FanNation - The Republic of Sport

Fans are lucky training camps are open to spectators. While it is a free country to say things like he did, the fan did cause a disruption to the practice and he had to guy. No matter if a guy takes plays off or not, the point is practices are part of their job. The fan could have made a sign and made the same point.

That fan pays Roy Williams salary. Those $70 tickets to watch the Lions lose every year is why he gets paid so much. As long as he wasn't using profanity, he should be able to say what he wants.

Nah,
he keeps quiet, it is a distraction and he is not sure what the intent of each play/practice drill is. It 90 plus degrees, maybe williams and his defensive counterpart are taking one off....c-ya mr big arse Lazzara

throw the bums out ... that includes the bum players too ...

I guess the new NFL guidelines on fan codes of conduct applies to training camp as well.

Awww...too bad. Aren't those Lions fans mean Mr. Williams??? Don't you just want to come to Philly and play with D-mac???? PLEEEAASSSEEE????

Lito and a third (LOL)!

As a matter of fact, the fans don't pay Williams' salary, the Detroit Lions do.

The fans are paying the owner of the Detroit Lions for the pleasure of watching the team. If they are silly enough to pay $70 for a ticket to watch them can you really blame the players for having no respect for them?

I mean, if I was raking it in courtesy of some dummy stealing his kid's college fund to buy a season ticket to some mess like the Lions I would be laughing my **** off at the fans too.....

If the Lions are smart they will Franchise and then trade this guy next year. I know I would hate to see him go, but the team has bigger needs than WR, and what they could potentially get in return could help the overall team much more than what they would be giving up. Let's start, for example, with an offensive line.

Didn't this offensive line say they were good at the run block? What happened to that?

A distraction? They play in front of 70,000 every game. If you can't PRACTICE with one person yelling, you should't be playing the game.

Give me a break. One guy makes this much of a disruption? No wonder these guys haven't won in forever. Talk about crybabies. What happens when they play on the road and 65,000 people are heckling? Oh yeah, I have seen the results... these are the Lions, right?

I agree, if anything they should pay people to do that.

The heckler was probably cut from freshman football and is still suffering from post dramatic stress disorder...

I mean tramatic...

Or maybe he was a drama queen...then it is dramatic..

I want hot wings

Wait ... the Lions have fans ... ?

Who in their right mind would expend any amount of energy to heckle a Lion at training camp? Like that is going to make a difference....
