what are you talking about? Are you saying a fan was escorted out for shouting racial slurs?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm saying one, five, fifty, or whatever amount could have been. How would anyone know? I guess if it was a huge problem where a fan was getting kicked out every game we'd know about it, but I don't believe the Cubs is going to the newspapers reporting everytime they kick a fan out especially if it's for a lude or racially insensitive reason.

It absolutely would be a story. If they're willing to run a story about vague insinuations about racially-charged incidents with the fans, then why wouldn't they run a story about an *actual* documented incident? At the very least, it seems like Sullivan (or whoever) would reference actual incidents if there were any.
My guess (emphasis on guess) is that Bradley has heard plenty of ignorant, insensitive stuff. The same sort of stuff that, say...Kevin Gregg might hear. Bradley is a sensitive dude. Bradley has heard about Hawkins and Jones getting shit on. Bradley puts 2 and 2 together and comes up with 5. "The fans called me a douchebag, or a sack or shit, or (whatever). They're doing that because I'm black. They hate black people."
The guy doesn't like to play in a hostile environment like Wrigley. He wants out. Is there an easier way to accomplish this?
