Video game star Ninja to be Lions’ honorary captain against the Giants

A couple of weeks ago, after the Detroit Lions at Green Bay game on “Monday Night Football”, Fortnite aficionado Ninja was done with the Lions.

But, just like the true Lions fan that he/we all are, we just can’t quit this team. Even though we swear we’re done.

Back in September Ninja asked to run the Lions social media. Finally, this week, they responded.

And now, to top it off, the Taylor born star gamer will get to be an honorary captain against the New York Giants.

While he’s no Quandre Diggs, who was traded away earlier this week to the Seattle Seahawks, maybe the Lions are trying to do a nice gesture to the fans who were upset by the move.

Big day for Ninja, but an even bigger day for the Lions who are looking to stop a three-game losing streak against a woeful Giants team.
