Rapper Eminem, a Detroit native, gained notoriety this Sunday night when he showed up to watch his beloved Detroit Lions play the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC Championship. Eminem, who was well-known for his steadfast support of the Lions during the season, made a statement by being in the stands rather than merely cheering.
With an astounding 24-7 lead, the Lions were making their hometown hero proud as halftime drew near. Given the team’s past, many thought the Lions’ chances of winning the Super Bowl were slim to none, but Eminem and the team’s supporters as a whole had cause for optimism.
