Okay, Cubs fans I’m back. Despite everything I’ve gone through. I have swore off sports for the next year and I am not currently following up with current games, scores, or special game days. I still have a significant impact in the sports world.
Growing up in Chicago Lakeview neighborhood. I have been through so much. And gained knowledge of topics that the average individual may be unaware of. I’ve been watching the Cubs play since I was a little girl, working for them, and being mistreated by Cubs fans, employees, and anyone else in the neighborhood.
On my Mom’s birthday, I was directly in front of Murphy’s Bleacher as the Cubs won the World Series in another state. Living in the Women’s and Children’s Catholic Charity Shelter, located on Grace Street in Wrigley. To meeting and shaking Ben Zobrist’s hand.
Having my vehicle penalized and towed while working a shift at Wrigley Field (yes, I bought my 383 sticker the day before) to David Bote, my favorite player and one of the few remaining members of what we call a team.
Walking along Sheridan (near the graveyard) on the day the Cubs won the World Series, celebrating with people who appeared to be ready to rob me. I was a student at Harold Washington College at the time, so I had no money and ran away.
But anything from working at Taco Bell at Wrigley Field, where I was targeted by the manager and upper management because of my gender, outlook on life, and homelessness.
Working the Makers Mark entrance, when a Muslim man and his wife (presumed Cubs fan) stepped on my foot, pushed me, and yelled horrible cursing things at me.
I wore my cubs security jacket. You could see my red shirt, but he didn’t care.
I even watched a couple being escorted out of the ballpark after having sex in one of the Premier VIP club bathrooms. (I believe it was the Catalina Club.)
Singing Karaoke at the Brickhouse in Wrigley. I’ve seen it all❗️
From a Cubs fan who approached me during a Cardinals game while working at Taco Bell and asked if I knew where I might find the person selling cocaine?
I replied no and informed my manager, who directed that individual, who claimed to be a doctor from St. Louis, to one of the bucket boys, who was holding a laminated flier attempting to con Cubs fans for money.
The scammers then sold him cocaine in front of me. To being that girl who frequented the neighborhood bars, simply being a fan. After all of this, I am still a die-hard Cubs fan, and while my experience has been vastly different from most, I have been pushed away, rejected, and treated as if I am nothing, people told rumors and lies. You could almost argue that the cubs are losing because they forgot one.
Despite the fact that I cannot afford the tickets, I stay steady and committed. I believe as the Cubs believe. Because when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade.
But I’m not sure what’s preventing the Cubs from winning the World Series.
Do know it’s because of society. And some of the people on the outskirts are the most committed, whereas those who spend millions of dollars on sports fandom commit but forget to be kind to those in the baseball world. (Man, I have so many funny stories about being in Wrigley Field.)
Sports, like music, bring people together, which causes fury and can be hidden at times. However, this does not influence how people feel before and after the game.
And I believe that is why we are stuck: we are not evolving as Cubs fans or as a community; we are doing the same things over and over. Plus, the cosmos are unhappy, so we lose.
Here’s what I think will happen: the Cubs will play long, hard games while remaining focused.
The odds will not be in the cubs’ advantage because of our shared rhetoric. To win, you must let everyone in. No one left behind. Change people’s lives, regardless of their past, and make a difference, Add additional black people or non-Caucasians to the equation.
With that said, I am the sign you’ve all been waiting for.
While I dedicated my life to the Cubs and other sports, I was also able to pursue some of my own aspirations. I’m not flawless, but people have stolen from me, taken away opportunities that may have changed or improved my life, all while I was dealing with depression, solitude, and concerns of being different.
One of the reasons I haven’t been successful because others have stolen my innocence, tarnished my character, and I’ve been targeted by all law enforcement agencies worldwide.
What is there to do if you, like me, decide to give up? You think so❗️Let’s not forget I’m suicidal, especially when I see no end to the gloom. But I keep going.
It is now up to all of you to return the favor, but this time in a meaningful way.
Donate to my cause of ending homelessness and buying a house. And I’ll share my insider ideas, blessings, and prayers for any future World Series attempts.
If you don’t donate, I’ll still do all of that anyway❗️But the universe won’t be happy, if you continue to try and get rid of me, and I’ve allowed all of you to come into my life and critique me, pass judgment, and make harsh decisions.
So I’m asking for support so that I can have a genuine opportunity at a better life. Not a half of one.
The universe got me, but it isn’t happy. Or God. There are many more people that need assistance, but unfortunately, not everyone has the confidence to stand up to the entire community, baseball world, sports world, and entertainment, music industry, and ask for help.
Help me help you. So we can all help people pursue their ideal job, career interest, or whatever it may be, and end homelessness. Thank you & God Bless!
