Bears Announce Name Change Decision After They Relocate To Hammond, Indiana<\/p>\n

When an NFL<\/a> team moves cities, they usually adopt the name of the new city or metro area. With Chicago on the verge of moving to Hammond, Indiana, will they adopt the new city\u2019s name?<\/p>\n

It has been reported that the answer is clearly no.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Indiana Governor Mike Braun stated that while he is pleased to welcome the team to his state. He also stated he does not anticipate that the team will change its name. In his opinion, it would be irresponsible to refer to them as anything other than \u201cthe Chicago Bears\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no (we\u2019re not changing the name). That would be obtuse to think it would be the Hammond Bears. It\u2019s the Chicago Bears,\u201d Braun said bluntly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans immediately reacted<\/a> to the Bears keeping their name:<\/p>\n

Indiana is soft. Just bow down to them. Pay for their staduim and your tax payers pay all that and call them Chicago bears. Like a side chick LOL<\/p>\n

Nobody calls \u2019em the New Jersey Jets or the East Rutherford Giants. Chicago Bears will remain THE Chicago Bears<\/p>\n

Right or wrong, the lesson is that if your government won\u2019t pay for a new stadium, someone else\u2019s will<\/p>\n

This guy has run Indiana into the ground. I don\u2019t even care about his political affiliation at all its just true. Mitch Daniels was a republican and had the state running like a well oiled machine<\/p>\n
