I’m not a Chicago Bears fan, so this is my perspective from the outside looking in. I’m a true crime enthusiast, so when I come across the Chicago Bears out in the wild in the courtroom, I take pause.
Here are five reasons why being a Chicago Bear fan is hard:
#1 – Taylor Schabusiness Is A Fan
When someone idolizes Jeffrey Dahmer, or at least his butt, and is a fan of your team, that’s hard. And when that person is facing criminal charges for taking someone’s life and doing some other unspeakable atrocities, and they’re a fan of your team, that’s harder.
In the second phase of Taylor’s trial, her father testified in her defense. Arturo Coronado, who is also incarcerated for some unspeakable things, was seen telling Taylor he loved her and saying “Go Bears” when he was led out of the courtroom at the end of his testimony.
Taylor responded, “Go Bears,” and smiled at her father. The publicity is literally nothing any team would want.
After testifying in his daughter’s insanity defense, Arturo Coronado told Taylor Schabusiness that he loved her and “Go Bears!"

Schabusiness responded back, “Go Bears!” and smiled. The convicted killer cut up her lover's body.

#2 – Jordan Love Thinks You’re His Daddy
And Aaron Rodgers thinks he owns you. What a confusing family tree.

#3 – You Might Not Make It Out Of Your Stadium Alive
If you attend a game at Soldier Field, watch out for falling bodies. If you’re a confused fan wearing Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and Philadelphia Eagles sports clothing all at once, do not pick a fight with a Chicago Bears fan.
You may find yourself being put in a headlock, choke-slammed, and falling down the stairs. Or being knocked over like a bowling pin by someone who was.
#4 – Your Fellow Fans Struggle With Simple Tasks
Like putting on a poncho.
You could also be the fans in the seats next to them that are capturing and ignoring the flailing individual who is actively being bested by a poncho. No one blames you for that, but it’s still hard.
#5 – Your Team’s Players Traffic Coke And Get Caught
Good old Sam Hurd. Not only did he traffic the “nose candy,” he also got caught by the Feds pretending to also be involved with the white stuff. While he was still on the Bears roster.
Now he’s off the prison roster as of 2023, and hopefully a little bit wiser this go-around.
