Prick Owner of Cubs cuts ground-crew staff in order to keep them under 30 hrs..

Yea, another right wing millionaire zealot hurting people because he wants to prove a point concerning Obamacare...And it fucking back fired, big time..

And the shit the Cub Spokesman threw out, stated it had nothing to do with the ACA, just trying to gain more productivity, you know “reevaluating”...

Should be noted, one of the most profitable teams in baseball!!

Always wanted to see the Cubs finally win a Series in my lifetime .. Even though I’m a New York Fan... Got so excited when they got close a couple off years ago.

But learning that their owner is a hateful dick, has me reevaluating..

and football and all those other sports that the owners feel entitled to taxpayer dollars to build stadiums and pay individuals many millions of dollars in order to reap many million dollars from their buds that own corporations and naming rights.

I'm so fuckking tired of reading about 110 milllion dollar contracts for people that play a game 3 months of the year.

The person in my book that should make millions of dollars are teachers, nurses, and the guy that comes out to your house in the middle of the night to run a snake down a backed up drain.
