Chicago White Sox confirm that fans no longer have to watch

The Chicago White Sox have become a clown show and fans don’t even have to look beyond this past week to realize the embarrassment that the South Siders have become.

At the General Manager’s meetings earlier this week, White Sox general manager Chris Getz told reporters that he did not like the team as currently constructed.

To any fan who took Getz’s comments as some sort of misguided indication that the team was headed in the right direction, let me remind you that Getz was not an external hire. Getz did not join the White Sox’s front office, look over the roster, and come to the realization that he did this week. Not only has Getz been a part of the organization but he was the director of player development before he was promoted to general manager. The reason why Getz does not like this team is because he failed at his job before and likely will fail again.

And news flash to Getz, White Sox fans haven’t liked this team for the past two years, either.

On Thursday, the White Sox provided even more reason for their fans to abandon the trainwreck that is the White Sox’s organization.

The Chicago White Sox continue to sink lower in relevancy as they let play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti leave for the Detroit Tigers.

The lifelong White Sox fan who not only became the television voice of the team but one of the most respected announcers in all of professional sports left the organization for not the Los Angeles Dodgers, not the New York Yankees, but the Detroit Tigers.

The White Sox have never cared for the intelligence of their fanbase and the second paragraph of their press release is more confirmation of that. The White Sox want their fans to think that it was a burden for them to have Benetti double as a national voice. There has been a sense of tone-deafness from the White Sox since they won the World Series in 2005 and it has reached the point where there is no longer a reason to like or trust anything that the organization.

Thursday has become another day in a long list of days recently that have confirmed that not only do the White Sox not care about their fan base, but they no longer care if you watch their games either.
