Let’s be honest here, he wasn’t allowed to make this decision on his own without risk of a consequence. He had to get approval from the Cubs front office to attend this “funeral”. If the rules don’t consider this an automatic reason to miss a game, I think it warrants open discussion. This isn’t tee-ball, this is professional sports and guys have sacrificed much more to play in games with stakes. And yes it matters because a poster is saying we should go out and acquire the dude. Unfortunately character does matter and this player has some baggage behind just skipping important baseball games to attend the “funeral” of an extremely polarizing right wing media personality he BFFed up within the last year. I guess that his decisions to resist Cubs coaching should also be ignored due to your full support of all people’s individual rights.

Yeah, only person who's allowed to judge people based on individual anecdotes, events or actions is CK!

Being away from Chicago I love hearing the accent. There is a group that meets for every game here and I haven't gone in a couple years, now I hate being the wagon jumper.

Ain't no pearl clutching like a soxtalk pearl clutching

Who gives a s%*# what Cubs player did during the season. Nobody here should give a s%*# if he went to a funeral or not, he is human and allowed to make his own decisions. Just because they don't align with you doesn't make him a shitty person or teammate. Nobody knows Matt Shaw the person to pass judgement on his intentions or beliefs. Keep standing on your "morale" high ground

Chicago White Sox's Offseason FA Signings Trades Magathread

We got torched by Romeo Doubs yesterday. Puka might put up 200 on us if our offense can keep up.

Let me guess, Shaw asked Busch, Justin Steele and a few other “neutral observers”

Philly fans in a nutshell.

Plenty of people pretend to be apolitical or just delude themselves into thinking it is true. The reality is the complete opposite.

I just read in the Tribune 70 million of that is deferred. Cubs taking a page out of the Dodgers playbook.

.........alright then.

I find that not true and self serving.

Like this fan view of DJ Moore’s touchdown, from front row in the endzone

Was it cold? Do they sell coffee/hot chocolate?

I never said anything about not upholding ones standards. I just noted, accurately, we all root for people we disagree with politically because frankly, we don't know where everyone stands. I find it absurd to root against someone because you disagree with their politics but to each their own.

I'm a Broncos fan

30 rec, 350 yds, 5 td. Bears win in triple OT, naturally.

Oh he is gonna touch us lol. I'd bet the over on 150 yards. But the Bears can still win though.

Puka against the Bears defense is a very scary thought

2nd round? Buffalo & Jacksonville are AFC, bears wouldn't see them until the SB or are you a patriots fan, I'm confused (ignore if a stupid question)

that's why I wanted the eagles, paper tiger but I'm not gonna lie, I want that SF rematch in Chicago for the championship game
