Chicago Sports: White Sox, Cubs, Bears, and Bulls plus FC St. Pauli

Both Chicago and Hamburg are great sports cities, so today we're discussing the history of Chicago sports with a detour through St. Pauli. Andrew Sola and his expert guests (Peter Alter from the Chicago History Museum as well as Elliott Gorn from Loyola University-Chicago) discuss the following points: -FC St. Pauli -Promotion and Relegation in European Soccer -Pro Sports Cartels in the US vs. the 50+1 Supporter-Control Rule in Germany -The Role of Money in Modern Sports -The Pathology of Supporting Losing Teams -The White (Black) Sox Match-Fixing Scandal of 1919 -The Chicago Cubs -The Chicago Bears -Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls Between recording this episode and its release, the 2024 White Sox did indeed become the worst team in the modern history of Major League Baseball. On a brighter note, FC St. Pauli did win an away game. However, they still have not won or even scored a goal at home. The rant by Chicago Cubs Manager Lee Elia can be found here (explicit!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2pai2QQA54
