Quote:The team name of the Chicago's football team is the Bears. Which makes me wonder, why is Illinois the only state that has a team that's NOT named for the capital of said state?Possibly because the capital of Illinois is Springfield, but I'm not sure what you're talking about. What do the Chargers have to do with Sacramento? What do the Bills have to do with Albany? Your argument is entirely false.
Historically, the Bears are the oldest surviving team in the modern National Football League, founded by "Papa Bear," George S. Hallas.
