SPORT: The Halas-McCaskey family, worth $7,500,000,000, wants to relocate the Chicago Bears, worth $8,900,000,000, to a contaminated slag site in Hammond, Indiana’s manufacturing district for $1,000,0000,000 in Indiana taxpayer dollars. They do this while owing $500,000,000+ to the city of Chicago for our existing investments to the team, nevermind the century plus of loyalty the city has shown them. While the remaining $500M Soldier Field debt is not exclusively their responsibility, they are why it exists and part of the city’s public investment in their success. If they break their lease early, there is a $90,000,000 penalty. But the replies I’m getting like “The Bears don’t owe the city anything” is a wild take - Shitasses.
