Wow!
Chicago had every opportunity to figure this out. The state had every opportunity to find a compromise. Instead, we got delays, finger pointing, posturing, and no real solution.
As a lifelong Bears fan and former player, I hate the idea of the Chicago Bears not playing in Chicago. That part stings. The Bears are part of the fabric of this city. But from a business standpoint, it just makes sense.
The NFL is a business. The Bears are a business. And at some point, ownership is going to do what gives the franchise the best chance to build a modern stadium, control revenue, create a year-round entertainment district, and stop waiting on politicians who can’t get out of their own way.
This is not just a Bears decision. This is a Chicago and Illinois failure.
You can criticize the McCaskeys. You can criticize Kevin Warren and the process. But if another city or state is willing to make it easier to build, easier to operate, and easier to grow the value of the franchise, then eventually the business is going to go where it is wanted.
That is the part Chicago politicians didn’t seem to understand.
You don’t keep iconic businesses, franchises, or institutions by assuming they have nowhere else to go.
Eventually, they do. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears
@Kirsten_Tanis1@ByAnthonyMiller Nope you must throw logic out the window and hit the panic button, it’s the off season I don’t make the rules…socals say he’s a bust so probably gets cut.
@ParkerMoes But not at least acknowledging the fact that he sat behind a hall of fame qb learning the game is equally as dumb, those years while maybe not starting helped him.
@Peter_Bukowski Love the brewers and it seems most of them don’t agree with you, i do agree with you, and agree that the teams not willing to spend are worse than any yankee or dodgers spending spree. Put a cap and a floor on spending.
