Fans Made The Same Request To Simone Biles After Latest Social Media Post

USA gymnast Simone Biles had a standout performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She received four total Olympic medals, earning gold in the team, all-around, and vault finals and silver in the floor exercise final.
The 27-year-old from Spring, Texas bounced back in a big way from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she had to withdraw due to a phenomenon she called the "twisties," which is a brief moment of losing spatial awareness during twisting movements.
Upon her return from France, Biles made her way to the Chicago Bears preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday to support her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens.
In her most recent Instagram post, Biles highlighted the game with a few photos of herself at Soldier Field. She captioned the post "bear down" with a speaking head emoji.
In her photos, Biles notably sported a jacket with many different images of Owens on it. However, the coat was littered with pictures of her husband on his former team, the Green Bay Packers, who also happens to be one of Chicago's biggest rivals.
Although the post was meant to be harmless, the gymnast's choice of clothing in her photos had some Chicago fans making the same request: Get her some Bears' gear.
"Time to get a Bears version of that jacket now," said one fan.
"Can you please make her a Bears jacket?" asked another.
"Chicago Bears, please hook the queen up w a new jacket!!!!" commented a third.
"Time to get a Bears version of that jacket now."
"Where do we send the Bears gear to?" another fan asked.
Owens played with the Packers for just one season in 2023 before signing with the Bears over the offseason. He started in 11 of his 17 games last year, recording 84 tackles, a sack, three pass deflections and a defensive touchdown.
Biles led the USA, which also included Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles, to a victory in the team final in Paris, scoring 58.332 of her team's 171.296 points. In the all-around and floor finals, Biles secured scores of 59.131 and 15.300, respectively. Both scores were good enough for first place.
The gymnastics star now has a total Olympic medal count of 11, seven of which are gold. She will undoubtedly go down as one of the best USA athletes of all time, regardless of her NFL clothing of choice.
