Jared Goff upsets SOME Detroit Lions fans by requesting controversial musician attend game

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who is fresh off a playoff win over the Los Angeles Rams, has stirred a mix of emotions among fans but requesting that a controversial musician attend the Lions’ upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On 97.1 The Ticket, Goff expressed his wish for musician Kid Rock to attend the game, a statement that has sparked significant debate and discomfort among the Lions’ fan base.

What did Jared Goff Say?

Goff’s comment reflects a personal desire but fails to consider the divisive nature of the musician’s public image.

“I think the only guy, I don’t know if I’ve seen him at a game yet, would be Kid Rock,” said Goff. “That would be pretty fun. I think the crowd would enjoy that.”

While Kid Rock does have a substantial fan following, his presence at a Lions game, as desired by Goff, could potentially lead to a divided response from the fans, some of whom have already expressed their concerns on social media.

The Bottom Line – Tackling the Unexpected Play

Jared Goff’s off-the-field pass to invite Kid Rock to a Lions game has resulted in an unexpected play of public opinion.

This situation serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between sports figures and their influence on public sentiment, especially in matters that cross into the realms of political and social landscapes.

        If it were a liberal singer, there would be no controversy. It’s only a controversy if it’s a conservative singer.

    • Oh look an offended liberal what a surprise this is america If your offended because someone had a different political view then. I’m sure Russia and North Korea have openings. So you can have your one sided elections.

      • So Kid Rock has a right to express his opinion but anyone opposed to his shooting cans of Bud Lite and other negative expressions can’t. I’m Canadian so I have no political leaning although here I vote Conservative. It’s the incredible vicious response that Trump supporters respond with. Trump has legitimized vitriolic behaviour.

        • This country is ridiculous if ppl get upset over stuff like this. Pretty soon ppl will be shooting each other because someone supports a different corrupt politician other than their corrupt lying politician

    • What because he supports Trump and loves America. , you must be a Democrat (liberal) we the people will vote in Trump 2024. You better get over it.

  1. Get over it… I’m no fan of much of Kid Rocks political mushogoss, but he’s got legit connections with Detroit and so what if Goff suggested he attend… He’s got more on his plate right now than a few hair on fire political fanatics…

    • Right. Goff probably has no idea! He’s from LA. Or wherever. Not from Detroit. I had no idea kid rock was a trumpeter.

      • Kid has every right to rep Detroit, regardless of his political beliefs. More Detroiters like what Kid represents than they are against him. So what, this is America and you can beileve in what you want. So where the hell does it say if you are a conservative, with traditional values you are divisive? Kid is not divisive. He loves michigan, Fuck the liberal narrative that if you are conservative and support Trump you are divisive. I am conservative, I love Jared Goff, Detroit, the Lions, Michigan and Kid Rock. I even love my liberal friends. Jerrod do not back pedal on this, don’t let the media and a false representation of public opinion change how you feel or what you said.

    • Yes! Absolutely. And we must remember Goff has not ‘grown up’ with KR. Nor does he give a rip about the political aspect of KR-as he shouldn’t. He just wants all the D originals around and that is awesome!! Love your reply, Stu.

  2. No let’s be clear only one side is offended by other people supporting different political parties. We Republicans don’t hate Eminem because he said f trump supporters. Why because this is America only democrats cry about politics.

    • What because he supports Trump and loves America. , you must be a Democrat (liberal) we the people will vote in Trump 2024. You better get over it.

  3. Kid rock is a Detroit music icon.. people are butt hurt because he shot a bud light can? It’s a football game. Not a political rally

  4. Kid rock is a Detroit music icon.. people are butt hurt because he shot a bud light can? It’s a football game. Not a political rally.

  5. Whaaaaaaaaa. Whaaaaaaaaa. Whaaaaaaaa. That’s all I really hear from these deranged liberal crybabies. Kid rock is more Detroit than Eminem. Kid sings about his love for the city his whole life. Because of all the liberal junk is why he moved. I would love to see him there. And I still like Eminem too. I could care less if he hates trump. If I wanted his opinion I’d ask. Otherwise I could care less. I don’t idolize Hollywood people. It’s kinda sad the people that do cause they actually hate you guys anyways.

  6. I can name other musical conservatives…kiss, alice cooper, Trump will be the next President. Live with it libs.

  7. It’s where we are as a country ridiculous who about your political views. It’s a football game..

  8. People are always going to have different opinions in life. When it comes to a Lions playoff game, you put your adult pants on and set your differences aside to cheer on the Lions. Go Lions!

  9. The people opposed to KR are all for diversity be it sex race religion etc…as long as the diverse people are the same as them. Last I knew the only thing requiring or excluding you from a NFL game was the possession of ticket.
