Please Adam, think before you speak.

Think about every kid that's in South Eastern Michigan that's so excited to host you and your team in their city, a city they love, and a city they personally identify with on a regional basis.

Think about a city with so much culture it was called the Paris of the Midwest, a city teeming with beautiful architecture, miles of waterfront, one of Michigan's most beloved state parks, and green spaces everywhere.

Think about a city that has been war torn by racial violence, fire, corruption, a city left to rot by the rest of the country with only the occasional ruin porn prober from the New York Times sliding through to see just how dead it really is.

Think about the crime you'd be committing against intelligence if you ignored all of the above and took an entire region, its history, its present, and its future and reduced it down to a singular number.

The 313 is so much more than 333. If you choose to ignore that fact, most Michiganders would agree you're better off attending the Houston event.

Wow, I'm impressed that you felt so passionately about Adam's joke that you created an account and made your first post to defend Detroit so vehemently.
