As A Long Time Detroit Lions Fan I Am Proud To Post This:

Lions Fans Roar to Keep Nickelback Away
The Canadian Press


TORONTO - With U.S. Thanksgiving approaching, some Detroit Lions fans are telling Nickelback to stuff it.

A petition is circulating online to prevent the divisive Canadian rock group from performing at halftime of Detroit's Nov. 24 holiday showdown against the Green Bay Packers.

The letter slams the Lions for choosing "such an awful band" to perform and poses the question: "Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?!?!?!"

As of late afternoon on Thursday the petition had more than 6,500 signatures, a number that was multiplying rapidly as the story spread to news outlets around the world.

Many signatures simply decreed Nickelback as the "worst band ever," while others pointed to the long musical history of the city that spawned Motown, Bob Seger and Eminem.

"Haven't the good people of Detroit been through enough?" read one comment.

It's actually the second time in recent months that a potential Nickelback performance has elicited an outcry from sports fans.

In August, two Winnipeg Free Press critics penned an open letter to the NHL requesting that Nickelback be excluded from the splashy ceremony surrounding the return of the city's Jets franchise.

Long a popular target for derision, Nickelback has nonetheless sold nearly 50 million albums worldwide and scooped up 12 Juno Awards.

The Hanna, Alta., rockers are scheduled to release their seventh studio album, "Here and Now," on Nov. 21.

Lions week 13 game got moved to Sunday Night Football on NBC.

NFL, that's awesome but doesn't come close to putting fucking Nickelback on our field!

Maybe Detroit fans should worry about making the playoffs and not who is playing their halftime shows.

Worrying about making the playoffs is for teams that might not make the playoffs!

Got to respect that, but go perform at the Dallas game! Detroit deserves to have it's own music played at a nationally televised game in Detroit!
