The longer the silence goes, the more I tend to agree with you.

I think they’re hiding behind the “ongoing case so we can’t comment” excuse.

I think cancelling tickets and following up after all of this and saying "this is bullshit and I was right to cancel" resonates.  I really do

I think every single contact adds up.

There would have been less (basically zero) backlash if we had just hired Hinch lol

Your dreaming, the Chicago media and fans love controversy.

Possibly. I don't think many fans will actually dump their season tickets due to this.

What will add up is if sponsors start dropping the team. Jerry Reinsdorf cares about $$$ more than anything.

Wish I pulled the trigger on the 20 game season ticket package last year just so I could call and cancel it today.

buy one online then call in and cancel it.

Why is this surprising?  They showed their hand last night, they’re not commenting because it’s ongoing.

I mean, they can say that but they're not attorney's nor do they work for the Phoenix PD so there's no reason why an ongoing investigation muzzles their ability to speak on it.

Right, I'm not sure what people are waiting for. We've already heard everything the organization has to say. They're just hoping this won't be a topic of discussion when the season rolls around

Are you Not Steve Cishek and this new Al's account? The guy clearly made an account to parody the legitimate Portillos account/source. Why are we sharing what this account tweets?

Disagree, this is Jerry (and Tony) against the world now.  It’s a crappy feeling when it seems the owner despises the fan base.

It only took 7 years for that scenario to take down Paxson, so we only have 7 years to go.

They don’t have to consider putting him on leave until the case is closed with there being no games.  They’re letting the legal process play out, as pathetic as it seems.

Well I had plans to purchase a ST plan... and I'm not going to now.  So...

No I’m not and btw I’m not going to stop sharing Al’s Cheesy Beef’s tweets just because you don’t like the tweets. Just joking, going forward I’ll just post PortillosHamburger tweets. ?

I already emailed my account rep that I had been talking to.

We need Whitesoxdave to go chain himself to the statues in front of the park until they fire Tony

When I spoke to my rep - and this was after the hire - he seemed like it had been a tiring day. I imagine today is similar if not even worse; or at least I can hope.

The crazy thing is it's not like this is the end of the controversy - it's the beginning.  This is not just fading away, it will rear its head again at the end of the proceeding.  "Wait it out" is all well and good if Tony beats the charge, but what if he doesn't?  Remember - this isn't a case where there's merely a breathalyzer refusal.  The police obtained a subpoena to draw his blood.  After obtaining (and presumably testing) his blood they decided to bring charges.  It doesn't look particularly good for TLR.  If they're going to hire him no matter what (which seems likely) they should just announce it now rather than letting this linger for months.

Eventually TMZ is going to get an arrest video from this and I’ve got a bet with my wife that the next big thing is him doing a Mel Gibson.

My wife bet in reply that it will turn out he did a Judge Roy Moore and that will leak out next.
