The Canadian crooners have become an unlikely unifier in North American sports today, with a campaign against their selection as half time entertainment at a Detroit Lions thanksgiving game. The Lions are 6 and 2 for season and the game will be televised and therefore important and as soon as Chad and the Alberta boys were named as the crowd half time fluffers, it became clear that Detroit was not going to take it lying down.
The Here and Now of the situation is that there is an online petition with about 17,000 signatures of people who want Nickleback cut from the bill, but there is a Long Road Ahead with this journey and usually for the soft rockers things have a tendency to land Siliver side up..
Lend the campaign a hand here and have a listen to this while you do so
