The Detroit Lions are now the Motor City's second pro sports team to publicly denounce the white nationalist "Unite the Right" rally - which took place Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia - because protesters were seen using a logo similar to theirs.
First, the Red Wings released a statement saying they "vehemently disagree" and are not associated with the white nationalist gatherers. The organization also told For The Win it is exploring possible legal action against the group utilizing a winged wheel closely resembling its logo.
Now, according to Detroit's local FOX 2, the Lions took similar steps after noticing a photo in a Newsweek story showing a rally attendee carrying a shield with an image similar to the outline of the NFL team's logo.
