After all of these years, I’ve finally conquered my fear of drawing @Beyonce! This is my first drawing in over a year. Every time I have a hiatus like that, I get terrified that my skills have fallen off. This was just the challenge I needed.

People don’t talk enough about Daniel Burnham’s 1909 Plan of Chicago. What an absolute masterpiece of city planning and to secure the entire lakefront for public use.

Real humans want to sacrifice this because the 15 minute walk to the train is too much for them

Average rapper: I’ll kill you in your sleep

JAY-Z: Administer pain, next the minister screaming your name
At your wake as I peek in, look in your casket, feeling sarcastic
“Look at him - still sleeping”

[Caleb Williams Fan Club @The_Burns29]

Shoutout to the @NHLBlackhawks and the @ChicagoFire for reinvesting in downtown Chicago and Illinois. How cowardly of the @ChicagoBears to run from your fans to another state to find harbor because the taxpayers of IL refused to shoulder the costs of your stadium.

You blackmailed a hospital while Daley sold our street rights to Saudi's. You're a felon

[Matt @nosoupforgeorge]

As an Oakland fan, my heart goes out to all Chicago sports fans today.

Billionaires don't need public funds to build their stadiums.

[Matt @nosoupforgeorge]

Folks in the comments saying "It's a short drive" are missing quite a few points.

One of which is: no one should have to rely on a car to get to a sporting event and then pay an arm and a leg for parking. People should be able to take public transit.

George Halas started this franchise in middle of nowhere Decatur, Illinois. He loved this state. Illinois is the Bears.

George McCaskey has continuously let him down for what he did for the Bears. If he was alive today he would have never let this happen

[Flows @FlowsAndolini]

Some folks talk about the Bears in this "ma and pop" language like they're not the 10th richest sports franchise IN THE WORLD

[Brewers Babes @BrewersBabes]

The rare props to Illinois for not being bullied into publicly financing a stadium

[GFed @GfedGoCrazy]

Stadiums outside of city limits once this is completed:
NBA 0/30
MLB 2/30
NFL 9/30

[Herb Lawrence @Ecnerwal23]

I’m glad the Illinois politicians haven’t caved to the Bears. Let Indiana pay the taxes while Illinois still reaps the benefits because folks will stay in Chicago, not Hammond

[Kendrick Lamario & Luigi @Jayleejnr]

I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, taxpayers should not have to kick in a dime on these stadium projects. If you can’t afford to build one as an owner, maybe you shouldn’t own the team.

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

This will go down as one of the most greed driven, unpopular decisions in the history of sports. Right?

[Flows @FlowsAndolini]

Bears asking to pay less taxes than a Nordstrom and cheesecake factory and I'm supposed to blame the state for saying "hold on man"?

[Jacob Infante @jacobinfante24]

Kevin Warren:

• Has done nothing with the Arlington Heights property the #Bears spent $200 million on
• Lied about the extent of negotiations with Brandon Johnson
• Has made several media statements with no real info
• Makes himself a focal point in locker room speeches

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

honestly one of the most humiliating decisions in professional sports history and proof that there are no adults left in the room trying to advocate for the League, just a bunch of billionaires trying to shake every last quarter out of their piggy banks

[Jacob Infante @jacobinfante24]

I’m now convinced every move the #Bears make is just a leverage ploy to get a better deal out of the other side

Kevin Warren is the king of declarative statements that actually mean nothing

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

I can’t believe they bluffed themselves into this.
