Is Kerry Wood Now A Liar?

Finally, somebody stood up and talked about what was going on with the Cubs.  Cleveland Indians closer and ex-Cubs ace Kerry Wood didn’t dismiss the notion that Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley and other African-American players may have experienced racial insensitivity during their time in Chicago. “I know just from the experience of playing with those guys, and I’ve seen some of the mail that they get, obviously not a lot of us get that kind of mail,” Wood said on “The Waddle & Silvy Show” on ESPN 1000. “I didn’t, but there are people out there that got their beliefs.” Wood said he saw some of the mail that was sent to former teammates LaTroy Hawkins, Jacque Jones and former manager Dusty Baker. “It’s tough to sit there and read that,” Wood said, “and it’s tough to even understand what those players go through.” Good for Wood to step up like that and admit the truth.  The current cowards in the Cubs clubhouse could learn something from Woody.  The people in the media could learn how to accept that racism still exists and stop pretending as if Wrigley Field is full of wonderful people who treat their players with kindness and respect.  I just wonder how much **** Wood is going to get for saying this.  Any other player who has attempted to call Cubs fans racist in any way has been hated.  Will Kerry Wood be treated the same way, or do Cubs fans just reserve that hate for the blacks who claim they were the victim of racist insults?  This will easily be the most interesting thing to follow over the next few days unless you’re interested in the Cubs sale being finally final.  h/t to berselius
