They don't care about the Cubs; they don't care about Wrigley Field; they don't care about the fans; they don't care about Chicago; all they care about is making money. And don't get me started about how they've desecrated beautiful Wrigley Field with their stupid electronic scoreboard and advertising all over the walls.

I debated with myself to not be a Cubs fan anymore in protest but I just couldn't do it. My love for the Cubs runs too deep.
