Martha Firestone Ford has spread the message she previous gave to media and players to fans of the Detroit Lions in expressing a commitment to turning the team she owns into a consistent winner.
Ford e-mailed a personal letter to holders of Lions season tickets on Friday that spoke of the disappointment her family shares with fans for the team’s 1-7 record this year and the appreciation of fan support.
Ford’s 212-word email was addressed to “Dear Lions Family” and included the phrase “You deserver much better.”
It ended by saying “please know that giving you a championship team is the singular goal for me and my family.
