How did this story not get some attention? Or is it that it happens so much, it's no longer news? http://abc7chicago.com/news/cubs-fan-says-he-was-beaten-outside-us-cellular-field/119599/ Tuesday, June 17, 2014 CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago Cubs fan is recovering after he says he was attacked and beaten outside U.S. Cellular Field following a White Sox game. The 28-year-old says he nearly lost his eyesight in an attack that is now being investigated by police. A detached pupil, a fractured globe and six stitches to his left eye. This is not what Steven Rebenda ever thought would come of a trip to U.S Cellular Field. "They kind of surrounded me in a little triangle and were running their mouths," he said. "I noticed one guy down here playing with his hand a little bit. Next thing I know I get sucker punched in the face." The incident happened last Wednesday when Rebenda, a self-professed Cubs fan, went to the White Sox game with friends. It was his first time at U.S. Cellular Field. "I'll give it to them, U.S. Cellular Field is freakin' awesome. I had a great time," he said. The problem started after the game when Rebenda says he was just outside the stadium leaning against a trash can by the parking lot and three young men started heckling him because of what he was wearing. "I had a White Sox shirt on and a Cubs hat," Rebenda said. "I mean, I'm a Cubs fan, but I wasn't going to go all in Cubs gear. I know better than that." A server at a restaurant with four children to support, Rebenda is unable to work until his eyesight stabilizes. But he says his coming forward is not about money. "I just don't want this to happen to anybody else," he said. "I think this is ridiculous. Everybody is trying to make this about, 'Oh he's just a Cubs fan trying to get PR.' This isn't about the Cubs. Or the Sox. This just shouldn't have happened in the first place." As for the White Sox, a spokesperson says the public's safety is a top priority and he confirms they have been in touch both with Rebenda's family and Chicago police to try and determine what happened. |

He was on Brandmeier too basically trying to get people to donate for his medical issues... then some caller came on and asked if he was the one busted for retail theft a few years ago and he said, I turned a new leaf... then trying to pin him down on the details of the story, sounds like he didn't help matters. |

Probably happens a lot during the Sox v. Cubs series. There were at least three or four large-sized brawls at the last game I saw back in 2007. |

Maybe he made fun of the Sox Social Lounge. lol Can imagine JORR and GD if the cubs opened a Cubs Social media lounge, the outrage would be unending.

They dont go to the picnic areas, the stores, the hall of fame area, the mist area, the fundamentals deck, the bar, the dining areas, the bullpen bar. They watch games! It's tough to spend $4.5 M each year of the states money on new stuff! |

If someone bumps you and says "dude" and you go back and say "what the f*** man", you are escalating the issue. If you just say "no prob man" then you won't get your face beaten in mercilessly. Pick the hill you die on, and if you are a Cubs fan, you shouldn't pick a hill on the south side. |

I imagine someone said fuck you fucking burrito cub fan and he probably stepped to them and said something back. After that, it's on you. |

went to the Sox game on Sunday and had a portly Mexican dressed in a Fukudome jersey and Cubs hat sitting in my row. I cannot remember the last time I went to a Sox game and didn't see several people sporting Cubs wear. |

I am not a violent person, but it really infuriates me when I see one of these losers who wears an item of clothing from each rival team. If somebody is wearing all Mets gear, I will probably laugh at them behind their back, but I will not fight them. If they have a Mets jersey and a Yankees hat, however, I may have to throw down. |
