The Brewers defeated the Cubs in 5 games. A series where the home team won every game, Brewers winning the first 2 at American Family Field, the Cubs winning the next 2 at Wrigley Field, and lastly the Brewers winning game 5 back in Milwaukee. In both interviews I talked about the series in general and what allowed the Brewers to come out on top. However, I also focused on the social media controversy that came up after the Brewers celebrated their win. They took a team photo with an \u201cL\u201d flag, which clearly mocks the Cubs \u201cW\u201d flag that they raise at Wrigley after every win. The controversy was whether or not they should have done that, it started heated banter between the two fan bases. The first interview with Grant was actually on his own radio show \u201cThe Wisco Sports Show\u201d and then the second interview was with a baseball fan who did not have a bias towards either team. Here is a link to a story talking about the celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/brewers-celebrate-field-l-flag-042842353.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIsbSs0j492VepNIvPvntFH74P5wXwR36RNwrEDu5cdnrIrCiU6FM6ObQi-kk0fNOYp7_XdFEJy3ee7fkwJ9bdZiPGbq_FRwJDwtPRbOCVTfchct--bWAnIp7-REJrlVwFJgk454O2tPoLBkcAH2uaobkwOqLtDrDyuYO5GEX1jD\">https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/brewers-celebrate-field-l-flag-042842353.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIsbSs0j492VepNIvPvntFH74P5wXwR36RNwrEDu5cdnrIrCiU6FM6ObQi-kk0fNOYp7_XdFEJy3ee7fkwJ9bdZiPGbq_FRwJDwtPRbOCVTfchct&#8211;bWAnIp7-REJrlVwFJgk454O2tPoLBkcAH2uaobkwOqLtDrDyuYO5GEX1jD<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the two Interviews.
