An open letter to the Staffords, I read that you reconsidered and decided to come to the game this Sunday night, and I'm very happy that you changed your mind. Playing 12 years in Detroit I am sure you know how important that playoff game was for us. Nobody intentionally booed your children, they were unfortunately caught in the middle between the fans and the camera l. It may have seemed as if fans were booing your children but we hoped that you know us well enough to know that is not the type of people we are. When the statement was made that your family believed that, it hurt a lot of people that were not in that building. As you know Detroit is not just the city of, but a much larger metro area. 30,000 fired up hopeful fans in that stadium is a very small fraction of the fan base and does not represent the majority of us If you could imagine..... you have an ex that you love so much who left you after 12 years for somebody better, and then took them to beautiful places they never took you. Then there was that stupid phone commercial that kind of rubbed it in for many of us. We completely understand why your family wanted a new beginning at the Rams and were all happy that the Lions were able to accommodate your desire. To us it was like helping an ex move to the house they are going to share in their new relationship. We cheered as we watched the Matt Stafford win the Super Bowl, we all felt he deserved it. We were so happy and proud for your whole family to the point that other people around the country made jokes about us cheering for you. Then to hour surprise the Lions are able to turn the team around. Jared Goff is a feel-good story of a guy that was thrown away, same as we were. He overcame the odds and helped bring his new team to the best season we had seen in quite a while. As a fan base we were not only very happy for him but also very proud, and many fans wanted to put it to the Rams franchise, not necessarily all your husband or family by chanting Jared's name and booing Matt. So there's quite a bit of extra drama going on that night. After 12 years in Detroit I am sure you know the fans would be booing any QB trying to take away our coveted playoff win that many of us had never even seen in our lifetime. I hope that the reception is different this time around however I hope you also understand the aftermath from that game from both Matt and you also had an effect on the Lions fan base. Matt saying that he was proud for the players, not mentioning the fans or the city knowing full well how much this meant to us. It would have made a huge difference for him to just acknowledge the fan base that loved him let him go and still cheered for him. Then we head to listen to 9 months of national Sports pundits telling a story of how Lions fans booed children, that hurt. This city gets enough bad coverage that it does not deserve. It would also go a long way for someone to come out and explain that moment and pulling your children was a misunderstanding or some type of explanation to release us from the judgment of the rest of the over those accusations.There are a couple other things but I don't want to make this any longer of a message than it already is. The way I see it, those are the two big you may get booed again when you should be cheered instead since this is a week 1 game and not a playoff game. That is what we want, but because of the drama from the aftermath I am worried that may not happen. Please understand that if you somehow end up on camera I would not be surprised if you get booed again because of that aftermath. I hope that both you and Matt can put yourselves in our shoes and see this whole thing play out through our eyes. When we were not rooting for the Lions we were rooting for the Rams just because Matt Stafford was on the team. This fan base loves him, appreciates his courage, his strength, and his drive to win. The fan base also loves you and your family for not only the things that were done on the field but the wonderful things the Stafford family has done off of the field that are greatly appreciated. Personally, I hope that when Matt retires one day that your family returns to the roots where the Stafford family was born and leave the perfect weather and scenery of California to return back home to Michigan. With love and respect, A dedicated Lions fan
Matthew is acting like during his 3 years in Athens playing for Georgia he NEVER heard 94,000 people in Sanford Stadium Call The Dawgs. I don't get it. Just reply back with "Go Dawgs"
