Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp understands boos, but won’t hide from public

The boos were so loud that no one inside Ford Field could hear Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp introduce Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson.

It was halftime of the Lions’ Week 3 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit was already 0-2 on the season and trailing 10-0 after two quarters of play. This was Ford Hamp’s first truly public appearance since she officially took over as owner of the team in June of 2020. It was also an opportunity for her to show that the franchise’s relationship with their legendary wide receiver was headed in the right direction.
