Sports Fan. #Cubs #Bears #Bulls #Blackhawks #ManchesterCity #Illini. Big Brother fan, blogged about it for 15 years. Very good at social distancing.

The great irony is that Trump will always love NYC (we share this in common) even as the Fox News crowd/right wing pols/his most ardent MAGAs shit on it.

I was wrong about the intensity of the boos, though.

[Rachel Nichols @Rachel__Nichols]

Louder than the boos for the Spurs, louder than any boos I've heard in this building in a while.

[Bruce Arthur @bruce_arthur]

It's like James Dolan was compelled to remind everyone, at the potential zenith of his Knicks ownership, why so many people have hated James Dolan for so long

[Danny Rockett @SonRanto]

I am going to follow the lead of our President and blame Joe Biden for the #Cubs.

[Scottie Pippen @ScottiePippen]

Sad to hear about the passing of Stacey King.

A champion, a great teammate, and a true ambassador for the game. His impact on the Bulls organization and the city of Chicago will be remembered for generations. Rest in peace, King.

[Pablo Torre 👀 @PabloTorre]

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

[Matthew Downen @MattD34]

I never had an experience quite that bad with StubHub but …yeah I stopped using them a few years ago.

[Lawrence Lepard, "fix the money, fix the world" @LawrenceLepard]

Do not use StubHub. I purchased $1,500 of Journey tickets from them. They promised delivery before 4:30pm for a 7:30pm show. I spent 3 hours in the afternoon trying to get the tickets. Nothing. The venue was an hour from my home. At 6:30 no resolution, no contact. I did not go. I received upgraded tickets from them via email at 7:37pm via email. The show had started. I asked for a complete refund. They refused. They said I could have seen most of the show. These people are criminals. Period. @StubHub

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

How was this stadium not selected for the World Cup? Actually looks like a proper football ground. Nothing like those awful out of town NFL arenas built to separate people from their cash. https://t.co/kuYofeDMCa

[JaguarGator9 @JaguarGator9NFL]

So ticked off about the Bears leaving Chicago that he’s switching to the Cardinals, a team that left Chicago

[Manchester City @ManCity]

Two assists to conclude World Cup preparations 🅰️⚡️

🇧🇪 @JeremyDoku

[Dayton @ttiddg12]

None of the World Cup stadiums have been used in friendlies so far. You would expect a sky sports reporter to know this…

[WestLoopTom @WestLoopTom]

Correct.

[mark @mkhoops2]

The billionaire class should be eternally grateful for the dopes, meatheads and conservatives who will willingly and unnecessarily carry their toxic water.

Incredible stuff.

[Matthew Downen @MattD34]

That’s our first opponent

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

LOOK AT THIS SCENE 😱

Paraguay received an insane send-off at their final home game before the World Cup 🇵🇾

[Matthew Downen @MattD34]

Play @ Wrigley Field lol

[Mike Grinnell @MikeGrinnell_]

Why dont the Bears play at Northwestern’s new stadium for next two years. Knock down solider field. Build a new one in the same place but much better.

[Matt @nosoupforgeorge]

As an Oakland fan, my heart goes out to all Chicago sports fans today.

Billionaires don't need public funds to build their stadiums.

[Flows @FlowsAndolini]

Bears asking to pay less taxes than a Nordstrom and cheesecake factory and I'm supposed to blame the state for saying "hold on man"?

[Danny Rockett @SonRanto]

The #Bears are worth 8.9 billion dollars. 8.9 billion seconds is 282 years. They can afford to buy their own stadium.

[Brian Callaci @brian_callaci]

Fenway Park was built in 1912. There is no parking lot. The team tried to shake down Boston to help them replace it in the 90s and the city said no. It is still there, everyone loves it, and the team still makes a ton of money.

[Matthew Downen @MattD34]

I NEVER leave games early

[Matt Lindner @mattlindner]

Had I done this -- and to be clear, I never ever ever would have done this had I been fortunate enough to go to this game -- you could not have waterboarded this information out of me and ESPECIALLY if I was the MAYOR OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO.
