Cubs? White Sox? Villanova? Different claims made to Pope Leo XIV's fandom after election
Briefly

Pope Leo XIV, originally Robert Francis Prevost, made history as the first American pope, generating buzz from Chicago sports teams. His election was celebrated by the Chicago Cubs, although his brother clarified that Leo XIV was actually a fan of the Chicago White Sox, attributing any confusion to their mother's allegiance. The excitement reached Villanova University, where Leo XIV graduated, with alumni expressing their joy and anticipation of having him on their podcast.
"He was never, ever a Cubs fan," Prevost said. "So I don't know where that came from. He was always a [Chicago White] Sox fan."
"Roommates Show," a podcast hosted by Wildcats-turned-New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, joked that they'd be having their fellow Villanova alumnus on the show in the near future.
