Following the heartbreaking loss the Detroit Lions suffered at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, video game star Ninja vowed that he’d never again attend another game as a form of protest.
Literally never going to another game again. Cancelling my tickets to the Lions game.

But now it looks as though the Lions bug has bitten him again. The star gamer will be an honorary Lions captain on Sunday as they host the New York Giants at Ford Field.
Not only is @Ninja taking over our social media for #NYGvsDET, he's also going to serve as our honorary captain.
See you Sunday at @fordfield!
