A True Fan Must Keep Hope Alive

detroitAs a lifelong Detroit Lions fan, I have had few chances to cheer on a winning franchise. In recent years, the team has sunk to a new low, plunging beneath mediocrity and into the category of league laughing stock. Boasting just one road win in their last 16 games, the Lions are a true case study in ineptitude. Still, as a true fan I must carry on and hope that the team shows signs of improvement next year.

When I feel my dedication to the team beginning to waver, I often pull on one of my Detroit Lions jerseys. Quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson are promising talents, so there is at least some reason to hold out hope. I must admit, however, that at various points during this season I’ve wished the coach would call up Barry Sanders. Even at his advanced age, he could probably do a better job than some of the players on the field.
