Yeah, Right

According to today’s Sun-Times, the developer working with the White Sox has reached out to the Bears to create what he calls a “financing partnership.” This I got to see. Would it be a partnership like two wolves hunting, or two lions? Maybe two jackals, but jackals aren’t known to share. And the whole idea here is to share whatever flows into the public trough. Again, this I got to see. The optics also promise to be awful for Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, if he’s seen as a self-proclaimed “progressive” championing public funding for not one but two stadiums that will only increase the value of billion-dollar franchises. Plus, to make it all happen, the McCaskeys would have to work in tandem with Jerry Reinsdorf. See “jackals,” above. Would they both want entertainment campuses? Are the Bears now thinking of renting their new home? What happens if and when Reinsdorf hints he’ll move the team if the funding isn’t forthcoming? Oh, the questions when jackals partner up.
