Of course it's political. He's not doing it to get money from Rahm or the city of Chicago. He was funding it due to his own political beliefs. My response to fisch was that him doing so should have no political bearing on the situation with Wrigley and trying to fund the renovation, hence they weren't playing politics in that aspect. The media(what a surprise) made it political and made a story out of it. It wasn't a political move to get the money or not.
What Ricketts does politically and with his money shouldn't have anything to do with the decision of Rahm to fund Wrigley's renovation or not, but unfortunately it will, like fisch said.
