SAD NEWS: Detroit lions head coach angry with….
The Detroit Lions’ 2023 campaign was quite impressive. They made an incredible run to the NFC Championship Game and won their division for the first time in thirty years with a 12-5 record. A season full of highs—two playoff wins at Ford Field, among other things—brought them dangerously close to making their first-ever Super Bowl trip. Videos of Lions general manager Brad Holmes exuberantly celebrating big wins during this exciting journey went viral on social media.
During an open discussion with Lions reporter Dannie Rogers, Holmes revealed the sincere cause of his jubilant celebrations, emphasizing his close bond with the team’s supporters.
“I was thinking, ‘What?’ when I saw how many people showed up in Kansas City. Thursday? I understand that it’s the opener and everything, but it’s still Thursday night. You must be absent from work. […] Folks with children, it’s a school night. A lot of sacrifice is involved. Holmes remarked, “I had to give them love as soon as I realized that.
Brad Holmes’ emotional reaction to the Lions’ season-long triumph highlights an important but sometimes underappreciated part of sports: the close relationship that exists between a club and its fans. The supporters’ dedication, demonstrated by their large attendance for a Thursday night game in Kansas City, especially impressed Holmes. This incident served as a potent reminder of the lengths supporters would go to in order to support their team, including skipping work or attending family obligations on a school night. More than merely expressing his own happiness, Holmes’ exuberant celebrations of victories were an acknowledgement and celebration of the supporters’ unwavering sacrifice and support.
