I used to post regularly about the local Detroit sports products on the old DYes forum. It's what I follow. It's not that I don't care for all of the other civic minded things that happens in our fair city but with sports, it's always a changing landscape and a good diversion. Does it really matter if Brandon Inge goes 3 for 4, Rodney Stuckey getting a double double, Jason Hanson sticks a 53 yard field goal or if Pavel Datsyuk scores a game winner in OT? Not in the big picture but it's sure to cheer for our city's teams.
We're fans of our city's sports. We cheer for the guys [[and gals) that wear our city's uniforms. When they do well [[think Red Wings), we have a sense of civic pride. When they stink up the joint [[Lions), we're mildly embarrassed and yet we keep coming back to them because they're OURS. They, on some cerebral level represent us and this region. For all intents and purposes, it's entertainment- short & sweet. Having a forum to talk sports with other fans would be great but if Lowell finds no use for it, I'm cool with that as well. It won't deter any of us from following our teams; we love our Detroit teams to a fault almost.
