If that theory is true the most bonded sports fans in the world have to be those following the Detroit Lions. Why the Lions? The last championship the team won was in 1957, that's ten years before the first SuperBowl.
Most of the records the team holds involved losing, like being the only NFL team to go 0-16. It's an extremely rare occurrence when the team makes the playoffs, the team has only won a single playoff game in its history and they promptly fired the coach.
The team hires General Managers who have zero management experience and they're going to keep doing it until they win. The Detroit Lions just traded the best quarterback the franchise has had since 1957 in his prime to begin yet another rebuild, such pure joy.
- fuzzer37 6y agoNever gonna change till the Ford's sell the team off.
- rmason 6y agoFord ownership is the only variable that has remained the same. Did you know the date William Clay Ford bought the team? Pretty easy to remember, Nov 22, 1963. Talk about a jinx!
- toast0 6y agoThe Lions have one thing going for them. They always play on Thanksgiving. And we usually get to see my dad get grumpy when his team loses on Thanskgiving ;)
- rmason 6y agoThey get to do that because they invented the entire idea of the Thanksgiving game. It is also one of the few times they ever see their games nationally. I remember twenty years ago they were on Monday Night football for the first and I think only time. In Michigan it was a huge deal, the entire state was talking about something other teams take for granted.
