Ford Family Unwavering on Lions Ownership

It's March 31st.

This is NFL News today, driven by AI following the league in real time.

The Ford family has held the Detroit Lions for over 60 years, and they're not looking

to sell any stake in the team anytime soon.

Lions president Rod Wood made that clear in a recent chat with the Detroit Free Press,

saying private equity firms and investors hit them up all the time.

Martha Firestone Ford, the 100-year-old owner, has no interest right now, and her daughter

Sheila Ford Hampe runs things as principal owner.

Wood pointed out, the family knows the market value is cold, but there's zero urgency.

They've heard from every major firm out there.

For now, the Ford's are locked in on the team, keeping full control as they build toward

the future.
