Chicago Sun Times: Tom Ricketts says Cubs will keep promise, follow plan set by local Muslim group
The Chicago Sun Times followed up with an article covering the statement released by CAIR-Chicago and the Cubs Organization.
“CAIR-Chicago asked the Cubs to support three community initiatives, including anti-bullying efforts, diversity and inclusion training, and scholarships. It also proposed a plan for the “participation of notable Muslims in Cubs and Wrigley Field tradition” and to create anti-hate PSAs featuring Cubs personnel that would attempt to raise awareness against racism. “We’ll follow through on all that stuff,” Tom Ricketts said reporters in a news conference Monday at Cubs spring training facility in Mesa, Arizona. “We’ll make sure our actions follow our words … We’re going to make sure that we follow up on this.””
