I find it hard to believe that TLR refers to himself as a "Hall of Famer Baseball Person". That sounds like something a person who never watched any sports would refer to an athlete as. Are you one of them baseball people? Or if he did use that phrase, he must have been ready to blow .25 . Then TLR must always be drunk, because he always sound this arrogant.

Eminor3rd Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Wondering how much of Hahn's obvious displeasure in the announcement of TLR's hiring was because he knew about this as opposed to just having his authority undermined with the decision.

ThirdGen Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 We also need to remember the JR has made probably millions of dollars selling alcohol at Sox and Bulls games over the last 4 decades. I'd be willing to bet at least 50 cars leaving each game have a driver in it who would easily blow > .08 . There is a bit of hypocrisy at play here no matter what he does.

That's not what I said- my point is JR got rich in part by selling alcohol to Sox fans knowing some would hit the road drunk after the last out. Not exactly someone who should be considered likely to be a member of MADD. If he keeps TLR he is endorsing drunk driving to some extent, but hasn't he been doing that indirectly for years?

reiks12 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 12 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: Ok, I'm now over 30 sponsors who are either official team sponsors or who had clear ads in the ballpark last year. If you do business with one of them, reach out. Be polite, the person on the other end of the email may not even know they advertise with that team, and they're unlikely to be aware of this situation, so explain the details - you are advertising with a team that is now employing a manager with 2 DUIs, including one this year that they won't comment on, and ask them if that is the type of business they want to be supporting or reflective of their corporate beliefs. Some of them easily available through social media, lots of email addresses, a good number of phone numbers and web forms you could fill out. Several beer vendors, several car companies. They lose a couple of these, Tony LaRussa is gone. Has anyone here dealt with Mazda of Orland Park at some point? They look like a huge pressure point. Big account. Full list is posted a couple pages ago, or available here.

RagahRagah Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 1 hour ago, Rowand44 said: Brooks has always been good at getting back to fans. Like others have said, I feel for these other Sox employees who are now put in this situation to deal with this mess while in the meantime the guy that put them there just gets to run and hide. This is the prime reason for my contempt with corporate America. You can't access the people in conversation that the bithcing needs to be directed to. And so the low level employees who have no say so over anything have to eat all the shit. The people who need to be eating it are laughing all the way to the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
