Simone Biles incurred the wrath of NFL fans with her fashion choices Saturday as she watched her Chicago Bears husband, Jonathan Owens, suit up. Fresh off dazzling the crowds in Paris with three gold medals and one silver, the Olympic gymnast caught some NFL preseason action as she cheered on her beau at the Bears’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
However, eagle-eyed NFL fans were left enraged as the 27-year-old committed a football fashion faux pas. Standing on the sidelines at Soldier Field, the Olympic legend was spotted wearing an oversized jacket with photos of her NFL husband printed in black and white.
However, the various snaps featured Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers – the Bears’ longstanding rivals and his former team. To make matters worse, a large Packers logo stood out on the shoulder pad. As she strolled the sidelines, Biles was also sporting a protective boot on her left foot from a calf injury she endured at the Olympics. She topped off the look with a pair of reflective silver shades, a black Prada bucket hat and a Balenciaga purse.
Despite her attempts to make a touching and supportive gesture towards Owens, Biles found herself wading into one of the league’s fiercest rivalries and fans were far from impressed. ‘Simone Biles should be stripped of all her medals after wearing Packers gear while cheering for the Bears,’ one social media user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘Yeah yeah I get it, her husband played for the packers and it’s an Owens themed jacket, but this is just wrong.’ Others echoed the sentiment, questioning Biles’ seemingly oblivious football knowledge.
