* Even with Laura, one of the Cubs sponsors is Chick-fil-a

* The father is anti Muslim

* The Cubs had a radio telethon for cancer research after Ryne Sandberg died this summer, but brother Sen Pete Ricketts R NE voted for the Big Turd of a bill that significantly cut federal money for cancer research.

I gave up my season tickets after the 2020 season because of this awful family.
