The Detroit Lions were winners Tuesday in something much bigger than football

Matthew Stafford said it’s the proudest he’s been in 12 seasons as a Lion. Matt Patricia called it an example of why he got into coaching.

The Detroit Lions didn’t win any games Tuesday, and they didn’t lose any, either. What they did was bigger, better and more important than anything they’ll accomplish on the football field this year.

The Lions took a day off from football activities to talk and comfort and use their platform to demonstrate against some of the real-life issues that plague America.

Racial injustice. Police brutality. The unequal treatment of people of color.
