I am one of the life-long Cub Fans who called it quits for watching games each week when they left OTA TV for Marquee. Could I afford it? Yes. But, willfully pay to watch games on a channel that *still* includes commercials? Eat my shorts. I’ll either listen on 670 WSCR or just read the daily game recaps.

The less most people see their team playing, the less they talk about it. The less they talk about it, the less they’ll want to go to the games. People stop thinking about the team. Revenue eventually goes down from every source. 📉

Put the Cubs back on a freely-accessible channel and the graph starts going up and to the right again. 📈
