Bears are worth $6B.
McCaskey's aren't worried about family wealth.
McCaskey's aren't worried about family wealth.
The problem with the Bears’ ownership is that it’s all they have for their family fortune. They are, obviously, the original owners, they are not business people. Most NFL owners made their fortunes in some other endeavor and bought into the NFL. The McCaskey’s are a family who only know income from the Bears. They have the Luxury of being the only franchise in a city full of die-hard fans who are still on a waiting list for season tickets.
The McCaskey’s look at every player, coach and staff contract as cutting into their bottom line. They could fill the roster and coaching staff with a high school team and they know people will still show up. ****, they still let the park district manage the playing field instead of hiring a professional.
