Support the Walkout on Dec 24th vs. Bears!!
In support of the “Fire Millen” “Save the Lions” movement, there is a grassroots campaign to have fans protest by walking out of the game at the 8 minute mark of the second quarter.
We are a group of dedicated Lions fans who refuse to let Lions Apathy rule. This season has been the first season where true, depressing, and disheartening apathy has permeated the stadium. We have to send Mr. Ford a message that things must change!
There has been a lot of buzz on this issue including the Detroit News, The Seattle Times, The Chicago Tribune, and many local and national radio stations. ESPN is rumored to be doing a piece on the walkout as well.
