In light of yet another lost season for the Detroit Lions, many fans are directing their roars at ownership. Fan enmity towards Martha Firestone Ford, the principal owner since her husband William Clay Ford Sr. passed away in March of 2014, is at a fever pitch.
Heck, there’s even an intrepid fan trying to raise a billion dollars to buy the team himself.
While it’s difficult to swallow the 50-plus years of losing, changing ownership is not the panacea the long-suffering fans truly crave. In fact, any hypothetical sale stands a fair chance of making this franchise even worse.
