Vic Fangio Leaving the Chicago Bears?!?

Uh oh, is that some new code for Fangio fetting rods inserted?

Despite being a former Southsider I've never not been a Cubs fan as well as a Sox fan.  Both are my hometown teams.  But simply being a fan doesn't entail undying support for a very poorly run organization as the Cubs were for many years and as the Bears have been as well.  Or at least around my house it doesn't.

If we want change then the fans need to speak with a singular voice and do it it with their wallets and their feet.  Ten or twelve thousand no-shows every game might get someones attention.  Teddy Bears sponsors may buy up tickets but it takes actual butts in seat to pay for parking, concessions, and souvenirs.  And when the official "dog and pony show" parties they organize start looking like a Latinos for Trump rally maybe they'll begin to get the point.

They can be just as stupid and selfish as they want about not selling the team and running it as they like but I have a choice not to support that and I'm a very short step away from executing it. I've had enough of their hollow and/or broken promises to last me for quite awhile.

Everyone is different when it comes to being sports fans.  And that is okay.  Personally, I like following the Bears, even though they make me crazy angry at times, and pretty darned sad other times.  But I do try to calm down and remind myself this is a game.  It's not solving world hunger or curing cancer.  It's a game.  

Prior to 1985 we had a long stretch of bad Bears play too.  People revere Papa Bear, and rightfully so, but he ALSO had a long stretch there where the team was epic bad.  You couldn't blame the McCaskey's back then, because the team was owned by Halas and he had 100% full control over everything.  LOL, I remember those years because I was a fan back then too.  

But then in the mid-80s we had some good teams.  The 1985 team was very special, obviously.  I think what made 1985 all the more special, was that we fans had suffered decades of painful seasons prior to that moment in Bears history.  Really, until that time, the Bears had sunk to being a joke in the NFL (other than their leather helmet days of championships prior to the Super Bowl era).

I am going to stick it out.  And I am not going to let a "game" ruin my happiness.  I will enjoy any good times, and survive the bad times.  But I will always be a Bears fan.  LOL, that means I'm not very bright :-)
