Long past time to petition the NFL to literally take the Lions franchise away from the Ford family.

...start by taking away the Thanksgiving game, prime time games, remove sellout viewing restriction, reduce TV revenue, freeze/reduce ticket prices, take away draft picks, make them wear yellow uniforms with a brown stain on their butt and the words "leper colony" on their helmets...anything to punish the worst organization in professional sports.

...of course none of this will ever happen...as the Detroit Lions are the irrelevant, ignored, illegitimate step-children of the NFL.

...it is up to the fans to once and for all put this organization out of THEIR misery.
