Many Detroit Lions fans are soured about losing to the Washington Commanders and killing the team's Super Bowl hopes. Will Michiganders still watch the big game?

There are a lot of Lions fans in my family and friends circle who are very disappointed in the loss against the Washington Commanders eliminating Detroit from any Super Bowl hope. I am one of the unhappy souls.

I've also had a few people say it's the same old Lions and I disagree. This is a different team than we fans have ever had so I think that is unfair to say seeing how they technically had the best season ever in franchise history. Many of my friends and family are boycotting the Super Bowl for two reasons: the Lions are not in it and they are unhappy with Kansas City and Philidelphia. I will watch because I love football but will other Michiganders? Let's find out what people are saying.

The NFL Meme's Facebook page posted a graphic of America and the question "Who America is rooting for in the Super Bowl." Other than the home states of Kansas City and Philadelphia the rest of the country and Michigan seem to have their noses up against the big game.

My dad has watched every Super Bowl since it was a game and he won't miss this one either, and he's a huge Lions fan. Maybe people are getting tired of Kansas City being there almost every year in the last 6 years.

Yes, Kansas City and Philadelphia have made several trips to the big game but people shouldn't boycott it because they are good teams from good organizations.

It's funny how a meme I didn't make said what I'm feeling.

No matter if you choose to watch the game or not, we have next year to look forward to watching the Lions try again.
