I don't think the Cubs want to broadcast isolated incidents of racism in their stadium. If it were to happen, I would think they would try to keep it low key. The fan was kicked out for "unruley behavior".
Look, you guys wanna believe that fans will dump beer on players, throw garbage at players, run on the field of play, interfere with the play, attack players, attack umpires, attack coaches... but won't yell a racial slur? Ok, I give in. If you can't beat them, join them.
Fuck Bradley. Fucking douchebag is throwing around lies about Cubs fans to save his own ass and deflect his bad play from months ago. I can't wait to see him out of a Cub uniform. Scratch that, I can't wait to see him burn in hell where he belongs with all the other assholes that throw the race card around to take advantage of others.

No one said that a racial slur has never been uttered in Wrigley. I think people are offended, and rightly so, by the notion that racism is widespread. Nothing I have seen, read or heard rumors about has convinced me that it is.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.

Deep down, we all knew that the Bradley era would end badly.
Is this the start?

It's like Bradley is hard-wired to get tired of any team that he plays for after one season. The biggest mistake we made wasn't signing him in the first place, but guaranteeing him a multi-year deal.

So, instead of broadcasting isolated incidents, they're broadcasting the notion that Wrigley is an informal Klan rally.

I may be mistaken, but doesn't Wrigley have a code people can text to security?

They do -- but they just introduced it maybe a month ago. It's pretty new and I don't think many know about it.
From an email dated August 7:
Today, with the assistance of Major League Baseball Advanced Media, the Cubs have unveiled a new Fan Behavior Text Message service to our season ticket holders. This service will allow you to directly text our Event Operations department when you witness a fan behavior incident while attending the game.
This system will provide instant two-way, text messaging communication between you and the event staff allowing for improved guest services. It allows you to alert us on all issues in the stands without you having to leave your seat to find an usher or security employee. It also will allow you to stay anonymous while reporting a problem in the stands without the fear of reprisal from the offender, in the case of an intoxicated or obnoxious fan.
To send a text message to us you will need to text “CUBS” & your Message & your Location to 78247.
Examples:
CUBS FAN SMOKING IN AISLE 224 ROW 5
CUBS FAN USING INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE IN AISLE 425 ROW 7
CUBS INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR BETWEEN FANS IN AISLE 112 ROW 8
Once we have received your message we will have a member of our event operations staff handle and respond to the incoming request. The staff member can send reply messages directly to your phone to help answer questions or obtain more information. If necessary the staff will be able to quickly dispatch safety/security, medical or event operations staff.

This is just what we need a fucking police state. Good citizens turn in your comrades. What is this fucking 1984? If you text in a complaint you're a fucking rat bastard. If you don't have the balls to ask someone to stop smoking, cursing, etc in person then just sit there in your own piss and text your mom.

Generally, I agree with your sentiment. However, if you are there with your kids, you can't risk confronting a stranger regarding behavioral issues.
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
