Russell Beckman is a Green Bay Packers fan who has season tickets to the Chicago Bears, but now the man is suing the Bears claiming they’ve violated his first amendment rights. Beckman joined WLS-AM 890 to discuss his suit.
During the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Beckman went to a “pregame warm-up field experience” at Soldier Field decked out in his Packers gear without any issue. He was expecting to do the same last year, but six days before the game, he received an email with a list of rules, including one that said: “No opposing team gear will be allowed,” according to his lawsuit.
After exchanging emails with the Bears, Beckman knew he’d be denied entry if he wore his Packers jersey. He did anyway and, as expected, wasn’t let on the field.
