What started out as a concerning situation surrounding Luther Burden on X turned into a Chicago Bears fan movement.
Following the Bears’ tense 27-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a large portion of the fanbase was concerned about the status of Luther Burden.
The WR suffered a concussion following a helmet-to-helmet collision with Rueben Bain Jr., being forced to leave the game in the fourth quarter.
How Chicago Bears fans helped one X user struggling with their mental health
As many Chicago Bears fans took to X to frantically search for updates on Luther Burden’s condition, one post inadvertently appeared in their feed.
Unrelated to football, it was a young user on X struggling with their mental health, contemplating some dark measures as they felt they were a burden.
The use of burden led to the post from this person appearing in many Bears’ fans keyword searches. Rather than ignore it, many Bears fans began sharing positive comments of support for the young X user.
The user even admitted they knew nothing about the NFL, as they were from Australia. However, they woke up later in the day to find several supportive comments from Bears fans who reminded them of how loved they were.
Many fans sent words of encouragement, and while the user admitted that they are not familiar with, nor interested in learning about the NFL, they shared messages of appreciation for the support they received during a difficult moment in their life.
Usually, social media, especially X, can be a place where negativity and cruelty prevail, as the rise of online cynicism and cruelty has become the prevailing operating procedure on these apps.
However, this movement from the Bears fanbase to try and help someone who knew nothing about them or their passion was a heartwarming reminder of the humanity within all of us, and how we can help anyone, even strangers, with a few kind words.
