Calvin Johnson's Hall of Fame ceremony turns sour, as fans boo Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp during introductory speech

DETROIT, Mich. -- On an afternoon where one of the NFL's all-time greats, Calvin Johnson, was being honored with his Hall of Fame ring ceremony, Detroit Lions fans expressed their frustration to ownership by booing team owner Sheila Ford Hamp mercilessly.

During halftime of the game vs. the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, Ford Hamp was trying to congratulate the legendary Lions receiver, but was showered with boos that were louder than the ones the visiting Ravens received when they ran on the field.

Johnson seemed a bit uncomfortable at first as he tried to quiet the boos by pushing his hands to the ground with a hand gesture while also remaining professional in his hall of fame gold jacket.
