George McCaskey Shuts Down Chicago Bears Sale Rumors: ‘Another 100 Years Would Be Great’
Amid ongoing speculation about the future of the Chicago Bears, team chairman George McCaskey has made one thing crystal clear—his family has no plans to sell the franchise. In a recent interview, McCaskey addressed the persistent rumors, emphasizing the family’s long-term commitment to the team.
“We love this team, we love this city, and another 100 years would be great,” McCaskey stated, reinforcing the Bears’ deep-rooted ties to the McCaskey family. The remarks come at a time when many NFL franchises are changing hands, leading some to question whether the Bears could be next.
The McCaskey family has owned the team since its founding in 1920, with George Halas, the legendary “Papa Bear,” establishing the franchise and helping to shape the NFL. Despite calls from some fans for a change in ownership amid struggles on the field, McCaskey has remained steadfast in his commitment to keeping the team in the family.
While a sale might have generated billions, McCaskey’s statement shuts down any speculation that the team could be put on the market anytime soon. With plans for a new stadium in Arlington Heights and a renewed focus on building a championship-caliber roster, the Bears’ future remains firmly under the McCaskey family’s control.
For Bears fans, McCaskey’s declaration is either a sign of unwavering stability or continued frustration, depending on how they view the team’s direction. One thing is for certain—the Chicago Bears will remain a family affair for the foreseeable future.
