Yeah, that’s what you wanna do: sound desperate as hell to get another team so some billionaire owner can come in here and fuck the city over for more taxpayer dollars. These assholes don’t need public money and if the market is there for another team let them come up with their own plan. I mean, who really gives a flying fuck if both teams are in the burbs, everyones still gonna go to the city to party.

If anyone believes that if the Bears move to Arlington Heights and won’t still be called the Chicago Bears they’re as stupid as the OP.

Bitch should just concentrate on doing what she does best, letting criminals out on the street.

They can call themselves the Boston Bears or Atlanta Bears if they want to.

There are "New York Pizza" places and "California Kitchens" and "Chicago Dog" places all over. And, of course, multiple examples in the NFL as pointed out repeatedly.

She's a nut job. She's desperate because there is no real, valid reason for the Bears to remain in the city of Chicago.

Maybe the city should have not taken them for granted for half a century.
The Bears have a trademark on "Chicago Bears" they can call themselves whatever they want regardless of what Lightfoot says!

Lightfoot has made herself look ridiculous throughout this whole process. When she actually had a chance to keep the Bears in Chicago before they explored other options, she acted like a bully...as if she had all the leverage. This is all on her hands. She couldn't have failed more miserably.

I cannot wait until the Bears move to Arlington Heights and have actual control over their own stadium.

Lightfoot has recently been polling in 4th for mayor's election next month. This is a desperate attempt at getting any kind of vote.
I'm a Democrat and Lightfoot is an absolute clown. Totally out of touch. Hopefully she's voted out. Probably a sure thing because nobody likes her.

If they are going to tax fuck Chicago for Jaguars Khan should have to give 49% of majority stake to the citizens of Chicago and the Chicago Wind can be like their northern rival at least as far as practical.

In order to add another NFL team, all the existing NFL owners must approve!
Won't happen since the Bears wouldn't approve.

CCS was proposing calling them the Arlington Heights Bears first. I still defer to the New York Giants/Jets playing in New Jersey principle, but yes Lightfoot is just being a desperate fool on this one.
