Simone Biles wore a Green Bay Packers jacket while supporting her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens , at a game — and the internet is blowing a gasket. On the heels of winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics , the Olympic gymnast cheered on Owens from the sidelines at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Saturday as the Bears played against the Cincinnati Bengals. But her fashion faux pas became a topic of discussion.
Biles donned a custom jacket with snapshots of Owens in his No. 34 Packers jersey, which he wore when he was a part of the team. She paired her outfit with a black bucket hat, sunglasses and a black purse.
Owens played one season for the Packers in 2023 before signing a two-year deal with the team’s longtime NFL rival, the Bears, becoming their No. 36 earlier this year in March. Some social media users on X, formerly called Twitter, had a field day over Biles’ divisive fashion choice.
Simone Biles should be stripped of all her medals after wearing Packers gear while cheering for the Bears. Yeah yeah I get it, her husband played for the packers and it’s an Owens themed jacket, but this is just wrong. pic.
