熊队球迷搜「Burden」查伤情误入澳大利亚学生低谷帖：原帖浏览超700万，球队官方私信要寄关怀包裹
11月8日周日晚，在美国伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市，芝加哥熊队以27比24险胜坦帕湾海盗队。熊队外接手 Luther Burden III 全场接球推进97码并完成一次达阵，第四节在一次头盔对头盔撞击后因脑震荡离场。当晚，大批熊队球迷涌上X平台、用他的姓氏「Burden」搜索伤情，却意外刷到了澳大利亚学生 Yuri 的一条帖子。据 CBS News 报道，Yuri 在帖中写道，自己如果不在了，就不再是别人的负担了。
帖子最初引来一条不友善的回复，对方称大家正在找 Burden 的伤情消息、让 Yuri 不要发帖。球迷 Chris Lobosco 对 CBS News 说，其他球迷随即站出来制止这条回复，称这样说话不妥，接着成千上万条鼓励留言涌进 Yuri 的帖子。留言中有人写道「有人爱你，现在芝加哥熊队的球迷群体也爱你」，有人写道「生活值得好好过下去，我保证」，还有人送上熊队球迷的口号「Bear down」。
据 CBS News 报道，Yuri 的原帖浏览量最终超过700万次。Yuri 随后发帖说，自己根本不知道芝加哥熊队是什么，自己是澳大利亚人，这条后续帖也拿到约16万个赞、浏览量接近500万。Yuri 的账号原本只有寥寥几名关注者，几天之内涨到了上万名，多数是熊队球迷。球迷们还留言祝 Yuri 考试顺利、邀请 Yuri 日后来看熊队比赛。
芝加哥洛约拉大学社会工作教授 Jonathan Singer 对 CBS News 表示，人们在社交平台分享强烈的个人感受并不罕见，而这一次，球迷们用行动告诉一个陌生人：仅仅因为你存在于这个世界上，你的生命就有价值，希望你留下来。
熊队俱乐部随后也注意到了这场互动。据《芝加哥太阳时报》报道，11月11日周三，Yuri 晒出截图：熊队社交媒体团队私信表示一直在关注这件事、很喜欢球迷们接纳 Yuri 的方式，并提出想给 Yuri 寄一份关怀包裹。熊队官方X账号同日发帖，向「熊队球迷大家庭的最新成员们」送上特别欢迎。Yuri 后来发帖感谢球迷，称大家在自己最低落的时候帮了自己，此后已回到日常发帖，内容多是上课与学习。
熊队本周正值休赛周。据 Operation Sports 报道，Burden 预计不会因此缺席后续比赛。
Bears Fans Searching 'Burden' for Injury News Find an Australian Student's Post Instead: 7 Million Views and a Care Package Offer From the Team
On Sunday night, November 8, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, the Chicago Bears edged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24. Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III finished with 97 receiving yards and a touchdown before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with a concussion after a helmet-to-helmet hit. That night, large numbers of Bears fans went to X and searched his surname, "Burden," for injury updates, and instead came across a post by Yuri, a student in Australia. According to CBS News, Yuri had written that if they were no longer alive, they would no longer be a burden to anyone.
The post first drew one unfriendly reply, from someone who said fans were looking for Burden injury updates and told Yuri to stop posting. Bears fan Chris Lobosco told CBS News that other fans quickly pushed back on that reply, saying it was not acceptable, and thousands of messages of encouragement then flooded Yuri's post. The messages included "People love you and now Chicago Bears fanbase loves you too," "Life is worth living homie, I promise," and the Bears rallying cry "Bear down."
According to CBS News, Yuri's original post was ultimately viewed more than 7 million times. Yuri later posted that they had no idea who the Chicago Bears were and that they were Australian; that follow-up post drew about 160,000 likes and nearly 5 million views. Yuri's account, which had started with only a handful of followers, grew to well over ten thousand within days, most of them Bears fans. Fans also wished Yuri luck on school exams and invited Yuri to a future Bears game.
Jonathan Singer, a social work professor at Loyola University Chicago, told CBS News that it is common for people to share intense personal experiences on social media, and that in this case the fans told a stranger, in effect, that their life has value simply because they exist, and that they wanted them to stay.
The Bears organization then noticed the exchange. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, on Wednesday, November 11, Yuri posted a screenshot showing the Bears' social media team writing that they had been following the story, loved the way fans had adopted Yuri into the fan base, and would love to send a care package. The Bears' official X account posted the same day, extending "a special welcome to all the newest members of Bears FC." Yuri later thanked the fans, saying they had helped at a very low point, and has since returned to posting about classes and studying.
The Bears are on their bye week. According to Operation Sports, Burden is not expected to miss any games because of the concussion.
