We are all die hard liberals as well.

When I heard this story, I sent a family email that it's time to
boycott the Cubs.
Stop watching their games, stop buying their merchandise,
until this plan is removed and Papa Ricketts apologizes.

Personally I'd like to see the league force Ricketts to sell the team
for being a bigot. Much like they forced Marge Schott to sell the
Cincinnati Reds for praising Herr Hitler. I don't see the diff. A bigot
is a bigot, is a bigot.

Anyway, when I suggested boycotting the Cubs to my brothers &
sisters, not one agreed. In fact I got more backlash then agreement.
