I'll understand if you want to think that this gentleman with the "0-16" tattoo on his chest is a bit of a numbskull. The Dino's Pizza tattoo on his right arm certainly backs you up on that.
But I love the idea. If someday by some kind of divine miracle the Lions actually win a Super Bowl, this guy's going to be able to take his shirt off and say, "Yeah, I was there when they went 0-16, and I didn't abandon my team. It only strengthened my resolve to stick with my beloved Lions until they turned it around."
Is he delusional to think that one day that might actually happen? Maybe. But you can't accuse him of being disloyal.
As far as sports tattoos go, I think that's a worthwhile gesture. There certainly have been worse ideas.
