Tom Ricketts loses out on his lame minor league soccer stadium and will lose out on Cubs network

Tom Ricketts is a plutocratic billionaire like no other and since acquiring the Chicago Cubs the technocrat has tried more and more of a land grab in Chicago. Ricketts was defeated in his bid for a soccer league stadium in Chicago as his plan was rejected by a community grass roots movement by the citizens in Lincoln Park for  to deny this billionaire plutocrat 20,000 soccer stadium for some B league minor league soccer league called the USL.

The idea that Ricketts thinks a 20,000 stadium for soccer in Chicago was a necessity is laughable but especially one in a crowded urban environment as Lincoln Park and one with already a great music club scene and the defeat of  this corporate live venue and silly soccer stadium to be included in this development shows the power of community ion fighting back against the land abuses and overbuild of the scum and likes of billionaires such as this son of a bitch Tom Ricketts. There will be no USl soccer club playing in Lincoln Yards and a totally unnecessary soccer stadium for a team not even in Americas top soccer professional league and Tom Rickets and the greedy Ricketts plutocrats suck ass. With his denial of Tom Ricketts soccer stadium goes any chance of corporate waste going to it in deals for advertising in and around the stadium as Ricketts wanted more sports tribute spending form printed money for the global billionaire class to enjoy for themselves. The Live Nation planned concert conversion that would of been included in this development was also cancelled as the prospect of thousands of people coming form outside the community for rap concerts were too much for the neighborhood to contemplate.  Ricketts also is having problems and demanding a cable station of his own where he can charge cable customers 8 dollars to subscribe and watch boring baseball and for announcers to just ab lib  brand names throughout the game. This is the direction of sports on television and the advertisers spending tribute for Rickett's lame broadcasts but there is going to be push back form cable companies that he is trying to force to charge more to its customer base. The amount of space both on field reality and cable waves that Tom Ricketts wishes to be able to sell to has been prevented thanks to a strong pushback from the residents of Lincoln Park and Bucktown.
