New Pope News Triggers Caleb Williams' Two-Word Response of Approval
Chicago's Beloved Quarterback Extends a Warm Welcome to the New Holy Leader
Caleb Williams, esteemed quarterback of the Chicago Bears, hasn't hesitated to show his approval for the city's newest resident - Pope Robert Francis Prevost. Moreover, he's been quick to embrace the Windy City's distinctive dialect, likening the pope to a fellow Chicagoan with his two-word salutation on social media.
From the sprawling cityscape to the iconic "Da Bears" roars, Chicago has a knack for popularizing its own, and now "Da Pope" is gearing up to steal the global spotlight.
The selection of Prevost as the 267th pope made history, with a cloud of white smoke billowing over the Sistine chapel confirming his appointment. Hailing from the heart of Chicago, he's ready to guide the Catholic Church, just as Williams guides the Bears on the gridiron.
In the wake of Prevost's elevation, Williams wasn't the only one using Chicago slang to express his welcome. Social media was flooded with expressions of support and jokes referencing the significant Chicago connection.
Chicagoans Warmly Embrace Their New Spiritual Leader
While Williams clearly led the way, the city of Chicago was not short on tweets welcoming Prevost with Chicago-style gusto. Windy City Sports Cards didn't shy away from the bandwagon, even sharing a Mike Ditka-themed graphic.
Just as everyone jokes about the Bears, Chicago sports fans couldn't resist a bit of playful banter about their new spiritual leader. ABC Detroit affiliate sports anchor, Brad Galli, joined in the fun, while radio host Brian Fitzgerald suggested a nod to the Blues Brothers.
Aside from the fun and games, Prevost's college alma mater, Villanova University of Philadelphia, also congratulated him on social media.
A Baseball Fan at Heart
But there's one question on everyone's minds: which Major League Baseball team does the new pope proudly support? With Prevost's childhood roots lying in the South Side of Chicago, the city's two most beloved baseball teams - the White Sox and the Cubs - have been vying for his affection.
Prevost's brother, John, has confirmed that the new pope is, indeed, a White Sox fan[1][2]. Despite some rumors, he's never sided with the Cubs and has always remained loyal to his local baseball team.
The White Sox X account has capitalized on their newfound fan following, while the Cubs X account has been playing coy. Regardless, the City of Chicago has extended its warm embrace to welcome their spiritual leader, and the sports community eagerly awaits more fun and games as Prevost settles into his new role.
In the sporting world, Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears' quarterback, congratulated Pope Robert Francis Prevost, the city's newest resident, using Chicago's unique slang. This outpouring of welcome continued across social media, with many Chicago sports fans expressing their excitement and sharing tongue-in-cheek comments. Although Prevost is rumored to be a baseball fan, his loyalty lies with the White Sox, Chicago's South Side team, as confirmed by his brother John. The White Sox and Cubs accounts have both capitalized on their new spiritual fan, promising more enjoyable interactions as Prevost settles into his role as Pope.
