The point is that it is easy to claim politics when things are not going your way. And usually and unfortunately is an often overused claim.

That being said, I disagree with the claim that Chicago has the most politics. Or if it does have the most politics (from a baseball standpoint), the level is very lame. Baseball for example does not even come close to the amount of politics if you say only a certain few get games. If anything baseball is not a sport that lends too much politics as other sports because there are not as many umpires compared to other sports. In other words there are many games that need a body, and trying to figure out who is going to get them goes out the window when the game is 1:00 in the afternoon and a make up game from the previous day. Now maybe who gets the games first is a big deal, but I do not see that anyone outside of that as being that important. I can tell you it is much easier to get a lower level college game here than it ever is in the other major sports.
