Bears fans pile on David Montgomery over RB's "su**ed the fun" comments during his Chicago stint -"He’s slow as f**k" 

Running back David Montgomery didn't hold back about his time with the Chicago Bears. The running back, who now plays for the Detroit Lions, recently said in a video posted by the team that football was no longer fun for him.

As part of a 3-14 team that had the worst record in the National Football League last season, Montgomery said that he became accustomed to losing. He said that all of the losses took the fun out of football.

“That’s all I was used to. And it got to a point where it su**ed the fun out of the game for me because I’m a competitor. I like to compete," said David. "That’s what football’s about. It’s so refreshing to be in a place where that’s appreciated.”

David Montgomery continued by saying that he is a competitor and all he wants to do is compete and win. And that is why he loves football so much. He said that being with a young Detroit team who is on their way up is 'refreshing'.

As one can imagine, those comments didn't sit well with a diehard Chicago Bears fans base. Many took to Reddit and Twitter to hash out their grievances with their former running back, while pointing out his inability as a running back playing a key role in losses.

Others said that winning is never fun and that he shouldn't have been surprised that it was no longer enjoyable. It will be interesting to see the response from Bears' fans when he returns to Soldier Field next season.
