Ricketts Family Scrutinized Over Patriarch Joe's Emails

2.5.2019

Cubs Chair Tom Ricketts is distancing the team from a series of emails that "appears to show" his father, TD Ameritrade Founder Joe Ricketts, "sharing and endorsing racist jokes and conspiracy theories." Some emails made generalizations about Muslims, and others "mentioned the faith of former President Barack Obama." Tom Ricketts said in a statement, "My father is not involved with the operation of the Chicago Cubs in any way. I am trusted with representing this organization and our fans with a respect for people from all backgrounds. These emails do not reflect the culture we’ve worked so hard to build at the Chicago Cubs since 2009" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 2/5).
