Chicago is the rebuild capital of the sports world. The Bears, Blackhawks and Cubs are in the process of rebuilding, and the White Sox emerged from it in the last few years. The Bulls are the lone holdout, essentially skipping the rebuild phase by acquiring other teams’ veteran players.
Though their methodology was obvious, the Bears and Cubs have bristled at the word “rebuild,” and for good reason. It’s an indication that they’re probably going to lose a lot of games. The Sox didn’t have a problem with the word, but they certainly didn’t use it to promote the team.
