First off let me begin by saying I’m not some Charlie Kirk lover. But I’m also not a man blinded by facts. I will also say that 90% of this sub Reddit is clueless and dosent bother to research anything. I absolutely hate being involved in these conversations but I’m done with the fire this young man is receiving from his own “cubs fans”. Mods first off do better and be like the other cubs Sub that deletes these post. I hope you delete any and all post related to him and hope you delete this as well. But it seems like you aren’t so let me at least spill the facts on these” cubs fans”.
While in Arizona a couple of off seasons ago Shaw happened to be apartment neighbors with Kirk. Shaw and Kirk kept in connect constantly until his death in September 2025. This is an important piece of information because it totally debunks his WHOLE relationship with Kirk just being his “favorite podcaster”. This is a FRIEND that died not just a podcaster like you all like to imply. They would text literally every day with biblical scripture(the reason Shaw and Kirk were close in the first place) is a person you text everyday and literally live feet from still random to you? If so get a reality check!
Now that whole situation is behind us but now Shaw decides to attend a turning point event. Not during the season or any team activities, time on his own. And you guys still have the audacity to say some of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen from cubs fans? What happend to letting people live their lives? If another man’s life bothers you that much you have a serious problem, and I hope you get the help you need.
Again if a man attending an event during the offseason with his own time triggers you, you need to get some hobbies. Leave the man alone. Do better.
Kirk was a Nazi. Nazi supporters deserve to be called out 8 days out of 7. Fuck this guy.
I’m not a huge Kirk fan either but he wasent a Nazi at all. If he was please give the direct evidence of how he was. Kirk and them simply both had common ground on religion and Shaw hasent said anything about agreeing with him about politics
He was literally the face of the far right propaganda organization TPUSA.
If you wanna keep your head up your ass and pretend MAGA fucks aren't just Nazis by another name, be my guest.
He's literally speaking at an 'America First' rally. Shoving your head further up his ass isn't giving you the cover you think it is, jagoff.
Kirk said civil rights was a mistake. He said non whites should leave the country. He said gay people should be stoned to death. What more do you need exactly?
lolwut? I can’t believe people like you can actually vote… y’all keep throwing out the word nazi, but you have no idea what the third reich even was or what they actually did. Show proof that Charlie Kirk was a Nazi. I’ll wait…..
I don't argue with dumbfuck Nazi supporters.
"Happened to be neighbors" is doing an Atlas-level amount of heavy lifting.
Tell me, since you seem to know him so well and are comfortable speaking for him, does 'America First' apply to his views of his teammates as well?
Also, kudos to you for unironically typing out "if another man's life bothers you that much you have a serious problem, and I hope you get the help you need." God-level projection, that.
I don’t know him well I just know public facts that people like to avoid lmao.
Now hear me out, maybe we know the facts and just have no problem calling out bullshit when we see it. Have you considered that possibility?
Yeah, I don't get these ppl. They act like baseball players should be protected from any criticism b/c they want to be a part of a cult in their free time. They have no critical thinking skills to understand.
Have you considered getting a life and not acting like a toddler worried about another adult? wtf is wrong with this liberal ass sub? Y’all weirdos need to learn to stay in your own lane.
The best facts are the ones the came out of his own mouth. I don't need the media to sell me anything on him that I didn't hear from himself. If you don't have an issue with what he said, then you obviously don't get why others would be upset.
I’m not going to root for someone who is so bigoted that he doesn’t have sense enough to keep it to himself.
Shaw didn’t publicly address and make it known he was going to the event. He did keep it to himself, the media didn’t
Publicly addressing that matter means nothing at all. The point is he went. He did address it the first time he went and tried to hide behind it being a memorial, which it wasn't. It was a political rally.
Ok? Athletes go to left leaning events as well? So do I have to hate them now? Politics making people hate people. Thanks for the perfect example
Also, stop acting like ppl are preventing him from doing what he wants. No one is. If you don't like hearing ppl piss on him for aligning himself with a cult, then get of the internet.
Lol, you still don't see it, do you? So you're saying it was ok for Shaw to leave the team to go to a political rally?
Again, we're talking about a cult full of grifters, frauds, and felons, and I mean literally. Left rallies aren't a cult. They don't all wear dumb hats, they don't have booths everywhere selling you merchandise. They don't have 50 different celebrity speakers spewing hate while bowing to 1 man. Clearly, you don't see anything wrong with it, I'm sure, and thats sad.
how do we know about it? honestly, i’ve only heard that he’s going…but how did it get reported?
i agree with you what he does on his own time is his business but if he’s making it known or putting it into the news cycle, then it’s fair game to get the blowback.
People only know about the event simply because his name was written down inside the log book they have. He didn’t say a single word about it actually
log book? his image - in a Cubs uniform - is on the americafest2025 home page. they don’t do something like put your picture on the list of speakers without telling you and you agreeing to it.
he effectively put it out there. ppl have opinions bro…and they’re going to share them. this is not a “poor Matt Shaw” moment.
he’s not simply “going to the event.” he’s a featured speaker. he did not “keep it to himself.” he’s listed on the front page of the event’s site along with a who’s who of the Fox News idiocracy.
Shaw is not immune from criticism. Why would he be? It’s the right of Cubs fans to speak out if they’re disappointed in Shaw for this. He’s a big boy, surely he can handle it. Fox News are a bunch of pussies with a victim mentality.
The bottom line is if you support the president then you are a pedophile; ergo Matt Shaw is one, which means if you support the Cubs then you too are a pedophile. This isn’t hard to understand. Roughly 50% of the US agrees with me.
I agree. Dudes literally in the offseason minding his own business. People gotta find stuff to do nowadays lmao
Yeah, Nazi's might say that.
I’m boycotting the Cubs until every member of the organization has been vetted and every nazi thrown to the curb. As long as Ricketts own the team, you have blood on your hands if you support this team.
Just because I don’t let politics and religion determine if I hate someone or not? Wow there’s billions of Nazis then
