Chicago’s Mexican community is very large and goes back more than a century.

It was a thing to behold.

Yes. I particulary love the Ray Charles rendition.

I just saw that a middle school band director here in Ohio gave kids the option of a mariachi band over jazz band and they love it.

👊🏽✊👍🏽

Wonderful, wonderful! Thank you for posting!

As a Bears fan, I am beyond proud! I will also cheer on Buffalo for their playing our national anthem. Seeing MAGA completely meltdown after this makes me smile.

My hometown! Diversity is Chicago’s greatest asset.

Rarely have I seen a mariachi outfit with a harp but I did see one before at the Houston livestock show and rodeo, I happened to be there on the day the Mariachi competitors were performing around the park. I mostly heard those awesome trumpets in this performance

I had the same thought.

👍👍👍👍👍

And they sounded incredible! The high note was epic.

Luved to hear this due to the fact the sound of the Mariachi is 1 of many I miss from my home of California.🧡

Well, Viginia is finally dead so they don't need to be bigots anymore

So good! They did a wonderful job too!

They are messing with MAGA lol

😍

Dude. Chicago is deep blue.

Where is my Kleenex box?

Apparently they are Chicago locals.

I loved it!

but Roseanne!!!!

Was it Los Naked Mariachi? Jesus and I love you.

The ICE presence in Chicago was a big deal and massively unpopular. Good on them for doing this....

Was thinking that as well. Progress.

👼 Wow, me gusta that trumpet! That's the first time in a while I've heard the national anthem performed IN TUNE in a stadium. 😈 I hope somebody somewhere got video of all the Fox News geezers losing their damn minds about the sombreros, too.

😏

Where can I see it?

Love them!! Students of Mariachi! mariachiherenciademexico.com?fbclid=IwVER...

Well, its Mexican Heritage Month.

Important.

Agreed. They’re just really bad at football stuff.

Outstanding!

Is that a statement or a question?

Not subversive..Chicago has the largest population of Latinx outside Los Angeles..I love that for us! GO BEARS!!

It was awesome, good on the Bears

I gotta look that up in YouTube, sounds fabulous!

A supremely American moment.

Relax. The Sox did it years ago.

Surprise!!!!!😊

Go Bears!! Vayan Osos!!

I’m well aware.

Wouldn’t it be funny if we flooded political campaign ads that are pro Democrat with mariachi music in the background?

Human decency still emerges spontaneously in the most unexpected places. "They" know it is a fool's errand to try to suppress it. "They" don't have enough fingers to plug all the leaks.

I loved it! Latino Heritage Month celebration is ongoing, and the announcer said that's why they played it. Even if not, I'd still love it.

Fing awesome! We can change this together.

I know a member of the Halas family; he's a Dem and it wouldn't surprise me if all the McCaskeys are too

Illinese Subversion!

The Chicago Bears have been taking a stand for a while. Go Bears!

Cosmopolitan Chicago? Of course. Decatur? No.

You’d think so. But mariachi can be very trad/conservative coded in Mexican American culture. So it’s hard to say.

👍👏😁

Renewing my call for the Dodgers to do the right thing this postseason: bsky.app/profile/dbon...

You hope it’s a statement in support. Could be a statement of the bottom line. Either way the message is the same.

Loved it! 😁

I saw it too. Just awesome.

What power or influence, let alone focus on who performs a national anthem, do you think Pritzker has to affect Bears management in decisions like this? Give credit to team President, those he’s hired, and ownership who hired him. All them deserve criticism plenty; give credit where credit is due.

Mexico also has oompah bands. All brass marching around for Day of the Dead to call back the ancestors. All horns including a few tubas. youtu.be/uSurWpMt5no?...

They played the USA national anthem One day polka dancers will sing if Another time Italians Another time Israelis Another time Germans It’s so many foreign cultures live in the USA one day they will sung in Chinese All good

Fan video of the performance (the mariachi band looks like it's the Texans Offical Mariachi Band): www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvjM...

IKR!

I assume that the owners are aware of the demographics of their fan base and understand who is watching their games.

What I find touching is that given the terrible treatment shown to brown-skinned people by our government, these wonderful musicians still play that anthem so beautifully and with so much pride. I’m not sure I could be so gracious.

It's the NFL that sucks, not the teams.

I thought the mariachi band rendition of the national anthem was wonderful. Thank you, Chicago Bears!

Indiana Bears just doesn’t work

Love it!!!

Loved it as well. Go Bears!

I saw that too.

We’re learning about our neighbors…and it’s ugly.

Steven Miller must have been thrilled!

😃👍🏼👍🏼✅👏❣️

Chicago is hard core blue with a vibrant and completely fucking necessary Hispanic community.

I loved it! This was almost as good as when the LA Kings had the Koreatown Senior and Community Center harmonica club play the Anthem! Thank you, Chicago Bears!💙🇺🇸 youtu.be/fFdvHvSMtZ4?...

Nice spin of a familiar song

Oh my. That was so cool. It's nice to hear it played differently every now and then, than the same old ways it always is. Loved it!

GFY

A mariachi band played the National Anthem at the Green Bay Packer game last Thursday also.

One way to restore some semblance of the United States.

Perfectly subversive! I love it!

So, the Bills with the Canadian National Anthem and now a Mariachi national anthem. GLORIOUS!!

I love this as a Chicagoan!! Diversity makes this City what it is. 👏👏👏

no, because a lot of People sang along with the Canadian anthem, but incredibly illustrative f mariahi and Mexican cultural dignity. Choose love

They were both pretty awesome for me.

Do Americans know that this was happening with the Irish and the Catholics 150 years ago?

It’s in between. The Bears want a lower tax rate in AH, and want the taxpayers to fund a lot of the infrastructure needed in the area around the site to get fans to the AH site. But agreed that on paper, the Indiana deal is incredible from a financial outlook in a vacuum.

Americans can be quite clever in their eff-use to this admin.

🤣🤣🤣

I don't watch/follow sports so I'm glad someone posted about this. I can't be mad when there's Mariachi music around. Overstimulated maybe, but never angry. Even the sad tunes are joyful. Go bears.

The issue of Native American assimilation has vexed more intelligent men & women than me since the two cultures first met. Understanding might be gained by learning about the history surrounding the attempts at melding the two cutures: www.historytoday.com/archive/feat...

I’d break down crying every time the national anthem played after 9/11. Have that same feeling of pride listening to this.
