Yeah I never understood that. I don’t know if it is because the Bears and Cubs are more popular and people just care more about those teams or if it is something else. Doesn’t Reinsdorf have some sort of media ownership with Chicago Sportsnet? Maybe that influences things.
It really is the fact that the Bulls are not as popular as the other teams. No one cares except us zealots. Plus the ownership of the Blackhawks when Wirtz owned them, everyone who owned the Cubs prior to the Ricketts and The Mccaskey family all make Reinsdorf look like a great owner. He is far far far from the worst owner this city has had in a much less valued team.
In fairness he was burnt to a crisp in 99 after the dynasty broke up but at that point there was still interest in the Bulls. Still in 99 he was the best owner in Chicago by a country mile.
