Detroit Sports Decade Of Pain

Detroit Sports has gone through a decade of pain from 2012-2022. With record-setting losing percentages, terrible trades, mismanagement, and an inability to perform in the postseason, all four teams in Detroit reached new lows at the same time. But with Dan Campbell leading the Lions and the Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings building a young core, Detroit may be poised for a comeback.

As a lifelong Detroiter this video was painful to watch but 100% true. Sometimes being a fan is painful and sometimes it’s pure joy. I’ve watched some of the best ever to play the game. Barry, Calvin, Stevie Y, Zeek, Miggy. Tram and Lou. I’ve celebrated championships, gone to parades, and been in the house for title clinching moments and historic milestones. I’ve cried both tears of joy and pain and I wouldn’t trade it for any other sports city. Don’t feel bad for Detroit sports fans. We’re hardened by the losing and pain. It makes us stronger. Detroit vs Everybody. If you want to feel bad for a sports city it should be Oakland. That’s pain.

One thing to note as a Detroit sports fan: nearly everyone I know have enthusiastically cheered on the wins of ex-Detroit stars like Scherzer, Verlander, Stafford, Helm and others with other teams. In most cases people seem to be "its obvious they weren't going to win with us, so we're just happy they get to be on top".

It’s crazy because I’m 29, been a huge Detroit sports and Michigan state fan my entire life. Basically from the year I was born until 2014 at least one team that I like was competing for the championship or coming really close almost every year. Red wings in the late 90s/2000s, pistons from 02-08, tigers made two World Series/2 more ALCS between 06-13, Michigan state basketball was great in the late 90s/2000s/early 2010s, and msu football was rear in the early 2010s, even the lions were pretty good in 2014. Watching the lions be good last year was fun as hell but it almost felt weird after the past 10 years of nothing but meaningless sports.

@Imadawg213 2 ай бұрын

Honestly there have been big what ifs since 2008 with Detroit sports. What if Pistons didn’t trade Chauncey? Like they could’ve been a 54-58 win team for prob just a couple more years but the finals would be unlikely with the Magic Celtics and Cavs on the rise between 09-10 and they were old but it would still be fun to see the remaining years left of a powerhouse that won a ship’ What if the Wings win game 7 in 2009? They were getting old anyways and a decline was coming but more importantly what about game 7 2013? They prob could’ve played in the Stanley cup since they were the hottest team in the NHL in 2013. What if the Lions held on to the 24-7 lead? Prob win the SB If the Tigers stayed healthy and had decent batting…they would’ve made the World Series 3 years straight from 2012-2014 with a title in 2013 and they would run it back in 2014. What if the Tigers stayed healthy under AJ Hinch and didn’t nose dive awfully in the early season? They would be contenders from 2021-present This shows how much potential Detroit has for a city sports wise

@awsomkris 22 күн бұрын

I watched the Tigers win at Tigers stadium in 1984 (I was 5) and witnessed 7 other championships since then… Outside of Boston what other city has seen that many championships? Detroit is one of the best sports cities. MSU, and Michigan have a few Championships also.

Don't get me wrong cars are great and they absolutely have their place, just not the dominant place they have in American society right now, look at Amsterdam in the Netherlands.. a beautiful example of a humanely designed city, though it too went down a car dependant route for a period of time, they fixed it, and pretty quickly too. It's not too late to change and obviously driving should be an option, just not the only option ruling over all else as it is today.

Tigers are pissing me off, but theyre not too far behind KC, Minnesota, and Cleveland so there's hope. The pistons are still a young team and I'm ready to one day watch them compete in the playoffs like they were back when I was in middle school and high school.

Maybe not a good decade for Detroit sports, but actually a decent decade for the city of Detroit as a whole.

Lions had a phenomenal season but literally blew a 3 score lead which could’ve made history, wings were eliminated from the playoffs at the Final Cut the last 2 years and got robbed by injuries and underperforming free agents too, tigers since 2021 have just been middle of the pack and the Pistons are worse than they have ever been.

The pistons got swept in 2019, their last playoff appearance, and last won a playoff game in 2008/9. The lions just won their first playoff game in my lifetime and it took until I was 20.

Even as a Michigander, I couldn’t care less about the Lions. At least the Pistons won a championship in 2004 even if they blew the chance at a back to back championship repeat in 2005, literally in the final few minutes of Game 7 of the NBA Finals. The Red Wings too won a championship, back in 2008 and also had a chance to repeat before falling in the 2009 Stanley Cup Final. The most pain I personally feel is as a Tigers fan, however. I was 3½ when they last won it all in 1984, and the awful performances in the 2006 and 2012 World Series didn’t help matters. Barring a miracle they are all but guaranteed a little over a year from now to have gone 40 years without a championship-but hey, that’s better than *65 years* without one, right Lions? LOL
