The demographic breakdown of your average game at Wrigley field is usually as follows:
99% white assholes.
1% people that the white assholes hope they don't have to sit by.
So why would it surprise me that a bunch of white drillrod fratboys were wearing Japanese kamikazi fighter pilot style headbands at the Cubs home opener on Monday?
"Ha ha, blatant racism is funny since we got ourselves a good 'ol Jappy on our team now hur hur hur," says Chad Middleton who drove his parents Land Rover all the way into the city from Glenview to get a chance to see the Japanese sensation.
Chad went on to describe how he came to be one of dozens of fans in right field also holding up offensive signs adorned with a Japanese phrase that neither Chad nor his friends Trevor or Gary could read. "Well, some dude at Murphy's handed me one of the signs. I figured it said, Fukodome rules or something in the Jap language."
Well actually Chad, the phrase translates as, "It was luck" or "It was accidental" which take away the offensiveness of the fact that fans were holding up a sign in a language they don't understand (unlike English, which some Cub fans sort of understand), it would also indicate that somehow Fukodome's hard work to get to the grand stage of Major League Baseball was more a result of chance than ability, talent, and dedication.
But then again Cub fans know all about luck don't they.
