Actually I like Briggs' stance on this thing. Good grief if players can wear pink for a month why can't they wear commemorative gear for one Sunday? Kinda feels like political correctness has overtaken patriotism anymore.
I would not be surprised if more NFL players (on or off the Bears), joined Briggs in this.
I agree though, that the best thing would have been for Briggs to just show up wearing the gear and not make such a big public spectacle about it beforehand. The Bears have had plenty of distractions this offseason and this is just one more thing.
