McCaskey, 99, became the oldest owner in the NFL and in all major league sports in the United States following the death of Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson in March 2014.
Officially, she is the secretary of the Bears franchise, as well as a member of the team's board of directors. However, she is empowered to vote for the shares of her children and grandchildren as well as her own. Between them, McCaskey and other Halas heirs own 80% of the Bears. The Bears have been in the hands of the Halas-McCaskey family since George Halas acquired the then-Decatur Staleys from A. E. Staley and moved them to Chicago in 1921 (they were renamed the Bears in 1922), longer than any other family in the NFL.
Here is a very beautiful picture of Justin Fields hanging out with Virginia McCaskey last night!
