NFL Analyst Blasted by Fans After Retracting ‘Fake News’ Report on Chicago Bears’ Name Change
NFL analyst Ben Devine faced widespread backlash after admitting he was “duped” into falsely reporting that the Chicago Bears would change their name to the ‘Indiana Bears’ if they relocated. Devine issued a retraction and apology, sparking mockery from fans across X. Despite the false report, the Bears are actively exploring new stadium sites in Indiana as their Soldier Field lease expires in 2033, though Chairman George H. McCaskey has confirmed there will be no name change.
