MLB Gets Its First Openly Gay Owner

The Chicago Cubs may not have won a World Series since 1907, but they accomplished a first when they completed the team's purchase by the Ricketts Family. That sale was finalized on Oct. 27th, and with that, the Cubs are the first Major League Baseball team to have an openly gay owner.

they suck....he sucks....sounds like a match made in heaven

[Moral Majority]

Wow, a pervert as a MLB owner? Not surprising.

[that27th one]

if everyone just wants to be accepted and treated the same - why make announcements about your race, religion, preference and all...

John Rocker's career must be spinning in its grave!

I agree, bimbo!

Heterosexuals should stop with the public weddings, the engagement announcements, the rings, the discussion of dating experiences, the high school prom, and above all get the photos of the spawn of the desk at work. Keep it on the down low and stop shoving your lifestyle choice down everyone's throat, you loudmouthed str8 people.

Praiz!

The only team with the owners box in the locker room.

"Among the purchasers is Laura Ricketts, an out lesbian who is also on the board of the gay rights organization Lambda Legal. She came out to her family in her 30s."

She may not know much about baseball

But she does enjoy an occasional Double-Header...

Perhaps she'll switch the Cubs to softball..hey, they don't seem to be any good at hardball, so maybe it's a good idea.

You're much funnier when you do your Jack McFarland impression than when you do your crazy atheist thing. Just so you know.:)

The New Owner doesn't have a Box, but he is packing a Bat and a Couple of Balls.

[Bat and Balls]

Boy do I have egg on my face. The Owner does have a Box

[NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS]

The first?

Everything associated with sports in general is gay.

Sports are just an excuse for one group of gays, er guys, to go and touch another group of guys. And when they're done the get naked and shower together...nothin' gay about that. Queers.

Hmm...

There's something for the folks at Wrigley to chew on

[Tom Tom]

The owner doesn't have the balls to play baseball.

[LOL]

Perfect!

[skipper]

Wow a gay baseball club owner...

Golly gee if this trend continues we'll have openly gay actors and actresses.

Possibly even openly gay politicians..

[First Class Jerk]

The owner has little interest in strikes, just balls...

[notyou]

And this is newsworthy why??

Attention Homosexuals

Since the Dawn of Man, freaks like you have been running around sticking things up your butt.

Since the Dawn of Time, Society has said "Hey you freaks, that doesn't belong in your butt", and shunned you. You are freaks.

Today, Society still says "Hey you freaks, that still doesn't belong in your butt", and continues to shun you. No government mandate nor Hollywood glamour is going to change that. Freaks.

In one thousand years, Society will still say "Hey you freaks, get that Robot's penis out of you butt", and then they will shoot you with their ray guns. Evaporated Freaks.

Moral of the story. You are freaks. Nobody cares if you are freaks as long as you keep your freakishness to yourselves. You aren't "breaking new ground". You never will.
