f all the artwork Cubs manager Joe Maddon has introduced to his players this spring, the most powerful display appeared Thursday at Marlins Park during batting practice before the Cubs’ 8-4 victory.

In a walking exhibit of empathy, Cubs players wore maroon T-shirts with “Stoneman Douglas” on the back and “#MSDStrong” on the front, an opening-day tribute to the 17 victims of the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. Maddon’s foundation, “Respect 90,” purchased the shirts for the Cubs.

Wtf?!

That’s paid for political advertising by a publicly owned team!

F ‘em and demand NRA gets equal advertising on the field.

I thought Chiraq with its tough gun control laws had gun violence licked?

Oh wait....

More liberal virtue signaling from the Chicago Cubs.

MLB has eaten of the apple which the serpent offered.

Anyone still not convinced that the Parkland Pricks are a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DNC/Soros/CAIR/BLM/MSM consortium?

Sports is becoming more political these days.

Maybe the Cubbies should patrol the south side Chicago neighborhoods with baseball bats every weekend. I’m sure it would be highly effective

Lifelong Twins fan.

The CP is a huge Cubs fan, so, I adopted the Cubs as my NL team.

They just got cut.

Maybe the Chicago Cubs could educate themselves about the real criminal in Broward still at large.

F-these primadonna political attention whores. I don’t have any allegiance, nor give merit to BLM, but liberal whitey sure is only concerned about whitey. How many were murdered in Chicago before Parkland and not one peep from these fidiots? I also guarantee most of these morons own guns. I thought MLB would not go down the toilet like NFL but here we go.

So why is it that liberals want more laws when they do not expect to obey them themselves?

I long ago limited myself to the NHL & TENNIS. Now the NHL is starting to skate on thin ice with me. And tennis with it’s supposed hoity-toity attitude has not become PC. I just watched Davis Cup doubles and I did not hear one PC statement or word.
