Do you they can't read what you have to say about them and their city?

OOPS! *eye roll emoji* *winky tongue out emoji* Guess I got a little too serious for Chief Delphi's Gracious Professionalism playground! Guess I should stick to announcing and not commenting on perpetuated ignorance! *Cartwheels*

I haven't heard the end of this BS since the Michigan State Championship. I was sick of it then and it's only gotten worse since. Seeing memes on twitter, eavesdropping on conversations at IRI, reading through threads on here that ooze with ignorance. I'm done biting my tongue. Someone's gotta speak up, so why not the man with the microphone?

I applaud your conviction.

My original post was meant to be mocking the people who were scared of Detroit as a venue for champs. Obviously such things can be unclear in text.
