Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey at first thought Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher’s Instagram account was hacked last month.
The eye-opening posts just didn’t mesh with the man he knows. And until they talk, McCaskey is reserving judgment. (Snip) As for Urlacher, McCaskey said the Bears have reached out to him. He would like to talk to their former star linebacker about his Instagram activity last month in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Urlacher grabbed headlines and irritated some teammates when he liked a post supporting Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old from Illinois who fatally shot two demonstrators in Kenosha protesting Blake’s shooting. He also criticized

If I was Urlacher I would talk with him and ask him to explain why he has a problem with the police protecting a woman from a man who had sexually assaulted her.

Backing Urlacher! Also, now that the NFL has decided to step into the political arena, what is their official stance on cop killers?

LEOs roll up to a 911 call with perps name and charges to include gun violation attempted rape and protection order in place. Perp ignores LEOs instruction and heads for his car to get "something"...gun? knife? These are people that normal folks never deal with. LEOs have a responsibility to safely go home to their families.McCaskey would wet his panties then scream for a LEO to protect him.

And by the way, McCaskey, when will you be talking to your other players who have that kneeling problem?

Not a thing wrong with anything said by Urlacher. Chairman Woke can shove his concerns up his pompous leftist arse.

After 34 major fires were set by rioters in Kenosha, destroying 30 businesses, Rittenhouse offered to help protect surviving businesses. When he tried to douse fires set in the business he was guarding, the mob became enraged and tried to wrest his rifle away. His life was in danger and he shot in self-defense. The mob then began baying for his blood and he ran to escape, but tripped and fell. One rioter bashed him in the head with a skateboard, one launched a round-house kick at his head, and a third pointed a hand gun at him. He shot two of his attackers in self-defense. Rittenhouse is not the bad guy here; the blood thirsty rioters are.

What's the matter, George, did someone have an opinion that disagreed with yours.

To quote the Green Bay Packers who don't matter either.
The Bears Still Suck.
Bye guys. Call me when you want to just play football.
Until then you can go down to your local middle school field and show me how I'm a racist pig.

I am a 50 year + Packers fan and hated the Bears. That stipulated, they had real men on their teams, especially Ditka, Singletary, Butkus, and Uhrlacher. The McCaskeys just inherited the team from George Halas, getting quite wealthy, and now appear to be sucking on that wealth teat, playing woke games.

Dear George McCaskey:
Brain Urlacher is no longer under the control of bear scat like you. My advice to Urlacher is that he refuss to take your call and kicks all bear scat out of his life.

Has the chairman talked to Mike Ditka too? Wouldn’t be able to shame him into backing off his remarks for certain.
That appears to be what he’s trying to do by showing all of that brotherly camaraderie and “love” to Urlacher.
Shameful of him. Urlacher owes no one an explanation for his opinions about current events. McCaskey obviously has his own very strong opinions. How many phone calls has he accepted about changing his opinions?

Just ordered an Urlacher T-shirt. Jerseys were too expensive.

Brian retired from the NFL, what he says or tweets is his business, not McCaskey's, the Bears or the NFL.
