"Jerry Reinsdorf's Push for New White Sox Stadium Sparks Controversy"
Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, who previously threatened to move the team if public funding for a new ballpark wasn't secured, now plans to leave a new stadium as a gift to the city, funded by over $1 billion in public money. Despite hinting at a future sale of the team, Reinsdorf insists it won't happen while he's alive. This about-face has sparked accusations of hypocrisy, given his past relocation threats and reluctance to invest in player salaries due to the current ballpark's location.
