It seems like there’s no end in sight to the turmoil surrounding the Chicago Bears. From a disheartening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to controversial comments made by star player Justin Fields, and an unexpected resignation of defensive coordinator Alan Williams, this week has been nothing short of chaotic. And if that wasn’t enough, the Bears recently fell victim to theft.
According to ABC7 in Chicago, Soldier Field was broken into on Wednesday night. The thieves managed to tear down a security fence and make off with over $100,000 worth of lawnmowers and Gator utility vehicles used by the dedicated grounds crew to maintain the field.
Looking back at history, it’s hard to find a time when a team has faced such a multitude of issues simultaneously. While discontent among players and coaching staff is not unheard of, the combination of two star offensive players expressing their frustration, mishandling the announcement of Williams’ resignation, and the stadium break-in has catapulted the Bears into an entirely different realm of challenges.
The collective negative atmosphere surrounding the team is truly astounding. At this point, it wouldn’t be surprising if further scandals emerge as a result of the equipment theft. It seems as if the Bears have unwittingly stumbled upon a string of misfortunes that no one could have predicted.
