The writer planned on interviewing all 40,000 fans from every home game this season, but he ran out of time.
I don't get why Bradley is willing to accuse the Wrigley crowd of being racist, but then refuses to cite any specific examples. And I think tom brought up a valid point. He's the most volatile player in the game. If someone said something racist to him, I'd fully expect him to drop his mitt in the middle of a play, scale they ivy, and hunt down the offender. But all we are getting are these vague accusations that are doing more harm to everyone (including himself) than good.
If someone is yelling racist remarks at anyone, they should be banned from Wrigley for life. But what good is painting all of Cubs fandom with a big racist brush doing?
