It's less the team than the city with me. Detroiters get disrespected so much that we have a bit of a chip on our soldier. I actually don't follow pro football in the least because if I did I'd have to follow the Lions who are arguably the biggest losers in the sport. There are players who have no allegiance to the city. They're not out in the restaurants or clubs. They're not volunteering with city's charities. So when they leave for more money it's just not that big a deal. Some of my heroes as a kid were Detroit Tigers baseball players like Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Mickey Lolich who spent their entire careers with the team. The city rewarded whatever money they might have passed up with business success after they were done playing. Vinnie 'the microwave' Johnson from the Detroit Pistons started a auto parts company after his playing career and has made hundreds of millions of dollars. He was from Brooklyn and could easily have returned there to equal opportunities in business.
