Yeah, it sucks that you're getting booed, Bradley. I feel terrible for you. But these constant articles about Bradley being treated poorly...to what end? To make Cubs fans look like racists? To make us feel guilty? Is it supposed to stop a bunch of drunk retards from booing? Whatever. I'm tired of it.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't think the sterotype that Wrigley is filled with a bunch of know-nothing, booing morons is really that far off, personally. It's not like it's an image that's being concocted in the media, it's what's happening.

I hate to admit this, but most Cubs fans, and especially those in the bleachers know very little about the game and are only there for the atmosphere.
You could say that about all teams' fanbases, but the % of know-nothings is higher for the Cubs. It hurts me to say it.
