Sports teams like to come up with catchy sayings, aimed at either getting the players motivated (i.e., “no pain, no gain”) or persuading the fans to buy tickets and otherwise support the effort .
In Detroit, the front office has unwittingly offered up a new slogan for the Lions, courtesy of an internal e-mail that inadvertently was sent to Kevin Furlong, who canceled his half-dozen season tickets due to the manner in which the team had handled an error regarding the location of the seats.
“F–k ‘em until next year,” one Lions employee was saying to another in the e-mail that ended up being sent inadvertently to Furlong.
Even more disturbing, in our opinion, was the reaction of Lions COO Tom Lewand to the notion that the profane attitude correlates to the attitude of the entire organization.
“If you write that, it will be factually incorrect and bordering on slander,” Lewand told Pat Caputo of the Oakland Press. ”And I will come after you.”

I'm with you 100%. I quit going to the minor league hockey here after getting some shabby treatment. And it was nowhere near that!

Unnacceptable.

Not that I'm offended by the language! I know that it is just a fact that folks in the customer service industry don't like the customer all the time.

I guess it is just the fact that they were careless enough to let something that bad out.

If you are a Lions' ticket holder then you are used to being f***ed every year, aren't you?

Usually it comes with a little wine and dinner though...this is pretty in your face...I would think.
