A man attending a game in a rainbow afro wig and holds a sign that says John 3:16. Also known as "Rainbow Man," the born-again Rollen Stewart and his John 3:16 signs were fixtures at major events in the 1970s and 80s. Mostly behind the uprights in football games.
He brought his sign to the World Series, Super Bowl, Olympics, and World Cup. He was outside Buckingham Palace when Di & Charles wed; he went to see the Pope in Alaska. But he was known as more religious fanatic than sports fan.
In Detroit one sign has become just the same but on a smaller yet growing scale. In Detroit there is the "Fire Millen" sign. If it is seen at Ford Field it is taken and usually taken to the exits. I heard a person say the other day they they have had fourteen Fire Millen signs taken away at Ford Field in Detroit.
But recently it has been popping up all around the country. Some are Motowners on the road at a sporting event and try to get it on Tv and succeed. It is fully endorsed by me to anyone who wants to take a sign to a sporting event and is not sure what to put on it, write Fire Millen on it. You are sure to get some laughs and you will be helping a suffering Lions fan somewhere.
Coming soon I will share with you the most recognizable Lions fan. He is known as the Pilgrim. He is to Lions fan what The Big Dawg & the Bone lady from Cleveland, the Hoggetts from Washington, Spike & Raider Ron from Oakland.
Every sport has its die hard fan base. Yes even the NHL. If you don't live in a state you can play outdoor hockey or Canada you may not believe that. That is also another argument in my long line of arguments that the NHL should only be in those area I just mentioned.
I was bumping around youtube for a video I saw on another website of an NHL fan caught on the big screen. It was on Break.com.
I have put all three videos up against each other in a poll on FANIQ.com. You can vote here if you are a member, or sign up here. FANIQ.com is a website that tracks your predictions and opinions on sports topics and games. Of coarse it if free as well.
I wanted to post the videos here on this blog but apparently Fox sports doesn't have the ability to use embeded objects. Just click the links below that will get you to the videos on Youtube.com and Break.com
So here is the quetion I pose to you. In each video you be the judge. Is is a die hard NHL fan or just another Jacka$$?
Video #1- an NHL fan gives it all he has to help out his team. You be the judge.
Video#2- a fan gets caught on the big screen for his big moment
Video #3- I call this one poetic justice and you will see why.
Video number three to me is the best because the player doesnt let him off the hook, even after he scores.
