Why World Series Win For Cubs is Terrible for America
Conservative Review ^ | 10/26/16 | Rob Eno

As a 43-year-old lifelong Red Sox fan, I understand heartbreak. I know exactly what it’s like to be a Cubs fan as they hurtle toward another potential devastating post-season loss. That’s why I should be excited and rooting right along with Cubs Nation as they set their sights on their first World Series title since 1908. But I just can’t get into it. Why?

Because their owner, the Ricketts family, has done more to kill constitutional conservative campaigns this election cycle than just about any group in America.

Glad to have another reason to root against them. And as it turns out, the biggest of all.

Well, given the superiority of Cleveland’s pitching, and what with this being “The City of Cleveland’s Year”,I somehow think the Cubbies might be waiting until next year for their third WS title ...

Go Indians. I was born and raised in Ohio. Moved to Michigan for work 27 yrs ago. But still an Ohioan at heart.

Chicago needs to keep their community organizers and domestic bombers in line and start employing Rudi Gulianni's policing policies.Until then their sports teams can go to hell.I'm with Cleveland all the way.

After all,there's a real chance we can take Ohio!

I was already rooting for Cleveland - this just makes it even easier to do so.

Is this similar to Ervin “Magic” Johnson being part owner of the LA Dodgers? Morality in play?

The 2016 Republican National Convention was in Cleveland.

Hillary was born in Chicago, Obama is from Kenya , uh oops, I mean Chicago.

I'm a Red Sox fan.

I could care less about the Cubs this year.

FReegards!

I worked stridently to help State Sen. Mike Crane (GA) overcome the Ricketts (Cubs owners) money that got his GOPe opponent the nomination in the 3rd Congressional District. But I’ll be damned if that keeps me from rooting for the Cubs who hadn’t made it to the WS in 71 years!!! Not everything in life needs to be viewed through the lenses of politics.

Just another reason why I hate the Cubs and never want them to ever win any games.

“Not everything in life needs to be viewed through the lenses of politics.”

*ding ding ding* - We have a winner. Sir, I agree with you and salute you!!!

Part of the EVIL foisted on America by the Left is the politicization of EVERYTHING in daily life.

That is pure, unadulterated EVIL.

Go Cubs Go!*

*I am a Yankee fan, but the Cubbies have held second place in my heart since I went to school in Chicago in the mid 1980s ...

Also keep in mind on only 3 occasions have the republicans won when they NL team won the world series (1908, 1980 and 1988).

It’s looking like the Cubs might win its first WS game in 108 years.
