Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford passes away at 88

Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford, the grandson of auto pioneer Henry Ford, died this morning, according to Ford Motor Co.

Ford, 88, had been increasingly reclusive around the team in recent years as his health became fragile. He made one appearance at training camp last summer, was in a wheelchair when he attended home games at Ford Field, and had at least three previous heart operations.

The team president and a Ford Motor Co. executive in the early 1960s, Ford bought the Lions for $6 million in the fall of 1963 and has run the organization for the past 50 years.

Too soon.

And it's not the front office; it's the city of Detroit. You try living there and being excited & motivated about life.

I wonder how you would act at some funerals in real life? Ah, how the internet can bring out the worst in people is truly amazing.
