Chicago Cubs Have Lesbian Owner

Full story: lezgetreal.com

Friday, The family of billionaire Joe Ricketts, the founder of Omaha, Neb.-based TD Ameritrade, paid $845 million to buy a 95 percent controlling interest in the Chicago Cubs, their ballpark, Wrigley Field, and 25 percent of Comcast Sportsnet…. And with that purchase, The Windy City Times is reporting that the Chicago Cubs, possibly Major League Baseballs unluckiest team, will be the first team with an openly gay owner, because among the purchasers is Laura Ricketts, an open lesbian.

It matters because of the extreme homophobia that exists in all professional sports in America. There isn't a single openly gay player in all of MLB, the NFL, NHL, or NBA.

Lesbian or not, I hope they will dish out the money for more decent players - something the stingy old Tribune company did not want to do for years. I also hope they are sensitive to the neighbourhood (which for those unfamiliar with Chicago is quite close to Boystown) in any future update plans for Wrigley.

They are a baseball team, not Molly Maids. Someone needs to clean your clock.

I agree with the clueless fussbudget on this one.

Str8 people should get the photos of their spawn off the desk at work. Their lifestyle choice is not relevant to their employment.

It is not how much you spend, IT IS HOW YOU SPEND IT????? Not on old washed-up players or trouble makers, it is spent on players who have the DESIRE to be WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Aries

Financial muddles are more than likely today so be careful if you're going shopping. You might be accidentally short-changed or there could be a misunderstanding about how much something costs. This isn't a good day to lend friends anything valuable in case they don't return it or they damage it in some way. Better safe than sorry.
