Skating is big in Chicago. There's a lot of hockey; a lot of the boys play hockey. And figure skating is big.
I work for the Chicago Cubs, a team with a following so loyal and adoring and a history so forlorn that we were known nationwide as the Loveable Losers.
I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special.
I'm a Chicago Cubs fan. I grew up in Libertyville, Illinois, and attended my first game at Wrigley Field when I was four.
When you win, it's definitely there. The energy definitely goes up. That's the way you want to keep it. That's the way we love it around here in Chicago.
I love the Bears.
The Chicago Cubs are like Rush Street-a lot of singles, but no action.
I love Chicago, but I didn't think I had enough soul to be a Cubs fan.
I don't think the people of Chicago should be robbed of their birthright to be perennial losers.
My favorite thing to do in this world is to be on the ice playing hockey and try to entertain fans and bring wins to the Chicago Blackhawks.
It's great to be able to continue my career in Chicago. Playing with the best organization in sports and the best fans in the game is a blessing.
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan.
I'm a Cubs fan, a Bulls fan.
I'm a White Sox fan, and the Blackhawks.
There's a lot of pride I have coming from Chicago because so many great players have done so many great things in the league. I definitely want to keep that tradition going. So yeah, I want to represent Chicago in the best light possible.
I think, yeah, Chicago is the best basketball city in America.
I'm the biggest Blackhawks fan ever. I've been going to games since I was 6 years old.
It was a great time to grow up in Chicago. It was the mid-'80s, and we had the '85 Bears and the Michael Jordan era.
I think for me, personally, I'm a guy who has watched ESPN ever since I've been growing up. You turn it on, and it's one of the first stories - the Blackhawks and hockey, which you don't really see on that station. That's cool to see.
I had been a basketball fan growing up, and I felt that if we brought in the proper coach, and we played basketball the old fashioned way - where defense is paramount and offense involved movement off the ball and movement of the ball - we could build a winning team, and Chicago would respond to that.
Knowing the opportunity to win a championship here in Chicago, right now, that's the main motivation for me.
I don't want to say this in a lame way, but D. Rose is one of my heroes. His whole story and background and what he's done for communities in Chicago is super inspiring.
I just want to play well, have the people in Chicago enjoy watching soccer. You have a very good baseball team, a very good ice hockey team, and a very good football team. Hopefully you'll have a very good soccer team.
In Chicago, they die for their teams.
As a citizen of the great city of Chicago, I find it impossible to root against the White Sox. The White Sox organization has been much more consistent, in my lifetime at least, at putting a winning ballclub on the field.
