The Chicago Cubs curse still lives on

Tweet

Many people tend to believe that there is a curse on the Chicago Cubs because the team won their last World Series in 1908. That's 108 years if you are counting. Although many people think that the Cubs can win the World Series this season, the team was dealt a severe blow when LF Kyle Schwarber tore ligaments in his knee after colliding with CF Dexter Fowler in a 14-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday evening. Schwarber will be out for the entire year. The team has enough depth to withstand the loss for the season, but they will miss Schwarber's big bat in the playoffs. Schwarber was the only one that was able to hit consistently in their NL Championship Series against the New York Mets. Furthermore, Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump has threatened to strike back at the owners of the Chicago Cubs, the Ricketts family, for paying Super PAC's to place negative Trump commercials upon the masses from time to time. What in the world could Donald Trump have on the owner of the Chicago Cubs? Well, one thing that Trump has on the Ricketts family is their inaction in putting an end to the curse. The curse upon the Cubs did not start due to the goat or to Bartman. The curse was placed upon the Cubs because former Cubs player Cap Anson was the catalyst that caused for Major League Baseball to remain segregated until 1947. If you do not believe me, then check out capanson.com. The solution of putting an end to the curse is if the Cubs organization denounces the cruel and hateful acts done by Anson and offers a formal apology to the public for what Anson did during his tenure as a former player and a former manager. The problem is that the organization has not issued a written formal apology in regards to the man that segregated Major League Baseball during the late 1800's. The Chicago Cubs curse still lives on because the organization chooses not to formally apologize for Anson's blatant racism.
