The Detroit Lions made league headlines this week as they changed ownership. Sort of. Martha Firestone Ford announced she was stepping down and relinquishing principal ownership of the Honolulu Blue and Silver to her second eldest daughter Sheila Ford Hamp.
No matter how you choose to perceive it, that does mean the Lions will continue to be a Ford product. For better or worse.
So the question is; will it be business as usual with more losing? Or will this change actually make a positive impact on this franchise?
Only time will ultimately answer the question, but there are certainly reasons why some fans will see this as a continuation of the disaster we know as the Detroit Lions, while others will see a ray of hope on the horizon.
