George McCaskey Pens A Handwritten Letter To A Bears Fan Encouraging Him To Switch His Allegiance To The Chargers

"Dear Mr. Gould,

Thank you for your letter of Dec 10th. 

We are disappointed to learn that you are ending your lifelong allegiance to the Chicago Bears. However, you've made an excellent choice in deciding to root for the Chargers. They have an exciting and talented quarterback and a bright future.

Perhaps in time we will give you or your children reason to return to the navy-and-orange. In the meantime, Bolt Up!

George McCaskey"

I would be SO pissed if I were George McCaskey seeing this around the internet. I picture him sitting at home, watching the mailbox, and trying to intercept report cards and forge his mom's signature before she catches wind that he's fucking up...again. I am operating under the assumption that this is indeed real. It looks real enough to me from the handwriting that makes it look like George holds his pen with a fist to the stationary to the words themselves and that is the part that is troubling. 

George went out last week and said he wasn't a football guy and when a fan writes him saying that he is breaking up with the Bears, he gives the fan a card on Halas Hall stationary that says "Bolt Up!". Bolt Up!?!?! George...come on, man. Care more. Tell him that you're trying as hard as you can. That you understand his frustration. Tell him that you're not sleeping at night. That you're talking to anyone and everyone around the league and trying to seek counsel because what the Bears have been doing isn't good enough. Tell Mr Gould that you know that the Bears have been a half-sunken boat bobbing in Lake Michigan without a rudder or motor. Tell him you'll die to get a quarterback that looks half as promising as Justin Herbert because nobody is a bigger fan than George McCaskey. Tell Mr Gould and every Bears fans across the globe that you were named after the man who invented the NFL and that you will legally change your first name if the Bears don't become a perennial playoff team in the next 5 years. Give us ANYTHING to at least make us think that you know there's a problem and that you care about said problem. 

PS: I will not be commenting further on George McCaskey's handwriting since I never learned how to write in cursive because my family moved school districts between 3rd and 4th grade and when I arrived at the new school and everything was in cursive and everyone else in the class learned cursive in 3rd grade so I went home and cried to my mom that I wasn't going to be able to graduate elementary school so she called the teacher and I was allowed to write all my assignments in print.
