Even though Simone Biles is a well-liked Olympic champion, NFL fans believe she is still subject to rivalries inside the league, mocking the Olympian for showing up to a Bears game wearing a Packers jacket.
Here’s how it works… This offseason, Biles’ spouse Jonathan Owens moved from the Green Bay Packers to the Chicago Bears, two clubs embroiled in one of the sport’s oldest rivalries.
With all due respect, Simone Biles gotta throw that jacket in the trash ASAP.

Simone appears to have purchased a bespoke black and white jacket with action photos of Owens against the Packers at some time last year, during the one season that JO played for the Green Bay Packers, with the recognizable “G” insignia emblazoned on her shoulders.
Fans online aren’t thrilled with Biles’ decision to wear the jacket to the Bears’ preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. It’s obvious that Biles was only trying to show her spouse how much she loves him.

NFL fans are pressuring Simone to part up the jacket as soon as possible, claiming the rivalry is far more intense than she is aware of.
A week before Jonathan signed with Green Bay, Simone and Jonathan got married last year. Simone was also seen supporting her boyfriend at several games that year. In return, he negotiated his contract with the Bears this summer in order to watch Biles compete in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where she took home three gold and one silver medal.
