"Yes, the state of Indiana and the Bears have made progress on a potential new home for the team in Hammond. That is undeniable. However, it is far from the done deal some people made it out to be because they didn't read or comprehend (possibly both) the statement that was put out by the team. The team fell well short offering up a firm committment."
"These latest updates are giving me flashbacks to the 2024 offseason when I felt like I was yelling into the abyss while trying to warn Bears fans about the importance of understanding who is selling the news, how they are framing it, why they are doing it, and what they were getting out of it with regards to the Justin Fields-Caleb Williams situation."
Fake Spring in Chicago is over, and the Cubs and White Sox play today. The state of Indiana and the Bears have made progress on a potential Hammond stadium, but no firm commitment was offered and the deal remains far from certain. Some outlets framed developments as more definitive than the team's statement supported. The situation evokes comparisons to the 2024 offseason’s misinformation around Justin Fields and Caleb Williams, including people buying blue checkmarks and spreading false claims for profit. The coverage can seem exploitative and disrespectful toward fans, implying they can be easily deceived.
