People Are Stupid, Part 645: Cubs Fans Suing Each Other Over Playoff Tickets
Ah, it’s that time of year again. Time for a Cubs playoff, a rebirth, a new season, the time of year when Cubs fans come together in the one spirit that unites us all: brazen greed.
Why, just run a quick search for Cubs tickets on Craigslist. You’ll find that nary a soul with a playoff ticket is wasting his chance to sell that ticket for $2,000, assuring that only rich assholes who never saw a game all year get to celebrate a Cubs World Series. These people are the worst in the world.
I thought so, anyway. We might have a new low:
Business partners Laurence Wright and Brad Ginsberg filed a lawsuit in Cook County on Thursday accusing Jerry Slavin, 84, of reneging on a promise to share playoff tickets with them. The men paid Slavin more than $15,000 earlier this year for his four regular-season seats in the first row of the upper deck and say they had a handshake deal with him for the postseason games. Slavin, who began going to the games with his father when he was 5, denies he agreed to such terms and says he would never pass up on a chance to see the Cubs make a World Series run if his health allowed.
Who has the story right here? I don’t know. All I know is that in the criminal justice system the People are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups. The police, who investigate crimes — and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These people have better things to do than worry about effing Cubs tickets.
