The stereotype of gay people not liking sports is a myth. When leagues and teams choose to stay silent and avoid showcasing their support, it causes a bigger danger to the LGBTQIA+ community and pushes them away since they don't feel seen.

2025 NFL Offseason Priorities: NFC North

The 2024 season gifted the Bears a top-ten draft pick and saw three NFC North teams make the playoffs and go a combined 0-3, leading to an offseason where they must right their wrongs.
