Simone Biles recently made a significant sports fashion mistake.
NFL fans criticized the Olympic gold medalist for donning a Green Bay Packers jacket at a Chicago Bears game on Saturday while cheering on her husband, Jonathan Owens, from the sidelines.

“It’s ridiculously unaware of your surroundings and insulting to her husband,” commented one fan online, pointing out the well-known rivalry between the two teams.
The jacket featured several action shots of the NFL safety and a prominent Packers logo on the shoulder pad.
Owens played one season with the Packers in 2023 before leaving as a free agent and signing a two-year contract with the Bears in March.
Biles, 27, completed her outfit with a black Prada bucket hat, reflective sunglasses, and a black Balenciaga purse as she walked along the field in a protective boot after sustaining a calf injury during the 2024 Paris Olympics last month.
“With all due respect, Simone Biles gotta throw that jacket in the trash ASAP,” wrote another social media user regarding the fashion blunder. “How did she get in with that?”
“She’s obviously supporting her husband Jonathan Owens and she’s one of the greatest Olympians so she gets a pass,” tweeted sports reporter Chase Daniel. “But it’s still one of the oldest rivalries in all of football & she’s rocking #GoPackGo logos lol.”
In a TikTok video for the NFL, she addressed Chicago fans by pushing the jacket off her shoulders, revealing a black sleeveless romper underneath.
“What’s up, Chicago? Go Bears,” she said into the camera. NBC Sports captioned the brief clip, “The Bears’ newest fan… Simone Biles!”
Biles has publicly expressed her support for her husband before — most recently defending him when he wore her gold medals in a photo after fans criticized him online.
