CHICAGO, IL – In a stunning move, the entire Chicago Bears roster has announced that they are quitting the team, effective immediately. The decision comes after a heated team meeting in which players expressed their outrage over a controversial decision made by team owner, Virginia Halas McCaskey.
According to sources, McCaskey announced plans to replace the team’s iconic navy blue and orange uniforms with a new, neon green and pink color scheme. The decision was reportedly made without consulting the players or coaching staff, and was intended to “appeal to a younger demographic” and “increase merchandise sales.”
Players were reportedly livid over the decision, with many taking to social media to express their disgust. “I’ve given my heart and soul to this team, and this is how they repay me?” tweeted star quarterback, Justin Fields. “I’m out.”
The team’s coaching staff, including head coach Matt Eberflus, has also resigned in solidarity with the players. “We stand with our players and support their decision,” said Eberflus in a statement. “We cannot continue to work for an organization that so blatantly disregards the values and traditions of this team.”
The NFL has released a statement saying that they are “monitoring the situation” and will “work with the team to find a resolution.” However, it remains to be seen whether the Bears will be able to recover from this shocking turn of events.
