The Detroit Lions had put together what they felt like was a great team with all the pieces in place to win a championship the next season. They only lacked a quarterback that could lead them to victory. After failing to find anyone to sign or trade for, one of the scouts set out to travel the world to find a diamond in the rough who could be their guy.
He finally found himself in Afghanistan where he came across a young freedom fighter with impressive physical traits and leadership qualities. He watched as the young man pulled the pin from a grenade and threw it, and thought to himself "Wow, this guy has an amazing arm.....this is our guy." So he signed the young man to be the Detroit Lions new quarterback.
The following season, the Lions did indeed win the SuperBowl, and the young man called up his mother and said "Mom, aren't you proud of me? I won a SuperBowl!"
His mother bitterly responded "No, I'm not proud of you, and I don't care anything about that."
He said "But mom, what we've done is a great accomplishment. Why aren't you happy for me?"
She said "Because your father was injured by the constant violence. My sons are afraid to go out because of all the shooting and stabbing. My daughters can't go out for fear of being accosted. There is crime, poverty, disease, and corruption everywhere." She paused, and then said, "I will never, ever forgive you for moving us to Detroit."
