Well, this just got messy. Detroit Lions fans are fuming after learning that Brian Branch’s suspension appeal was reportedly decided by none other than a Green Bay Packers Super Bowl legend.
Branch, who was handed a suspension after a heated altercation with JuJu Smith-Schuster, had hoped for some mercy from the league. Instead, his appeal was denied — and when fans found out that former Packers star Derrick Brooks was the one behind the decision, things exploded online.
Social media lit up instantly, with Lions fans accusing the NFL of favoritism, bias, and even calling the whole process a “joke.” One fan wrote, “So a former Packer decides the fate of a Lion? You can’t make this up.” Others demanded more transparency from the league, claiming that this latest move shows how unfair the system has become.
For Branch, it’s a tough pill to swallow. The young defensive back has been one of Detroit’s hardest hitters — and his passion sometimes spills over. But for Lions fans, this isn’t just about one player. It’s about what feels like another slap in the face from a league they believe never gives their team a fair shake.
As for the Lions? Expect Branch to come back angrier, hungrier, and more locked in than ever once he’s cleared to play again. And if there’s one thing we know about this Detroit team — they feed off disrespect.
