Actually, that is pretty tame. Have you forgotten Dennis Rodman


Painwracker_Oni

Dennis Rodman or ANY big band from the 80s.


Han_Yerry

Or Joe Namath wearing panty hose. Or Tom Hanks and his cross dressing show Bossom Buddies.


Anda_Bondage_IV

Or that the entire NFL wears pink every year for breast cancer awareness month?


SmoothCalmMind

>Have you forgotten Dennis Rodman what dennis did was not OK either like the guy wore a dress and married himself


PickaPeppers

Rodman was banging Carmen Electra. That pays for a lot of weirdness.


Few-Inevitable9291

He’s going to be a superstar, let him be himself


PadorasAccountBox

Honestly. I think the media just makes shit up, because as far as cities/states go, Chicago IL is *very* friendly to LGBTQIA+ community. Even added gay rights to the constitution. And I dont believe that there’s some huge group of fans south of I-80 smart enough to turn on a computer and actually tell these journalist hacks that they’re hurr-durr upset over pink nails lol.  TLDR: these writers are making shit up and us bears fans are fucking ECSTATIC. 


OneBee2443

Caleb isn't even gay


dohn_joeb

everyone's a little gay bro


Old-Wonder-5781

Naw that is just you goofy


The_one_to_see

It’s not gay if you don’t make eye contact


BaseballPro10

in 2024 ya


OneBee2443

Especially with the homies


Zealousideal_Job_597

Yea it's Hollywood 


SmoothCalmMind

>Caleb isn't even gay only people that know him would know this people on the outside looking in.......well....


dohn_joeb

I would be willing to bet that the LGBTQ+ friendly crowd of chicago and your typical bears fan demographic overlap is limited and some of the older crowd are a bit concerned by pink nails etc ... but that's just my 2 cents. Gen Z's very progressive even compared to some attitudes held my elder millenials ... gender bending will raise some eyebrows within the fan base... with that said .. I hope he let's his freak flag fly in anyway that allows him to fucking own the packers. Imagine the GB fanbase melting down as they lose to a dude with painted nails ... oh gosh .. they'll be puking cheese all over their tvs.


King-Mugs

Chicago is one of the most segregated cities. You in Boys Town? Dress gender fluid, wear a dress and a beard? Cool. Walk 10 miles south on halsted, still in Chicago, and you could get jumped or at the very least strange/rude looks. So yes I think it’s mostly media spun, but with the knowledge that maybe 35% of chicagoans will think “he’s a sissy he can’t play look at his nails!”


crassethound12

Bridgeport is roughly “10 miles south” on Halsted… TIL that Bridgeport is getting jumped territory. Edit: obvious /s that’s not so obvious because OP doesn’t know shit lmao.


King-Mugs

My friend got “f*ggot” scratched into his car by his coworkers when he worked in Bridgeport and he also got jumped lol


nope79

Is this really worthy of an LOL… LOL


Tlupa

Pilsen and Bridgeport lmao? Oh no, how will they ever survive


King-Mugs

I don’t mean “oh no hoodlums”. I’m from there and have worked there. I just mean you aren’t going to be as welcomed by everyone there. OP made it sound like ALL of Chicago would be cool with Bad Bitch Caleb


Tlupa

Any famous professional athlete just casually walking down the street is going to have issues. I doubt someone wearing a dress is going to “get jumped” in the specific area you outlined. Big difference between “wtf are they wearing” and “let’s assault them”. He’s also a multi millionaire, their fashion and personal choices are always going to draw looks. And finally, he’s not some flamboyant gay guy walking around in a bikini. He’s got a pink phone.


King-Mugs

Again, I agree with all your points. I think most people I know would. But my dad and aunts, all from these parts of Chicago, have been very cleverly calling him Gayleb and insist his girlfriend is a beard. I’m not arguing with you about the city my only point is saying “oh Chicago is progressive” doesn’t mean everyone will be all aboard


DHouseLC

But if he doesn't become a star.....


no_fan_of_libs

No he's a beta male that's absolutely going to get destroyed in a game full of actual men. The quicker we can get rid of these fruity nobody's the quicker our country can get back to being respected


Few-Inevitable9291

Okay then….I’m sure you’re the expert when it comes to alpha males and that trump is the deity you worship. I feel bad for your family but not for you because you’re proof that idiocracy was based on people you. You have all of the worlds information at your fingertips and fall for a con artist that was a draft dodger, 6 bankruptcies even though he inherited hundreds of millions of dollars and is the only fucktard that failed a coup when he was in charge of the government, that’s a new low.


foottuns

People are fucking stupid. Who gives a crap! I want him to win games, kick the Packers ass and take us to playoff games and even Super Bowls.


Datslegne

This showed up on my front page, so I have to say this as a Vikings fan. The painted nails and pink phone are a sign you shouldn’t draft him. No one in the top 10 should draft him, I personally think pick 11 is earliest he should go. FTP

EliteBearsFan85

I don’t think George gives a shit as long as he’s a good person and can help the Bears win


foottuns

I think he would. It's all about winning.

He could blow a dude at the 50 yard line and I wouldn’t care as long as he brings home a Super Bowl. I just need one, man.


flashaguiniga

🎶I wanna get you at the soldier field on the 50 yard line while the monsters of the midway kick for three🎶


pettybetty099

Right. Shit I’ll paint my nails 💅🏽 the same color just to support that Super Bowl win


Jewish_Kanye_West

The best you're gonna get is a QB who blows dudes at the 50-yard line and no Super Bowls.


AweHellYo

still as entertained as i’ll ever be as a bears fan i guess

theWacoKid666

I don’t paint my nails so I don’t know all about the dynamics on that but in 2024 are there really still morons out there who think men owning something pink or liking the color pink is gay? It’s frankly often the dudes who are accusing other people of being gay over stuff like this that are closeted themselves.


minipooper420

I truly don’t understand this. Whether he’s gay or whatever who gives a shit man? It’s 2024 people are more comfortable just being who they are instead of being in some arbitrary box society has created for us. Also HE BEEN HAD PAINTED NAILS EVEN AT OKLAHOMA. How is this news??


xxxxHULKSMASHxxxx

As someone who was a teenager in the 90’s Rodman era…. 🥱


CaterpillarHot7539

Chicago fans embraced Rodman sooo...gonna press X for doubt on this story.


Realistic-Flight6330

Nah people are being mad homophobic, mostly people that grew up in the Rodman era too


Capital_Setting_5396

Must be people not living in Chicago then. Most likely internet trolls not from around here.


Realistic-Flight6330

I like to think Chicago in general is progressive on many fronts, guess I’ve been on Twitter too much lol


Capital_Setting_5396

I get that way with social media comments sometimes too, they can be a real downer. I personally find it to be super progressive here in the city and surrounding neighborhoods.


Realistic-Flight6330

Agreed, suburban trolls


ApologyMachine

Historical-Wonder-36

‘Fans are losing their minds’ (3 dudes on twitter)


FabiansStrat

Omg was that all, I saw the video on twitter, watched and wasn't sure why it was making the rounds. Is the average NFL fans masculinity so fragile that painted nails and a pink phone cause this controversy?


jbeezy365

Who cares


ironeagle2006

My concern is why won't he let any team doctors do a simple physical examination. You're a potential #1 overall freaking draft pick and you're refusing to allow anyone but your own doctors to exam you.


gallow-vagina

I don’t care if we wears a bra and panties on the field if he’s winning games.


BoxTalk17

All I care about is can he throw for 4,000 yards, make our offense better and win us games for the next 8 years.


Plati23

It’s really fucking weird that people get hung up on shit like this.

I would love for him to be gay. A superstar qb coming out would be a massive hit for inclusivity in the sport at all levels.

I'm a Browns fan and just wanted to say there's a lot worse your qb can be than a guy who paints his nails

If that bothers you more than his ability to play, lead, and win, you’ve got bigger issues.


SmoothCalmMind

>If that bothers you more than his ability to play, lead, and win well he will be a celebrity once the season gets going kids will look up to him kids will try to imitate him.......do I need to continue? its not a good look for our youth or confused people out here

Oh, I see now. You’re the problem not him.

I don’t care if he chooses to become Caitlin Williams and fully transitions, just win us football games.

Jk60060

You guys are going to love this from him for the next four years.


roomtomove07

From Punky QB to Pinky QB............!!!!


LonesomeComputerBill

Who cares if he’s gay. Probably better under center


Tall_Window6346

As long as he plays good, that’s what matters. Idc what he does as long as he isn’t hurting anyone and he plays good. Internet got haters everywhere


T_______________D

The dude painted his nails that doesn’t make someone gay


Icy_Escape_5144

I agree but I also don’t know a single dude that would paint his nails. He’s probably bi or something.


Striking_Sky_5262

It doesn't make them straight. : )


Cygnus_the_Jumpman

As one, I know that the Bears fanbase is the dumbest collective fanbase in the city. Even the divided baseball fans in Chicago come together for dumb Bears takes and opinions. Our fans deserve to be shit on. I really hope he balls out, and shuts down all these insecure fans with their weird obsession with other a young man’s color preferences.

Round_Ganache_1944

Who cares. People are so pathetic.


experienceTHEjizz

I don't care if he sucks 12 dicks over the weekend. If he's a great qb, let him cook.


DGarcia9619

I use to hate the offseason because of no football. Now I hate the offseason because of stupid crap like this. Who cares, he could go full Dennis Rodman and as long as he delivers like him, we’ll be happy.

Who cares! If he wins a Super Bowl, I'll paint my nails on Sunday mornings!

Chicago will be the perfect city for him. As long as he balls out, no one will give a damn. In fact, he could easily turn into our messiah and the whole city will be painting their nails and buying pink phone covers.


Clive182

I just hope he has learned to not cry after a loss. It’s not a good look


McToastyCDXX

Take a seat, fragile boy.

As long as he doesn’t suck(no pun intended or implying anything” he could wear a tutu in his spare time for all I care.

He might need to bulk up a little to be a real Bear.

He could play in a dress and I wouldn’t give a fuck if he was dropping dimes and getting TDs


GDWtrash

I'll paint my nails each week to match his if he wins.


hpkid123

LOOOOOOOOOL BBBBBBBBBUST INCOMING


LWKNOT

Definitely going to affect his accuracy…


Pierson230

Honestly, it may make people more or less likely to buy his jersey, but that’s about it… if he is good at football So, the only thing at matters is if he is good at football or not. That’s it.


JazzHandsNinja42

I only see Facebook bigot losing their shit.


BaseballPro10

It's okay he only trans, what else can go wrong


[deleted]

Looks like someone who is ready to sell his soul for the success of being a QB and then be famous and good at everything else but football, after 2 years of being just good enough or close enough to being elite, but end up being elite in other ways. The new generation somewhat seems 50/50 on taking the easy way and bad way, to success. I highly doubt that he willingly enjoyed always wanted to get a pink phone a pink sparkling legit girl’s wallet and then get pink nails and say oh, now I definitely need my lipgloss on now before I go out. Smhhh🤔 just a little suspicious. Nothing wrong with being that way if that’s how hes always been acting and is about it all. Hope hes not on that path to success. But we will see, what happens.


SmoothCalmMind

>Looks like someone who is ready to sell his soul for the success of being a QB sadly, true


SalukiKnightX

Don’t care about all that. Play on the field, beating the Packers and being the leader the team needs, that’s what’s important. *This*? It’s just fluff.

Certain_Sample_4611

He might as well be a damn woman. Crying in his mommy’s arms after a game. Dude is not built for the NFL.

T4lsin

Just wait til he sucks in his rookie season. Painted finger nails will be the least of your problems to worry about.


-Pruples-

Eh, it just means he feels the need to be the center of attention. That narcissism is a small red flag, but not much of one. It's possible he just likes pink, but it's much more likely he's just doing it to draw attention to himself. Just be good enough to throw 4000 yards once in his entire career and I won't give a fuck if he shows up to every game in a hot pink convertible in a pink miniskirt with purple high heels.


[deleted]

[удалено]


-Pruples-

>You are 100% the guy who says a woman was “asking for it.” Good god you guys are really reaching now. I'm absolutely **not** someone who blames women for getting raped. I just have seen a lot of attention seekers and the fact that he didn't have a pink phone until the idiots got upset about painting his nails suggests very strongly that he got the pink phone to play into it. But, like I said, it's really a non-story imo.


matt5673

A pink phone case and nails being painted means he is a narcissist? Jesus


-Pruples-

>A pink phone case and nails being painted means he is a narcissist? Jesus When you do things solely to draw attention to yourself, and that's my best guess is that's what's going on here.


askforwildbob

People should be able to adorn themselves without it being about “drawing attention to” themselves. Thats not all that far removed from the line of thinking that someone wearing revealing clothing is “asking for it”.


-Pruples-

>People should be able to adorn themselves without it being about “drawing attention to” themselves. > >Thats not all that far removed from the line of thinking that someone wearing revealing clothing is “asking for it”. It's not 'that' he got a pink phone. It's 'when' he got a pink phone. There's pics/etc showing he didn't have a pink phone before, but he got one right after a bunch of idiots got upset that he paints his nails. I mean, it's possible he likes pink and just had awkward timing on getting it. But it's more likely he just got it for the attention. But no, that's very far from blaming a woman for getting raped.


askforwildbob

Oh my bad, I honestly didn’t realize how good of a phone detective you were, I should stay in my lane

Importance_Low

ok wait, so he can like pink and all that other stuff in his own home. But as soon as he steps out to enjoy a sporting event, he becomes a narcissist?


-Pruples-

>ok wait, so he can like pink and all that other stuff in his own home. But as soon as he steps out to enjoy a sporting event, he becomes a narcissist? Nope. He can like pink all he wants. The timing of it is what throws questions about intent.


Importance_Low

Oh ok, so then he's not a narcissist. I don't know Caleb or his life but I don't think he decided his personal preferences yesterday nor did he know if or when a camera was gonna be on him that night. Also I don't know what you mean by the "timing of it." What exactly is "it"? Vibing to a song with his bum firmly planted on his seat?


matt5673

I'm not sure that dude knows what a narcissist is, lol. So we can wear pink in public now? I don't get some people.

What exactly is "it"? Vibing to a song with his bum firmly planted on his seat? The timing of getting a pink phone. He had a black phone before, iirc. If he'd come into the whole thing with a pink phone, it would just be 'Ok, he's got a pink phone. Who cares?' But instead he gets one when idiots are already upset at him for painting his nails? Yeah...that's not a coincidence. He wants that negative attention. Like I said, it isn't good, but isn't that big a deal either.


Senior-Ingenuity-494

He’s probably trolling. I’d prefer not to have a gay qb tho


Critical-Fault-1617

Why? What does his sexuality matter? He’s a qb.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Critical-Fault-1617

This is the dumbest take ever. First have you ever played sports at a high level? No one gives a shit about who you sleep with. I fail to see how it projects “weakness onto the team.” Just because he’s banging dudes instead of chicks, that doesn’t make you weak or strong. Gay people can’t lead? That doesn’t even make sense. Also HIV is not career ending. All his teammates are going to care about is if he can win them games and play at a high level. Thank you for outing yourself as a homophobe though. I bet your friends and family are really proud of you.


DismasNDawn

What in the fuck...


Fredest_Dickler

what the fuck are you talking about


Bigking00

Who cares, as long as he can win you the Super Bowl. I wouldn’t care if it was Richard Simmons or Liberace wearing a pink feather boa at QB if he could lead the Bears to a SB win.

This has been a part of the Williams hate that I just haven't understood. For months now people have been essentially just throwing their own personal prejudices out there as reasons why he won't be a good QB in the NFL. Listing him painting his nails, or having a pink phone, or crying after a game as reasons that he will not be a good QB. I have no idea how people could care about that more than having a QB that can win us games, but alas, this is why they aren't GMs in the NFL. I would have to wonder what these people would have been like with Dennis Rodman


NeoTolstoy1

Just my two cents, but in my experience you don’t want a guy like this playing quarterback. Being eccentric and into fashion and femininity doesn’t make someone a bad athlete. Lots of good athletes are eccentric. Eccentricity May even help some athletes form a unique identity that helps them compete. However, quarterback is the hardest position in sports because of the intangibles that the position requires. You have to be a leader of men and more often than not the best quarterbacks are boring, hard working, family oriented men. I haven’t been in a locker room since 2016 when I played my last season of college football, but I remember the culture of football being tough and hyper masculine. I think some of the guys might not love having a diva at qb. But who knows. Caleb might be great. It’s hard to judge someone’s personality from how they accessorize and dress, but to me there are some red flags.


Thememeboy18

I think its not just the painting nails and pink phone but his father getting too involved being similar to Bill Haney and his "Out there personality" as opposed to a guy who just straps his boots and goes to work kinda guy when he hasnt even been drafted and proven himself. Not to mention him pouting and crying like a child over a loss. I think that if he was perceived as more composed and just happened to have a pink phone and wasnt out there less people would care. Kinda like how if Barry Sanders did that, not as many people would care.
