Adidas took a pretty nice jab at the Chicago Cubs over their handling of star prospect Kris Bryant
As we head into the 2015 Major League Baseball season, a lot of people are disappointed that we won’t get to immediately see the talents of Chicago Cubs prized prospect Kris Bryant. To add another year to their relationship in the future, the team decided to start him in the minors for the first 12 days of the season, a decision that has left a lot of people shaking their heads.

Apparently some of the people that are really shaking their heads are the folks at Adidas, who decided to let their opinions be known in maybe the best way possible.
To get their point across and kinda life the spirits of Cubs fans that are disappointed, the company unveiled this billboard right outside of Wrigley Field.
Well, one thing that is definitely for sure is that Theo Epstein and the rest of Cubs management will never be able to forget how much their decision was maligned by not only Cubs fans, but fans of baseball all over.
And Adidas is not staying silent about the ad either. Adidas director of baseball, Aaron Kahn, had this to say about the act.
“We just wanted to make sure to tell the folks in Chicago that they have a great thing coming,” Kahn told ESPN.com.
Kahn also noted that the company is going to stand by their man.
“He sees this as a challenge, and we’re his partner here to support him along the way,” Kahn said.
You have to admit, while Bryant won’t be on the field for the Cubs during Opening Day this week, he’s caused quite the stir in the league.
