Allen Park — There’s no sugarcoating the Detroit Lions’ on-field performance this year, and if we’re being honest, those failures have been going on for the majority of the past six decades. At this point, coal in the stocking would be an upgrade.
Double-digit losses, many by double-digit margins, after another offseason of renewed optimism have spurred a collection of cliched columns often churned out this time of year, including the ever-popular "Don’t let your kids grow up to be Lions fans."
But trust us when we say there are plenty of children in this community destined to grow up supporting the Lions, because behind the scenes and outside the white lines the Lions are supporting them.
