The "Chicago Way"

I don't know what you're talking about. I've always been led to believe that Chicago has turned out an endless list of fine, upstanding individuals who leverage their high position in life only to benefit those around them...

That's a good start papi!

I always like the story about how The Rainbow Coalition instituted a boycott against Pepsi for racial discrimination.

The Rainbow Coalition ended their boycott after a brief period when Pepsi made concessions...it was thought the concessions were about minority hiring and treatment.

Did you know the Jackson family now owns two Pepsi bottlers?

Another blustery and bullying example of the Chicago Way!

Wear 'Em Down Chicago Way
(Sung to the tune of: Bear Down Chicago Bears)

Wear 'em down, Chicago Way, make every pay to play the way to victory.
Wear 'em down, Chicago Way, alight with all your might and so fearlessly.
We'll never forget the way you drilled 'em with elation at every location.
Wear 'em down, Chicago Way, don't let 'em know why you're making 'em frown.
You're the crime 'gainst the hoi polloi of Illinois, Chicago Way, wear 'em down!
