I don’t hate the Bears. Far from it. I don’t root against them or want them to lose. I’m genuinely happy for them. But Bears fans are making it very, very difficult to wrap arms around what’s happening as they ignore what’s really going on.
It’s been building all season long — right now “apex” might be the biggest understatement in Chicago sports history. It’s like the whole city has turned into a Kanye “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” verse. No one is trying to hear any sense of reality when it comes to the Bears. They’re acting like current members of a certain administration concerning a certain insurrection: What we’re seeing is not what we’re seeing.
