Local #2 Letter
A statement from the CFD Union:
- Dear Brothers & Sisters,
Thank you to the Chicago Fire Department Blaze Football team for another great year. I have been supporting this team since its inception 9 years ago. This is a great fundraiser against our rivals the CPD Enforcers, which benefits our Gold Badge and Gold Star widows and orphans, it’s very competitive and a lot of fun, and I hope that we can continue this yearly fund raiser.
I was appalled and embarrassed of the classless behavior of one of our members this past Saturday. This game was about honoring our Line of Duty Death Brothers Paul Bauer, CPD and Juan Bucio, CFD and their families for their bravery and commitment to the City of Chicago. This was not the place to make a self-serving, attention drawing, pot stirring statement. This person has not made this statement at any other games this year. He chose this game for this classless act for his own personal gain.
I apologize to all the CPD and CFD players, their families and friends who were upset by this selfless act.
Fraternally,
CHICAGO FIRE FIGHTERS UNION,
Local No. 2
James T. Tracy, III
President
Well stated Sir.

Thank you Local 2 for the kind words.
Should read selfish act not selfless Act
It was a 'F U' to the police. How original.
It doesn't mean shit.
The guy who did it ain't shit.
He just proved he ain't shit.
Go take a knee in the blood soaked streets of Englewood where no cameras can find you.
Or take your ass to Afghanistan and take a knee. They don't have the luxuries that you do there. They're not playing a game. That's real sacrifice. What this guy did was punk shit.
FUCK YOU McGarity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The act was selfish and inconsiderate, as well as disrespectful, but it was not "selfless".
Nice job Local 2 making it known that you don’t associate with or condone the actions of one of your members.
A class act on your behalf that another union can hopefully take a message from in the future.
God Bless our first responder brothers, Paul and Juan.
May they Rest In Peace.
I believe it was a typo when his actions were described as ‘selfless ‘ which was probably used many times in the past describing the heroic actions and sacrifices of our brothers on the CFD.
I’m sure the typo should have read ‘selfish’ instead.
The rest of the article tells the true tone and intent of its publishing, so let us not split hairs over an obvious typo on behalf of Chicago’s Bravest from our Chicago’s Finest.
God Bless and watch over all our fellow first responders.
Paul and Juan will forever remain in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
Rest In Peace our mutual brothers, ‘on the job.’
The CPD and CFD are both hands working together,CFD are the ones Who work on us When we get hurt at Fires We make sure We make your Scene safe.
How about following that up with suspending that moron for about 3 games until he learns when its appropriate to protest.
Fraternally,
CHICAGO FIRE FIGHTERS UNION,

What a class act, wish you could give a few pointers to FOP...
How about kicking him off the team all together? He can’t grieve it...
Love CFD
Keep in mind that the purpose of these teams is to support charities. So every game they play is for a charitable cause.
Is this hump still on their team?
I always wanted to get one of those "Fuck the Police" t-shirts. I remember cruising through beat 624 one beautiful midnight when I saw 2 "sisters" with these shirts. It was right after one of those ghetto crap concerts. With a big smile on my face, I yelled out at the sisters, "Hey, where can I get one of those shirts". They looked at me but didn't say anything. They looked embarrassed. I don't know why! If they wear shit like that, they should be proud of themselves.
Just remember that when fire calls for help.
Thank You CFD brothers and sisters. and a big fuck you to the one kneeling CFD “community memeber”.
He knows what he is.

Huh? "Suspend"? That dumb SOB should never be allowed to play again.
I'm appalled. Just when you think this shit city and some of the shit they hire can't possibly sink any lower. Might as well call it the "bloods and crips" game. It just breaks my heart to think of those kids from CFD and CPD growing up without Dads or Moms from this job and seeing this asshole doing that.
It could have been just as easily one of our own knuckleheads. This isn't a CFD thing.

Im sure this is exactly what this moron wants so he can get his very own payout. These assholes know all the angles and how,to work the system.
Short sheet his bunk......
Boycott the firehouse by Division and a Western where this loser resides. Works on the 2nd shift-so, today, Monday, Thursday, Sunday, next Weds...
He failed to add a last paragraph that should have read, that FF has now been kicked off the team forever. Until you can send out that last paragraph, your statement falls on deaf ears and is pointless.
Just another Obama worshipping fool. Hope he enjoys the next 6 years of Trump making America better than it ever was
The guy is looking for a reason to sue so just ignore him and let him dig his own hole, he will be gone soon enough
Still don't like firemen
Toss the bum off the team .

Nope. That's retaliation and "racism."
...Well, that's what an entitled, attention-seeking
shit-head manifesting his stinkin' thinkin' would say...
How about kicking his ass off of the football team.?
Whoever that man (if you can call him that) is so brave and hates the police so much, encourage him to do battle of the badges instead. I can promise there are more than a few coppers willing to step into the ring with this clown. So how about it?! Put up or shut up. Good job local 2 for putting this out there like it needs to be. We appreciate you.
People don’t change, so keep that in mind when dealing with that mutt. He may still try to draw attention, whether it’s at a fire scene or social event. Watch your back.
What a piece of shit, should be kicked off the team
So now what? Fuck suspending the jagoff, throw him off the team............
Thank You CFFU no.2, This hack successfully stole some of the attention of what this meant for us but that POS didnt steal the outcome or end result. The fallen will never ever be forgotten but that ass clown wont even be thought of except for when I'm sitting on the pot.
I must have missed the part of the letter that stated the loser is no longer a member of the cfd team.
He s joining forces with those 2 desk nimrods..not surprised, I saw many anti police haters wearing the uniform in my career.
Respect
The CFD is becoming like the CPD both jobs suck
Piece of shit !
The apology from the fire union is nice.
But what is the CFD and/or the fire union going to do with him?
When my neighbor's dog shits on my grass, an apology is nice,
but who cleans up the mess and who ensures it doesn't happen again?
Nice apology from the firefighters labor union.
And the response from the CFD Commissioner and his Exempt leaders of men! Silence..........nothing but.
Thank you for the heartfelt response to one assholes stupid, ignorant actions, Local 2. Because of one political party rule for 70 years, there are many unqualified, entitled individuals in all branches of city government, but in the police and fire departments, we now have traitors among us, and ultimately, some good people are going to be at risk. It has never been more important to know who your friends are, and who to keep at arms length.
Nice letter. Hope they follow it up with the moron being booted from the team. If not, the letter rings hollow.
Don't give him the opportunity to sue over some claim of prejudice, malice or retaliation of his civil rights. Leave him on the team, take whatever charitable funds you can from him and never let him take the field. Use him as a tackling dummy for the other players at practice and bench him. He'll soon quit and they'll be done with him and his ignorance. Theyll just have to have him go fill the Gatorade bottles during the National Anthem. He's on the team and has an assignment. No harassment, no retaliation, he can quit if he wants without any resistance or actionable claims.
Nice response from the CFD union. I wonder if the fire department brass will follow suit and condemn the actions of their employee.

Typical
The only reason Tracy put that blast out was because he got wind that the FOP President was going to be interviewed on NBC5. Tracy's actions did nothing but fuel this guy's fire.
The team let him play in the game after that unpatriotic display, so apparently they only become upset with him after the picture began making the rounds. Too late for sorry.
When that firefighter showed bias on the field for whatever reason I do not know , would he show that bias when going to a fire or ambulance run,???????????
I think he meant to write selfish.
This police officer is sick and tired of being unappreciated, insulted, blamed, sued, being used as a punching bag, being judged by a group of untrained police haters and having to live in this unpoliced out of control violent city. I’m outta here and will never encourage anyone to take this thankless job. We are nothing but lambs being led to slaughter. No thanks.
Bravo sir bravo
The president of the Local 2 should hold a vote and have this goof kicked out of the Union.
It's time for a "Code Red" in the bunkhouse. Someone call Jack Nicholson!
Is he Off the team, or not?

This comment sucks. The kneeled, not the entire dept. One bad apple DOES NOT spoil the bunch. Thank you to the fire union pres for the kind apology.
He is lucky that my father is dead, a WWII and Korea veteran and a retired CFD Batt. chief. I promise that he would have found a legit way to get this goofy pos put in his place.This is beyond disgusting and if you look at facebook there are actually cops that defend this idiot.

Maybe you missed the fact that the union and the CFD don't control the team. They can't decide who's a part of the team.
You know its very likely this thug has the IQ of a fairly bright chicken.
I mean the hiring practices forced upon the city starting in the '80s didnt exactly make city employment a Intellectual feast. I came on with people who could barely spell and then watched them go up the ranks.
