In reply to the discussion: Fuck the Cubs: Cubs Apologize After Playing ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ for Accused Domestic Abuser [View all]HereSince1628
(36,063 posts)18. I wondered that too and I don't know.
Yesterday, I listened to a Chi sport radio station for an hour while driving. The discussion and call ins were mostly about the playing of the song.
Why the song was played wasn't addressed, and I didn't hear anything that may have been a statement from the guy who played the walk-on music or his representative.
That sports radio station had a week or more ago had discussions about how the addition of Chapman to the team was going to caste a shadow on the image of the team. Everyone outside the club seemed to expect bad news sooner or later.
Now, that certainly has happened.

I don't know how to answer that. Except to say, his comments don't reflect any remorse.

Book-marked. Liberals claim to be smarter. A recent post suggests research backs it up

I'm pretty impressed a 19 year old song still causes this much controversy
