Sansa Stark Herself is Apparently a Big Chicago Bears Fan

The Chicago Bears appear to be in great shape ahead of their clash with the Oakland Raiders in London. Akiem Hicks and Roquan Smith are back on defense. Kyle Long returns to the lineup at guard. On the other side, the Raiders just revealed that two of their best wide receivers won’t be able to play due to injuries. That leaves three healthy receivers left, all of whom combine for 12 catches total this season. If all that wasn’t enough, it appears a special fan is cheering the Bears on today. The Queen of the North herself, Sansa Stark.

Sophie Turner, who played the iconic Game of Thrones character appeared on the sidelines before the game. Rather than wear a nice outfit befitting a celebrity of her status, the British native was decked out in an Anthony Miller #17 jersey. That’s about as cool a thing as people could’ve expected from an already exciting London trip. If Sansa is on there side, there is no way the Bears can lose this game, right?

Sansa Stark represents the huge Bears fan base in England

This actually shouldn’t be a big surprise. While soccer is the dominant sport over in England, American Football has its large portion of fans too. Many of them have been connected to the Bears. This thanks to a trip made by the 1985 team to London. That team, of course, became one of the greatest of all-time and British fans fell in love. Many of them have followed the Bears ever since. It would appear Turner is among those throngs. A nice nugget people might not have known about the popular actress.
