Cubs fans have a reputation for being racist.  We have heard it time and again from many different sources, although all of them have been African-American until now.  In recent years Dusty Baker, Latroy Hawkins, Jacque Jones, and now Milton Bradley claimed to have received racist hate mail and racist taunts in the field.  Although [...]
