Man, talk about some serious heat on the gram after that Packers-Bears game on Sunday. Wizards star Anthony Davis, rocking full Green Bay gear, found himself in a full-blown comment section war with Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III, and it was pure fire. This wasn’t just some random fan, this was a legitimate beef between two pro athletes.
AD’s Packers Fandom Stirs the Pot with Bears Fans
Okay, so everyone knows Anthony Davis is from Chicago. But for years, he’s been super vocal about his Green Bay Packers fandom, which, let’s be real, absolutely grinds the gears of Chicago fans. They want their hometown hero to rep the city! On Sunday, before the big rivalry matchup, Davis made an Instagram post in full Packers gear. He was throwing down a jersey challenge to internet personality Dyon Brooks, saying he’d wear a Green Bay jersey if Chicago lost, and vice versa. “I know, I know, how can a guy from Chicago be a Packers fan?” Davis even said in the video. You just know that set the stage.
The Game Gets Ugly, The Comments Get Uglier
Things went sideways for the Bears on the field, with the Packers claiming a pretty deflating 31-7 win. And that’s when the comment section exploded. Bears fans were already flooding Davis’s post, calling him out for his loyalty. But then, a *Bears player* stepped in. Luther Burden III hit Davis with a single corn emoji. Davis wasn’t having it, firing back with, “Heard you ain’t wanna play today champ!” That jab was a direct reference to Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin’s post-game comments, where he told reporters Burden “quit today” and “didn’t wanna play no more.” Ouch. Even after the brutal loss, Burden chirped right back, letting Davis know he led the Bears in receiving yards that day, pulling in four catches for 47 yards. He wasn’t done, though. Burden then wrote, “Keep glazing cheese head,” and followed it up with another comment, telling Davis to “take Chicago out [of your] bio.” Talk about personal!
The whole exchange looked like it ended there, with the Packers sitting at 3-2 for the season, tying the Bears and Lions in the NFC North. So for now, it definitely looks like Anthony Davis got the last laugh in this one. Davis, meanwhile, is about to kick off his first official season with the Wizards on October 21 against the Bucks.
