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.
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.
‘With all due respect, Simone Biles gotta throw that jacket in the trash ASAP,’ another claimed. ‘How did she get in with that?’
‘She’s obviously supporting her husband Jonathan Owens and she’s one of the greatest Olympians so she gets a pass…but it’s still one of the oldest rivalries in all of football & she’s rocking #GoPackGo logos lol,’ posted The Athletic’s Chase Daniel.
‘Release her hubby now!’ one particularly furious Bears fan chimed in, while another added, ‘It’s ridiculously unaware of your surroundings and insulting to her husband.
