Bears could reportedly be up for sale soon due to 'internal strife' in McCaskey family

One of the oldest and most prestigious franchises in the NFL could go up for sale soon. The Chicago Bears reportedly could hit the market due to "internal strife" among members of the McCaskey family, the team's current owners, according to Jim O'Donnell of the Daily Herald.

The Bears have been in the Halas family for five generations. Virginia Halas McCaskey, daughter of George Halas, is currently the team's principal owner. She is 98, however, and has allowed her son, George H. McCaskey, to serve as chairman with the team.

O'Donnell did not expand on which members of the McCaskey family are at odds over the decision to sell the team.
