History of the Staleys

The Chicago Staleys are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. They were founded in 1919 as the Decatur Staleys and joined the National Football League (NFL) in 1920, when it was known as the American Professional Football Association (APFA). The team changed its name to the Bears before their first season began.

They have been one of the NFL's most successful teams, with nine NFL championships, including two Super Bowls victories. They also boast some of pro football’s greatest players, such as Red Grange and Walter Payton, who made significant contributions to establishing them among elite franchises within the sports entertainment industry today.
The early years of this franchise saw many changes from ownership shifts to location moves; however, despite all these obstacles, they still managed success on the field by winning six division titles between 1933-1943, plus three additional titles during the post-war era under George Halas's leadership which ultimately resulted into eight league championship appearances with four wins over that period time frame.

During the 1980’s decade Bears had arguably the best defense ever assembled, led by Mike Singletary and Richard Dent, which anchored the 1985 Super Bowl XX title run alongside Jim McMahon's quarterbacking offense dubbed “the 46 Defense” due to its formation being used on almost every down play call throughout entire season dominating opponents en route 15-1 record while allowing only 198 points total year-long average 10 per game! This defensive unit is considered one greatest single seasons performances any sport has seen at any level of competition across the globe!

Today Bears continue to be a competitive force NFC North Division boasting notable stars like Khalil Mack and Devin Hester. Still, unfortunately, they failed to make playoffs past few years, primarily attributed lack of offensive production since the 2017 campaign when ranked last in overall points scored standings, even after having numerous high draft picks prior 2019 season start, yet finished 8th place out of 16 teams scoring just 21 points per game average! Despite recent struggles, the organization remains a proud, tradition-rich winning culture thanks to decades of hard work and dedication to countless individuals associated with organizations throughout the ages. This makes them a true legacy franchise within the annals National Football League worldwide!
