There are only a few reasons to be proud to be a Cubs fan at the moment, but this is definitely one of them. Way to go Cubs organization and everyone who participated in the video.

[ConstableRabbit]

Great video!

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't get better for Cubs fans.

[jersey cubs fan]

Sure it gets better, if you can just pickup and go on safari!!!!!

 

 

 

Good job fellas, not surprised about the guys who took part in this. Probably would have guessed them. Bobby Dernier looks and sounds like a hungover wacky radio DJ.

[Sammy Sofa]

Really cool of them, but what's up with the bizarre way they shot Dempster? It's like he was sprayed by a skunk and nobody wanted to get near him.

Barney was reading cue cards ten feet above the camera, Dernier was wasted and possibly naked from the waist down. At least Quade looked at ease.

Tim Hardaway does not approve.

You would've guessed Bob Dernier?

[Sammy Sofa]

And sad to say it, but I'm really not surprised they got as few players as they did.

[UMFan83]

Good on the Cubs!

 

Bad on stupid White Sox fans that will surely add this to their "World's biggest gay bar" shtick.

Tim Hardaway does not approve.

 

Hardaway has done a lot to try and turn things around. How much of it is purely PR is unknown, but I know he's done something with the Trevor Project.

 

And yeah, it's too bad they couldn't get more players. I'm kind of surprised Carlos Pena wasn't in it.

[Sammy Sofa]

To be perfectly blunt, I'm not surprised at all that none of the Latino players are in it and I'm REALLY surprised/impressed that Byrd is in it.

Out of curiosity, why Carlos Pena?

Well the players, I barely even remember Dernier is affiliated with this team.

Because he's extremely well-read and intelligent and I have no problem with saying that homophobia and level of education are often inversely proportional. Stupid people dislike gays, smart ones don't.

He's educated.

[Exile on Waveland]

Good for them.

[erik316wttn]

Supporting a good cause. Good for them.

 

But when does it get better to be a Cubs fan?

[Tarver]

Ricketts should've popped up at the end and said "Jim, you're OUT!"

[SouthSideRyan]

??

[javy knows my name]

This is cool.

 

And this is something that the White Sox would never, ever do unless Ozzie came under fire for hurling gay slurs. So that makes it even cooler.

[Garwilly]

And how about Marla Hooch. What a hitter.

I can't be alone in not getting this at all.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's pretty baffling.
