxes for a new stadium.

I’m glad the Illinois politicians haven’t caved to the Bears. Let Indiana pay the taxes while Illinois still reaps the benefits because folks will stay in Chicago, not Hammond
