ASHKUM BEAR Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 RIP! Virginia watched her father's dream grow to the mogul it is for over a century. She might have had reservations on how she wanted the family business ran, but she held her ground to keep it first class on those beliefs. That may have meant sacrificing the ability to compete with the best, but the Bears have stuck to this especially the later years. As fans, we may not have liked it. Of course, we just want to win and the Jim McMahons on the team brought some malicious joy. I am seeing "now they can sell the team" on social media, but a part of me wants to see the Halas blood remain at least in some form, prefer a minor share. This is the original founding team with deep history and I would still like to see part of that remain. What other owner like George parks on the Waldron deck by himself on game day and walks in the same way as the fans do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Sad day. What an incredible life she had. Through it all she was always a class act and treated people with respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChileBear Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Sad, but not unexpected. BTW, didn't Papa George hire Ditka just before he passed? And Ditka took us to the Super Bowl. Could be karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 What an extraordinary life she had. Of course my thoughts go out to her family and loved ones, as with any passing. That is the private family stuff, because these are real people living actual lives, so all respect to them. Out here, in the sports world, talk will inevitably turn to the effect on the team. I cant pretend that I have liked the McCaskeys as owners. I know it's a matter of "Careful what you wish for" in terms of new ownership. We seem to just now be putting pieces together, and a new owner might want to rip that apart and put his stamp on things. That would be terrible right now. But eventually, with the right owner, things could get even better for our franchise, so I look forward to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
