Glad to have you Ryan! When there were rumbles about an NFL team moving to London, the first image I saw was that group of four Lion statues in London, which I always found stunningly gorgeous. The football Lions were terrible then and I worried we might lose them.

I've waited 60 years for my team to be legit. They are now. Go Lions! _onepride_

[davidmegatron]

Well deserved Ryan, Least I’m not the only lions fan in the UK, been suffering since 1999 up here in Scotland I cried when we won that Rams game the only way is up hopefully smash the draft tonight and make a run for the superbowl this upcoming season

[tylerogle]

Fantastic! Glad to be cheering with ya mate! Go Lions!

[dragondrew]

The pride should be much more popular in the UK!

[troyclaerhout]

I'm usually happy to hear the Lions aren't playing in London each year but now I'm hoping you get one in 2025, you deserve it!! Go Lions!!

[dennisyounkin]

Well h proved my theory wrong about being a lions fan. Unlike me you aren’t born in through family and the city you were born in. So cool bro and appreciate the support. Let’s go lions one pride.
