- Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected new Pope, is from Chicago.
- People have supposed if Pope Leo is a Cubs or White Sox fan.
- Sports commentators have planted on what the new pontiff could do for Chicago Sports.
Shortly after the white smoke from the Vatican fireplace emerged, speculation increased in the place where sports allegiances of Pope American and Chicago are located.
A Chicago Cubs Post On X, congratulating Pope Leo XIV gave people the impression that Robert Francis is rooted for cubbies. It turns out that the new pope is a southern side, raising the White Sox of Chicago.
“He has never been, never a fan of cubs, so I don't know where it comes from,” his brother John Prevost told WGN. “He has always been a fan of the Sox.”
White Sox published a clip From the WGN interview of John Prevost on X, with a photo of the video table of Rate Field with the message: Hey Chicago, he is a fan of Sox! The message said “Well, would you like to look at this … Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV in Chicago.”
So this clarifies this. But what about other sports?
A graduate of the University of Villanova near Philadelphia, Prevost retweeted an article celebrating the national male basketball championship of the school in 2016. The NCAA wasted no time to alert everyone on the social networks of the Villanova connection of the Pope.
“Villanova officially has a performance in the city of the Vatican,” said the post, as well as what seems to be number 1 with the words “schools with a national championship and a pope”.
But no one seems to have mentioned Pope Leo as a fan of Notre Dame. It may be a fact.
Being from Chicago, does it make a fan of a fan of bears and bulls? According to Yahoo SportsHe apparently never tweeted about a professional sports team from Chicago.
Friday morning, on ESPN “Get Up”, Michael Wilbon and Brian Windhorst burst into Pope Leo and how he could help the Chicago sports teams.
“In Chicago, we are so obsessed. We want to know everything about the Pope. Will he bless the bears? ” Said Wilbon.
Windhorst replied: “Forget the bears. Bulls on Monday at the lottery. Bulls on Monday, Cooper Flagg. “
Several memes With the new pope appears on social networks, one with him replacing Michael Jordan flying for a dunk with a red cap and a red zucchini, the little skullcap carried by the Roman Catholic clergy.
