For years and years, some Detroit Lions fans have blamed the Ford family for all of the Lions shortcomings. I’m sure you’ve probably heard or seen all the classic complaints. Some of you might even have made those complaints. “They’re just collecting paychecks.” “No one in the Ford family knows a likc about football.” How many times have you seen the words “sell the team” over the course of your fandom? I’ve lost count on the amount of petitions to get the Fords to sell the Lions that have been tweeted or emailed to me over the last decade.
