Spencer Torkelson offended his family by donning a Jared Goff jersey.
One of the National Football League’s most well-liked teams these days is the Detroit Lions.
Players from other Detroit sports teams offered their support for Dan Campbell’s club when they began their turnaround back in 2022.
Regular attendance at Tigers, Wings, and Pistons games is also maintained by Lions members.
First baseman Spencer Torkelson of the Detroit Tigers said he offended his family during the NFC Championship Game on 97.1 The Ticket.
The San Francisco 49ers have a successful past, having won numerous Super Bowls and taking part in a number of historic games and famous plays.
In the 1980s and 90s, a number of local media members even shifted from being supporters of the Lions to the 49ers as the team to watch because of all of their previous setbacks.
Even though he was surrounded by 49ers supporters, Torkelson continued to cheer for the Lions.
The young outfield player said to the Tigers flagship station, “I had a lot of family members not really happy with me because I was watching the game in a Goff jersey rooting for Detroit. The last game they played was against my all-time favorite team, the 49ers.”
Tigers manager AJ Hinch emphasized in a recent podcast appearance how encouraging Detroit supporters are to their local teams.
I adore the work that the Lions, as an organization, have done for the city. As they did for us in the final stretch as we helped Miguel Cabrera retire, the fans came out and supported this team,” Hinch stated on the podcast The Show. “Detroit has amazing supporters. You may learn a lot about Detroit—a fantastic sports community with amazing support for the local teams—by speaking with players, coaches, and managers who have visited the city.”
