a lot more. seriously. when i look at the players making the gripes, they're all the same. whiney and excuse making, chip on the shoulder, underperforming players. jones, hawkins, and now bradley. all of them came to chicago with poor attitudes and all of them bitched when they didn't play well and the fans let them have it.
it all comes back to the way society is now. there is no chance in hell that fans are going to scream racial slurs at players and get away with it. it just isn't going to happen. if the surrounding fans don't take care of it themselves, then security surely will. in this day and age, nobody is going to get away with racist comments in a stadium of 40,000 people. sorry, not going to happen.
does that mean it never happens? of course not. racism will never disappear completely, but i guarantee you that the fans making those comments are dealt with quickly. there isn't a doubt in my mind.
bradley is a douchebag. if he'd just shut his fucking mouth and play the way he's supposed to, people will love him like they love derrek lee, who i believe is also black, but i could be wrong.
