In a crossover clash no one saw coming, Chicago Cubs part-owner Jeffrey Lurie (yes, the same billionaire who owns the Philadelphia Eagles) has ignited a media firestorm — all because of… Sydney Sweeney?!
Sources say that after hearing the Euphoria actress and self-proclaimed baseball fan planned to visit the Detroit Tigers, Lurie allegedly told insiders:
“I don’t want any Red Wave showing up near my favorite team!”
(“Red Wave” being a tongue-in-cheek reference to Sweeney’s stunning crimson carpet looks — and her rumored political leanings.)
The comment has MLB and NFL execs doing double takes, as fans of both leagues took to social media either cheering Lurie’s statement… or cringing at what they’re calling a “weirdly territorial sports meltdown.”
😳 Cubs Fans Are Conflicted
Chicago’s loyal baseball base is now hilariously divided:
- “Bro, she’s hot and likes baseball. Let her in.”
- “Jeff Lurie is protecting the purity of the ivy. Respect.”
- “He’s scared she’ll turn Wrigley into Coachella.”
Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney’s camp has yet to comment — but sources say she’s still considering visiting multiple MLB teams this season… and the Cubs might still be on the list.
Stay tuned — because if Sydney shows up in a Cubs cap, Wrigley Field might never be the same.
