Neil Steinberg and corporate bought media more responsible for Chicago Cubs popularity than actual play or importance

    The Chicago Cubs won the world championship of pinball or pin head ball and many twentysomethings took to the streets and celebrated erasing their experiences with the major disappointments they didn't experience decades ago. The Chicago media -- former owners of the club-- the Chicago Tribune  and other outlets have pushed this sport into the ears and eyes of Chicagoans and this process is often repeated through out cities across the land. The newspapers are long bought  publication of mass media for the corporate shills pushing ports as a distraction taking away all space to labor news as one doesn't even come across labor-related news stories as one use to a hundred years ago with the abuses and practices of powers against the working conditions of the lower and middle classes.

 News stories of baseball teams should be in the back of the daily paper and the amount of publication space given to Chicago's sports teams are both offensive and appalling by new print media companies. Any institution that price gouges as big time sports should really never be allowed this relevancy and newsworthy as the Chicago Cubs have achieved this October and idiots like Neil Steinberg giving them extra boost and power in their daily "NEWS" column is shameful.  Neil Steinberg is a perfect example writing a column recently pushing the lame narrative and silly notion that these drunk fans of this team celebrated the long awaited miracle of this baseball team. If handball got the same publicity and money thrown from the corporate power structure there would be fans of this or any other sport. Todays columnists in print like Neil Steinberg push the corporate agenda and fandom of baseball or other major sports is a necessary objective for this industry and its success of creating popularity for something deserving of none should not be underestimated and is an intended fulfillment depriving news sources of real and relevant consequences from being distributed. there is no miracle for some team finally winning a championship and the results are inconsequential in the real problems facing the masses with massive numbers of people going unemployed and homeless while the media focuses on the tribulations. Neil Steinberg says he loves sport. Fine. The problem though is not everyone loves sports and as a political columnist he needs to stick with newsworthy events and not events that only old people and young drunks need reason to get excited about in their apparently  boring mundane life that is so affected by the humdrum play of strangers on a diamond.
