The Broncos have a horse. The Seahawks fly an osprey into their stadium.
So why wouldn’t the Detroit Lions have a real lion in their stadium? That’s what Dan Campbell thinks.
In the show Pardon My Take, the Detroit coach again defended this idea. Unfortunately for him, it doesn’t pass at the NFL level.
“Sheila (Ford Hamp, owner of the Lions, Ed) had no problem with that. But the league doesn’t approve of that sort of thing.
I’m not going to point fingers at Roger (Goodell) on that, I’d say the league doesn’t like that kind of stuff, we’ll just say that. »
Since a lion isn’t meant to be kept in a cage in the middle of a stadium, that’s probably wiser.
Campbell will have to find something else to ” the little extra motivation. »
