Bears Chairman: I Thought Brian Urlacher's Post on Protests Was Result of Hack

Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey hopes to speak with Brian Urlacher after the Pro Football Hall of Famer's controversial comments on social media about the NBA player protests last month.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, McCaskey said he initially thought "maybe [Urlacher's] account had been hacked."

McCaskey added the team has reached out to Urlacher, but they haven't been able to get in contact with him yet: "I want to talk to him. I'm not going to judge him until I do."

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Urlacher criticized NBA players for refusing to take the court for playoff games in the wake of Jacob Blake being shot in the back by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
