Atlanta Falcons linebacker Kendal Daniels went down motionless on the field Sunday, and what happened next from the Chicago Bears faithful at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a shocking low for fan behavior. While medical staff worked on Daniels, a loud chant of “Green Bay Sucks!” rained down from the crowd, a move that left even the Bears’ own players urging them to stop.
A Terrifying Moment, A Tone-Deaf Chant
This was a terrifying incident, folks. Falcons linebacker Kendal Daniels was completely motionless on the field, a sight that no one ever wants to see in any sport. The medical staff had to treat him right there, eventually taking him off the field on a stretcher. During that entire awful, tense moment, with Daniels’ health hanging in the balance, a good portion of the Chicago Bears fans decided it was the perfect time to let loose with their “Green Bay Sucks!” chant. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
Even Their Own Players Knew It Was Wrong
You’d think common sense would kick in, right? You’d think seeing a guy motionless, then getting loaded onto a stretcher, would make fans pause. But nope. What makes it even wilder is that Chicago Bears players on the field were actively trying to get their own fans to cut it out. They were urging them to stop the chant while Daniels was still down. Other players looked absolutely devastated, almost on the verge of tears, watching the situation unfold. It’s a low point when even your own team is telling you to cool it. Bears fans have made a habit of bringing that chant with them everywhere, but maybe it’s time to retire it, especially when the Packers weren’t even involved in today’s game. This comes just a week after Green Bay took the Bears to the tool shed with a 31-7 beatdown, adding a weird layer to the whole situation. Even Bears fans themselves on social media were ripping into their own fanbase, calling out the “absolute losers chanting that during a serious injury” and questioning their “integrity.”
Right now, there’s no update on Kendal Daniels’ condition, and that’s the real story everyone should be focused on. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any news on his status.
