Bears Disavow Brian Urlacher After Social Media Post on NBA Protests
The Chicago Bears organization distanced itself from Brian Urlacher after a controversial post on social media.
The Hall of Fame linebacker criticized the NBA protest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, comparing it to Brett Favre.
"Brett Favre played the MNF game the day his dad died, threw 4 TDs in the first half, and was a legend for playing in the face of adversity," Urlacher said in a since-deleted p, via Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "NBA players boycott the playoffs because a dude reaching for a knife, wanted on a felony sexual assault warrant, was shot by police."
