Analyzing the different types of Detroit Lions fans

The Angry Fan

This category has two sub categories. They both evolve from the Slappy or the S.O.L. Guy.
Angry Fan #1 We’ve all seen the Lions fan that’s punched a hole in the wall or cursed to the high heavens. We’ve all probably been that fan. Last year I kicked my video game chair into the wall after a Matthew Stafford interception against the Saints. My wife totally yelled at me and I said I was sorry by the way. An angry fan doesn’t always break stuff or curse. Sometimes it’s simply leaving the game early or ripping off your Matthew Stafford jersey and yelling “put in Kellen Moore” We’ll get to that fan later.
Angry Fan #2 This fan is a little different. This fan will get angry if anything negative is said about the Lions. This fan will loudly debate you all night and will tell you you’re wrong no matter what. There is nothing wrong with this fan’s love of the team. But if you insult the Lions in front of them, you’ll wish you hadn’t. Get ready for a long night.
