Dave Portnoy launches at Simone Biles over wardrobe controversy during Jonathan Owens' Bengals vs Bears game
After an impressive performance at the Olympics 2024 in Paris, Jonathan Owens' wife Simone Biles left fans unimpressed with outfit choice during the Chicago Bears' NFL preseason game against Cincinnati Bengals. The gymnast styled a Green Bay Packers-themed customized jacket, while Owens plays for the Bears.
In his latest episode of the "BFFs" podcast, Dave Portnoy shared his criticism of Biles' outfit choice while explaining why the Packers' jacket was a poor choice:
"This would infuriate me if I was a Bears fan... Bears-Packers are the Hatfields and McCoys of the NFL, Red Sox-Yankees. So you go to a Bears game on their sideline wearing their archrival's jacket, not the greatest." (Timestamp - 37:05)
After winning against the Bengals by 27-3, Jonathan Owens and his wife Simone Biles went for a dinner date with the gymnastics team of the Olympics. As for the outfit mishap, Biles was warned about it before the game.
Simone Biles was warned about the controversial Packers jacket before the Bears game
While Simone Biles had a great time cheering for Jonathan Owens at the Bears-Bengals game, she could have avoided the criticism that followed. Biles was warned by her friend to not wear that jacket, and in Tuesday's episode of "Hard Knocks" by HBO, the friend said:
“I would be taking that jacket off if I were you."
While Simone Biles is yet to release any statement, the gymnast did cast doubt about attending Bears games in the upcoming regular season. Along with her gymnastics team, Biles is attending the "Gold Over America Tour" to showcase her talent to fans.
“I’m not sure how many games I’ll be able to make because, in a few weeks, we go on tour. If you guys aren’t aware, I host the Gold Over America Tour, and I think we’re doing about 32 stops,” said Biles via TikTok last week.
The 'Gold Over America Tour' will be arriving in Chicago on September 29. The same day, the Los Angeles Rams will be facing the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field for the regular season game. While Owens prepares for the upcoming season, Biles is pouring her heart into designing her dream house.
