Joe Ricketts’ racist emails could cost Cubs owners trying to oust Tom Tunney

Updated: Aug 6, 2024




Joe Ricketts, the billionaire founder of TD Ameritrade and patriarch of the wealthy family that owns the Chicago Cubs, has found himself embroiled in controversy due to a series of racially insensitive emails.


These emails, which were published by Splinter News, reveal bigoted views and offensive statements. For instance, Ricketts referred to former President Barack Obama as “a liar and a cheat” and propagated nonsensical and racist “birther” theories about Obama’s birthplace.




The controversy has implications for the ongoing political slugfest in Chicago’s 44th Ward, where incumbent alderman Tom Tunney faces opponents in the municipal election.



The situation underscores the delicate balance between sports, politics, and accountability within the Cubs organization.
