One undeniable lesson we’ve learned from sporting events in the age of cell phone cameras is that fans seem to have a penchant for altercations.
At Soldier Field, Chicago Bears fans gathered for another disheartening affair. Justin Fields struggled to ignite the offense in the first half and exited the game with a gruesome injury.
As the crowd consulted their programs to identify the backup quarterback, Tyson Bagent, their collective groans resounded when he was swiftly strip-sacked, sealing the Minnesota Vikings’ 19th point—a seemingly insurmountable lead. In the end, the home team fell short with a 19-13 loss.
It’s a tough situation for a fanbase that undoubtedly deserves better. The issues are manifold and grave, potentially extending beyond the quick remedy of Caleb Williams, especially if NFL defenses prove as formidable as the one Notre Dame fielded in South Bend on Saturday night. One can’t help but admire the loyal spectators who continue to attend and support their team, but it also raises the question of how many are willing to endure such disappointments.
