Loneliest Lions Fan: Sixty Years of a Fan's Frustration

Sports brings unrivaled passion, not just to those who play the game but also to those who are rabid fans. As an avid seventy-year-old fan and supporter of Detroit Lions football over the past sixty years, this equates to decades of unmatched torment. Respectfully, I challenge anyone to opine on a more painful sports journey throughout this period.

The Lions organization mentally and psychologically drains every ounce of emotional well-being that resides in the heart of any Lions fan.

The dubious history of the Lions lasts six decades and can play like a Shakespearean tragedy or a night at the local comedy club. Some of the events are insanely bizarre; some of the organizations' decisions leave you completely dumbfounded. However, it's always interesting and entertaining. As often as you hear a Lions fan utter, "That's it, I'm done with the Lions," they always return.

Detroit Lions fans must be born with a sadistic gene in their bodies. You don't need to be a Lion's follower to enjoy this story. If you love sports, you'll fully relate to the roller-coaster ride that defines this embattled organization. If you're a Lion's loyalist, the book reawakens all the crazy memories, plays, players, coaches, and pivotal moments of this unique journey.

As a reader, this writing offers content that is lighthearted, eventful, and engaging. Just don't expect a happy ending; after all, these are the Lions.
