Haugh on Jerry Reinsdorf asking for public financing for a new White Sox stadium: 'It all rings hollow, it smacks of hypocrisy and it’s galling and upsetting'

(670 The Score) Score morning host David Haugh isn’t buying what White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is selling.

As Reinsdorf recently asked the state for around $1 billion in public financing to build a new ballpark in the South Loop, Haugh was fired up by Reinsdorf’s history of failing to spend big and his threat that the next owner of the team will move the team out of Chicago .

“Not only did Jerry Reinsdorf show up in a leather jacket to address the state legislators to ask for a billion dollars in subsidies for a ballpark that he has yet to share how much he’s going to invest in, a day later he goes to Crain’s Chicago Business – who I guess he now views as his friendly media outlet – and he threatens to move and he cries poor that he can’t compete because the ballpark is outdated,” Haugh said on his show Thursday morning. “Whose fault is that? And how are you in the same city as the Chicago Cubs and going to claim what he’s claiming with the history that he has in not investing in a team? It all rings hollow. It smacks of hypocrisy. And it’s galling and upsetting. You have every right to be infuriated.”

The White Sox have played at Guaranteed Rate Field, previously known as Comiskey Park, since 1991.
