Dick Allen Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) They said they are working on something to "celebrate" fans. So Soxfest is done, until they win enough they feel safe. Cowards won't face the music. Just more lack of accountability. I wish someone in the media would call them out on it. For it to be August and they have nothing tells you all you need to know. These things are booked often years in advance. Tom Ricketts seems like a bit of a weasel to me, but he faced the music. I think I mentioned this before, but its often been written on the site that the White Sox hate their fans. I always used to laugh at the ridiculousness of that statement. But every passing year, it seems more and more likely that the statement is true. Fans are just the necessary evil to them.

South Side Hit Men Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) This is how the Sox celebrated Fans and Fall last off-season. Edited August 11, 2023 by South Side Hit Men 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Lol why would they have it. If this year is even more of a clownshow than last year and the same people are running said clownshow, there's no reason to believe it will happen. There is literally zero reason for fans to be excited about anything with this team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Rick Hahn is the anticromulent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The owner hasn't attended in over 10 years, same with KW. This to me is another indication that Hahn is out he door. This is more about former players, seminars and baseball BS. Nobody would have gone last year or this year to listen to the nonsensical idiocy of Rick Hahn. I'd actually like to hear what KW had to say, he was usually a good listen. Didn't they feed us the same line of BS about honoring the fans somehow last winter? What a clown car of an organization. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 They don't want to be here, fans are moving on to other things and finished with this franchise. Just move finally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were listening to fans and replacing the GM, wouldn’t they want to give that GM a chance to go in front of fans and try to get on their good side? This sounds like them knowing they won’t be changing anything so they have to shut the door to keep the complaints out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I thought it was possible last year they struggled with the rebooking of all the covid conventions and they got unfavorable rate or couldn't get the date or whatever. But this is hilarious. They are such cowards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 There are two things we know for sure. 1.) They will not have Soxfest. 2.) There will be no front office changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I was a huge supporter until about two years ago when I finally accepted the facts. And not Texas. Still too much competition for a JR led organization. Mexico City or Guadalajara would be perfect. Huge market. Huge appetite for baseball. Great fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Sox probably see this as something expensive that, for now, will just make fans more pissed off during a time of year at which the anger is at more of a simmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ironic thing is that Soxfest would sell out in minutes just so everyone could tell Hahn and company to piss off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
