If Chicago liberals wanted to prove how quickly they could ruin a great American city, they’re about to reach the end zone. The legendary Chicago Bears—one of the oldest, proudest franchises in sports—are actually considering fleeing their home of more than a century. And no one can blame them. Under the so-called “leadership” of Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker, Chicago and Illinois have become a punchline: high taxes, suffocating crime, and a tidal wave of regulations that crush business owners and average citizens alike.
Picture this: Indiana—a neighboring state run by adults instead of radicals—has already started clearing a path for the Bears to build a sparkling new stadium outside the Illinois border. Rather than fight to keep a historic team at home, Chicago’s liberal leaders have done nothing but dither and deflect. The Bears aren’t just a team; they’re a tradition. But after more than 100 years, even they’ve had enough of Democrat incompetence.
Of course, Democrats will offer empty words and empty promises. The mayor claims he has “evidence” to keep the Bears in town—whatever that means—while families and businesses keep packing up and heading out. Ask anyone leaving Illinois why they’re running for the exits and you’ll hear it straight: sky-high taxes, unsafe streets, and far-left policies that punish those who work hardest. People aren’t just voting with their mouths—they’re voting with their feet.
This exodus isn’t a fluke; it’s the direct result of one-party Democratic rule stretching back to 1931. That’s nearly a century of liberal groupthink, cozying up to unions and special interests, and treating taxpayers like an endless piggy bank. Now, the same geniuses who can’t control crime or manage basic services are on the verge of blowing one of the few things keeping Chicago on the national map.
If the Bears actually pack up and leave because of anti-business, anti-family Democrat policies, who does that really serve? It certainly doesn’t help the people of Chicago, or the memory of all those legendary games played in the Windy City. At this point, you have to ask: how much more of this clown show will residents tolerate before they follow the Bears right out of state?
