 Tuesday, Feb 5 A series of emails obtained and published by Splinter News on Monday appears to show Joe Ricketts, the patriarch of the family that owns the Cubs, sharing and endorsing racist jokes and conspiracy theories. Ricketts and his son and team Chairman Tom Ricketts issued separate statements regarding the emails after they were posted. Islamophobia was prevalent in many of the emails. Others mentioned the faith of former President Barack Obama. "I deeply regret and apologize for some of the exchanges I had in my emails," Joe Ricketts said in a statement. "...
