Well, Da Bears are looking more and more like they're moving to Indiana!!!!!

[a kennedy]

Just on faux noise, the Governor of Indiana was on blabbing about what Governor Pritzker of Illinois said, (sorry didn’t see him), but the previous felon Governor of Illinois, Blagojevich was yapping too.

1. As a diehard Bears fan since the days of Sweetness,

this is truly disheartening. Still hoping it doesn't happen.

2. Go For: You'll lose a significant number of your fan base.

Personally, I would lure another NFL team to Chicago to play in Solider Field:

The Chicago Beef
The Chicago Lakers
The Chicago Cheetahs

It was be the greatest Fuck You to the greedy, arrogant McCaskey Family.

The state already gave them millions in tax payer funds to redo Solider Field in the 2000's and they went cheap and did a bad job. Now they want a do-over for more taxpayer money? They still owe the state millions on the horrible make over.
HELL NO: Go and be the Indiana Bears.

PS: Have you seen the proposed Hammond, IN site?
It's in the middle of a foul smelling, industrial shithole! Good luck with that!

3. Professional teams demanding and getting billions in tax dollars, 30 year old millionaire college football players,

major league baseball having moments of silence for Charlie Kirk, and an Olympic hockey team full of Chump supporters. Sports is getting harder and harder to give a shit about.

5. So damn true

4. If they move to Hammond, IN, they should change their name to the Hammond Eggs.

6. My chuckle for the day*! Thanks!

*However, if they relocate to Dixieana, it won't be a laugh emitting from my mouth.

7. It's an old joke, but seemed appropriate here.

12. Oh, that's really good!

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. Thanks.

I heard that one long ago, and actually remembered it.

8. soon to be known as the "Fuck the Bears"

9. The Indiana Bears. Kind of like the New Jersey Giants and New Jersey Jets.

The only New York team is the Buffalo Bills.

[MichMan]

11. Who are still called the NY Jets and NY Giants.

Doesn't matter where they play.

10. not one cent of taxpayer subsidies. let em move to tehran if they way nt

15. In Illinois...

...they weren't asking for any public money.
They were looking for tax certainty, which could, if taken too far, freeze assessments at an unrealistically low number.
Then, it's indirectly taking public money.
But from what I've read, the Bears weren't asking for that. Just assurances that their very presence in Arlington Heights (and subsequent infrastructure upgrades) wouldn't trigger sudden & sustained assessment increases.
Like you, I oppose public money for stadiums. But, that isn't the issue in Illinois.

13. I am not a football fan, so this doesn't matter to me personally, but I think it's a...

...really bad idea.
