The team dedicated the game ball in the matchup against Minnesota to the Oxford community
A most extraordinary thing happened. The winless Lions fought for 60-minutes, punching way above their weight class.
When the game ended, Detroit’s tearful coach Dan Campbell spoke at a press conference, saying,"This game ball goes to the whole Oxford community and all those who were affected. And that being said, man, I just... I want us to not forget these names.” And then he read out the roll call of the dead and the wounded: Myre, Baldwin, Juliana, and Shilling, as well as Phoebe Arthur, Jon Asciutto, Riley Franz, Elijah Mueller, Kylie Ossege, Aiden Watson, and Molly Darnell, who's a teacher.
"Those names who will never be forgotten and are in our hearts and in our prayers,” Campbell concluded.... [+] wearing an Oxford High School shirt before the game against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field on December 05, 2021 in Detroit, Michigan. Campbell told the gathered press exactly how he and his team stepped back from gameday prep, assessed their “real life” priorities, and came up with a new game plan."My thought was, 'Hey man, if we can for three hours just ease their suffering a little bit, that's worth it,’” said Campbell.
Of course, you don’t have to be responding to a horrific event to play for a larger purpose. What we do have to do is step back from our souped-up lives to re-assess priorities. The encouraging news on this front is, first, that there are almost an unlimited number of things that qualify as a “larger purpose” than simply fulfilling our contracts to do this or that job for this or that pay.
