Go to town share broadly (feel free to credit me back here). Note there are probably some official sponsors I missed, that’s what I could verify from ballpark ads and various events, so more can be added.

If you do business with one of them, reach out. Be polite, the person on the other end of the email may not even know they advertise with that team, and they're unlikely to be aware of this situation, so explain the details - you are advertising with a team that is now employing a manager with 2 DUIs, including one this year that they won't comment on, and ask them if that is the type of business they want to be supporting or reflective of their corporate beliefs. Some of them easily available through social media, lots of email addresses, a good number of phone numbers and web forms you could fill out. Several beer vendors, several car companies. They lose a couple of these, Tony LaRussa is gone. Has anyone here dealt with Mazda of Orland Park at some point? They look like a huge pressure point. Big account. Full list is posted a couple pages ago, or available here. WhiteSox2020Sponsors.docx Great list! Inspire Brands bought Dunkin Donuts in late October, 2020. They own Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, and Jimmy John's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly someone who should be considered likely to be a member of MADD. If he keeps TLR he is endorsing drunk driving to some extent, but hasn't he been doing that indirectly for years? Unless you have proof that Jerry broke the laws here more than once, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only DD was advertised at the ballpark so I think that is the one to target (recently purchased would make them an ideal pressure point if they got 10-20 messages about this, they're not going to want their new company to have to deal with it).

venom4789 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Just sent my email to them also. Was very kind in the mail but made sure my point was made. Hopefully more do also.

Dick Allen Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 If a bad player gets a DUI, we say get rid of him. If a good one does, we say everyone makes mistakes. Tony is pretty unpopular so he is going to fall into the first group. DUI is a serious offense. This is his second time. I cannot believe the White Sox didn’t get out in front of this. It would have been so easy. Now they look like an organization that goes out of its way to hide things from its fan base. It makes them look very sleazy. I feel bad for ticket reps getting calls and emails. They did nothing wrong. Brooks Boyer is a good guy, and look what he has to deal with. He is such a good guy he returns messages. What can he do? But they made their bed. It is scary even the DUI couldn’t deter JR from this hire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
