To the Ricketts family and the Chicago Cubs organization,
As lifelong Cubs fans and members of the Cubs community, we read the statement the Cubs issued June 2 regarding the protests in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Additionally, we appreciate the team’s decision to use the historic Wrigley Field marquee to join with the voices of thousands calling for an end to racism in Chicago, the use of the same marquee to mourn the death of George Floyd and the Cubs’ decision to join citywide charitable efforts to support the South and West sides of Chicago.
