The Cubs’ loss had added to a relatively crappy 48 hours, so I and was excited for the VOD release of Bill and Ted Face the Music because I knew it would offer exactly the kind of mindless escapism I needed. My daughter turned 14 on Wednesday, which meant I’d remained more or less unplugged from the Cubs for the entire evening. Upon learning about Jason Heyward‘s decision to sit out the loss in Detroit, however, things started to get real.
Since writing about Heyward’s role in what is a much larger movement throughout sports and the nation as a whole, our Facebook page has been inundated with all manner of ignorance.
