Clay Matthews Delivers Trump Message at NFL Draft in Green Bay

During the opening night of the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Packers legend Clay Matthews delivered a comedic 'message' he claimed was from President Donald Trump, declaring, 'The Bears still suck!' to the crowd. The stunt, a playful jab at the rival Chicago Bears, was met with a mix of cheers and boos in the stadium and sparked a wide range of reactions on social media, from amusement to criticism over the injection of politics into the event. Matthews was joined on stage by other Packers greats and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, with the ceremony incorporating local traditions such as riding bicycles onto the stage. The incident highlighted the enduring rivalry between the Packers and Bears, as well as the intersection of sports and political figures, but it was clear Matthews' remark was intended as a joke rather than a genuine political endorsement. Fans and commentators debated the appropriateness and humor of the moment, reflecting broader sensitivities about political references in sports settings.
