Spoilers ahead
To be a sports fan in Chicago often meant grappling with frustration and disappointment. The Cubs, White Sox, and Black Hawks were rarely significant contenders by the end of their seasons. Before 1985, the Chicago Bears hadn’t clinched a championship title since 1963, with most of their seasons proving to be largely irrelevant. This prevailing discontent led some frustrated Bear fans to engage in outrageous expressions of their displeasure, including hurling beer at players as they exited the stadium, and even burning a hole in the tarp put up to shield them from such indignities.
