Simone Biles’ influence on gymnastics and the Olympics is enormous
After her convincing performance at the Paris Olympics, USA TODAY’s Nancy Armour says Simone Biles has cemented her reputation as the greatest gymnast.
Simone Biles will need a new jacket for the NFL season.
Last season, the gym icon’s fits were legendary as she supported her husband Jonathan Owens on the Green Bay Packers.
Owens is now in Chicago with the Bears, the Packers’ oldest rival, but Biles apparently hasn’t updated her wardrobe yet.
This became clear when she wore a Packers jacket with an Owens motif in enemy territory on Saturday.

Fresh from her gold medal success at the Olympics, Biles was in Chicago for the Bears’ second preseason game at Soldier Field.
Biles, wearing a walking boot because of a calf injury he sustained at the Olympics, came out of the tunnel before the game and spent some time on the sidelines.
“What’s up, Chicago?” Biles said in a video clip on the NFL’s X-Account. “Go Bears.”
Social media reactions to Simone Biles wearing a Packers-themed Jonathan Owens jacket at the Bears game
Bears fans immediately noticed Biles’ jacket.
Although it was filled with photos of Owens, they were photos of Owens as a Packer, with a prominent Packers logo on one shoulder. Owens signed with the Bears as a free agent this offseason as the Packers were revamping their safety position.
To be fair, Biles has been pretty busy lately, winning three gold medals and a silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the last few weeks. We’re sure the most decorated gymnast in the history of the sport will realize by the time the regular season starts that anything green and gold is not allowed at Soldier Field.
This is how social media reacted:
Packers fans were happy about Simone Biles’ jacket
Packers fans were thrilled to have Biles as part of the family last season, and the feeling was mutual.
“Thank you Green Bay for the hospitality,” Biles wrote on Instagram after the 2023 season. “We really enjoyed our time here. Thank you to the Packer family for making us a second home! It’s so nice to be part of such a special season!”
