Today, we stumbled upon FireMillen.com and their attempt to organize a “Baltimore Orioles-esque walkout” for the Bills game. Personally, we think the Bills game (10/15) is way too soon and way too low profile for a protest. We suggest they go with their other idea and stage a protest for the Thanksgiving Day game. Sure the matchup of Lions-Dolphins is going to send more people to sleep than the trytophan in the turkey but at least it’s a national game.
FireMillen.com is also suggesting that people wear any color to the games other than the Lions blue. However, if you don’t tell people what color to wear, you end up with a mishmash of colors in the stands and it just looks like a normal apathetic fan base (you know, like Falcons games) instead of a protest of the pathetic job that Matt Millen is doing with the franchise. This brings us to the fans of opposing teams in the NFC North. Shouldn’t they band together and make sure Matt Millen doesn’t get fired? When you can count on an exec to produce two easy wins for your team a year, you want to make sure he’s there for a long time. (It’s the same reason NFC East fans love Daniel Snyder.)
Finally, we have to wonder what becomes of websites like FireMillen.com when Matt Millen eventually gets fired. (Because if he isn’t fired soon, you know he’s got photos of William Clay Ford doing something illegal to Roary the mascot. ) It seems you would have to wait around for someone foolish enough to hire him. If someone else hires Matt Millen, we’ll lose all faith in billionaire owners but there’s still hope for the owner of FireDustyBaker.com
