Martha Firestone-Ford Please Sell The Detroit Lions

Since Nov 1962, the ford family has had a controlling interest in the Detroit Lions. During that time, the Lions have made 11 playoff appearances one of which they have won! The players have changed, the coaches and managers have changed but one thing has remained over the years. The ownership is the same. Martha at 90+ years old, you may know business but let's face it you don't know the first thing about running a successful football club. Neither did your husband. It's ok though, we are not all meant to know how to be successful at everything.  Sell the team to someone who can give the fans what they so rightfully deserve, a team that wins consistently and a real shot at a Lombardi trophy.
