Chicago Cubs are being forced to give up their World Series title

Posted on 11/12/2016 6:37:35 PM PST by rey

Cleveland Indians fans have rioted across the country in protest of the 2016 World Series. Despite knowing the rules of the game prior to playing, they were unhappy they lost and demanded the outcome to be changed.

They could be heard chanting #NotOurWorldSeriesChampion all across America. Even though the Cubs won 4 games and the Indians only won 3, since both teams scored 27 total runs throughout all 7 games, they are being declared co-world champions.

When questioned, Commissioner Manfred stated, "We felt as though it was the right thing to do for the nation. What kind of example would Major League Baseball be setting if we expected the adults who play this game, and their fans, to gracefully accept defeat? Instead of creating a bigger divide between the Cubs and Indians, MLB is confident that the Cubs will gladly share their victory with the Indians."

Sweet. Looks like the “Cry-in” that 5 of my bearded, beer-gut buddies had really did work!

WOW! And I didn’t even have to post that it was satire. You guys are getting better. My 12 year old girl, however, is lit up over this. Should I have her read Swift’s Modest Proposal?

Actually the Indians scored one more run than the Cubs through the end of ninth inning of the last games. Precious snowflakes would all agree that makes them the winners.

And now, the paper is "bleeding readers — and money," said Goodwin, who admits he's "pained" by the rival newspaper's decline, and how it gave "all reporters a black eye."

Holy crap, they're printing truth! Will the wonders of a Trump win ever fail to please!

Starve all the liberal papers, and make them fail and go under. The American people deserve better newspapers than the NY Times.

I thought you were very abstract in your response and I was too stupid to get it.

Don’t wear a Cubs hat out in public folks?

They are smashing car windows, beating people...

As I understand it there are over tow million Cleveland fans who have signed the petition.

1972 Canada vs. USSR Summit Hockey Series. Probably the greatest sports event in Canadian history. 8 games 4 in each country. Canada wins it 4 games to 3 with one tie. In the USSR....nyet...USSR scored more goals in total.
