Abstract
Zelia Griffith, Kolton Wilburn, and Wade Cooney Abstract: Topic: Binding or divisive? What is the impact of Detroit Lions winning impact on local community ties in Detroit? This research project dives into the dynamic relationship between the performance of the Detroit Lions, a prominent National Football League (NFL) team, and its impact on the community of Detroit. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research aims to investigate the effects of the team's success on various aspects of the community, including local businesses, engagement, and overall morale. Through a combination of quantitative analyses and qualitative assessments, we seek to identify patterns and correlations between the team's performance and indicators of community well-being. Key elements of the study include an examination of the community members and their perceptions of the economic impact, the influence of team success on civic pride and community cohesion, and the potential long-term impact on the city's image and development in the eyes of the community. This research not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between professional sports teams and their communities but also provides insights that may inform future strategies for community development and engagement initiatives. Ultimately, our findings aim to shed light on the broader implications of sports success for urban communities, with specific relevance to the unique context of Detroit and its cherished football franchise, the Detroit Lions.
