The two greatest players on the Lions in the last 30 years (at least) - Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson - retired early and I couldn’t imagine booing either.
Also, unlike the Colts, the Lions did go after both Barry’s and Johnson’s salary bonuses and got their money back. One of the many reasons the Detroit Lions are not a class organization.
