This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

There is a tweet in there with a Crest. It's God awful.
These people really can't get out of their own way.
Keep the Fire, ditch Bridgeview.
(as an aside, I think the cries of SW suburb folks not wanting to head to the city for games is bullshit. They do it for the Cubs, Sox, Bears and Hawks now. The argument has been used time and time again to defend Bridgeview. It's BS. If the team is in the city, it will pull fans from all over, including the SW side, assuming there is plenty of access to public transit. And I say that as someone who has driven and parked/tailgated for Bears games, and has walked the pedway back under LSD to catch the El or a cab heading to Clinton and Madison)
