Wrigley Name Could Be Sold

In today's issue of "Nothing is Sacred," the Tribune Company has stated that they "won't hesitate" to sell the rights to rename iconic Wrigley Field.

You don't need to be a purist to find this outrageous, but there's a bit of irony in such outrage, as Wrigley was the name of the club's original corporate overseers.

Yes, but to be fair, Mr. Wrigley owned the fucking team and the stadium too. The modern equivalent would be Turner Field in Atlanta, which, while obnoxious, is not utterly disgusting.
