Fans of the Detroit Lions have planned a protest against their horrible, horrible team. I can understand why they're upset, under general mismanager Matt Millen they've been unflinchingly awful since 2001. His firm committment to drafting a wide receiver in the first round every year just hasn't translated into wins.

Lions fans are going to walk out on the last game with 8:57 left in the second quarter. However, just like the Lions plans, this doesn't make any sense.

Let me make sure I've got this. If I'm going to protest the Lions, I have to spend a hundred bucks on a ticket, get up early, buy gas and drive downtown to Ford Field, pay to park, sit there for a few hours, buy a hot dog and soda while I'm waiting, and then wait for halfway through with the second quarter so I can get up, walk out, go home, and watch the game on television?

I've got a better idea, why don't you just mail the Lions a check for two hundred dollars and sleep late on Sunday? It'll serve the same purpose.
