Common says that fans of the Chicago White Sox have to support their neighborhood rivals the Chicago Cubs as the latter try to clinch the World Series for the first time since 1908.
The Chicago native, a fan of the White Sox, appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers recently claiming that he wants to see unity across baseball fans in his hometown.
“Yes, a White Sox fan has to root for the Cubs,” Common said. “Even though there’s some hardcore White Sox fans who will not root for the Cubs and root against them … I’m bridging this gap. I’m about unity, and I’m from Chicago. I want to see the Cubs wins. 100 years. Come on … Even with [Steve] Bartman. [It’d be nice to see him] redeemed.”
