In a business that is overrun by mostly men, there is one woman who stands out. A woman who has been a part of the boys club for so long, that she deserves to be honored for dedication to the Chicago Bears.

This is the 100th year anniversary of the NFL and also the same anniversary for the Chicago Bears.

In honor of this, the NFL took a look at four women who have been a crucial part of the success of the league. They created a documentary that looks into the lives of these women and Chicago Bears owner Virginia McCaskey is one of them.

Before we get started, we here at Da Windy City want to give a big shout out to all of the moms out there! We especially want to give a big shout out to the ones who brought us into this world and those who have brought our own children into the world.

Mothers deserve more than one day of celebration and recognition. Make sure to take full advantage of your spouses and children today!

Now, let us get back to looking at the true Mama of the Chicago Bears, Virginia “Mama Bear” McCaskey. She does not do interviews often, but she is going to be recognized in an NFL documentary that comes out sometime soon titled “A Lifetime of Sundays”.

This documentary had unprecedented access to Virginia McCaskey (Bears), Patricia Rooney (Steelers), Martha Firestone Ford (Lions) and Norma Hunt (Chiefs). The documentary goes behind the scenes of the personal and professional lives of four women who have been a part and seen the NFL transform into the global giant it is today.

I might be biased, but I find that McCaskey stands out above the rest here. She is the true “OG” of the female owners. The others involved have been a part of things, but have taken somewhat of a backseat to their husbands. Not “Mama Bear” though, she has been the operating owner since her father passed away in 1983. She is still going strong at a ripe age of 96 years-old.
