So Republicans always have to find a way to blame Democrats for anything, even football.

Spotted on X

"Chicago Bears managed to stay in Chicago despite the 1929 Great Depression, WWII, and the 2008 financial crisis, but they couldn't survive two incompetent Democratic leaders in Illinois and now they are moving next door to the Republican run red state of Indiana!"

The Chicago Bears have been shaking down the taxpayers of Illinois for a new stadium, blackmailing them with the threat of moving to Hammond, Indiana. The state of Indiana has offered to build the stadium for them at no cost. But oh no; it's got to be the Democrats fault. If the state of Illinois did give the Bears what they wanted, the same Republicans would be lecturing us about wasting taxpayer money!

I say good for Governor JB Pritzker for not caving to greedy billionaire sports owners! Go to Indiana and build your stadium on a toxic dump! I just might have find a new NFL team to root for!

Taxpayers paying for sports venues is classic Republican grift.

"Let's see. The Great Depression and 2008 Financial Crisis were caused by Republicans and if Republicans had been in power in 1940-1941, they would still be signing Deutschland über alles" all of Europe!
