There is a group of sports fans in Michigan that actively despises the Detroit Lions for one reason or another -- whether it be the team's half century of ineptitude or its infamous 0-16 season.

However, it would be foolish to think that those people outnumber #DefendTheDen Lions fans, as one t-shirt campaign is suggesting.

A new shirt campaign has popped up on TeeChip.com, suggesting that the Green Bay Packers are in fact "Michigan's Favorite Team."

What's funny is that this claim actually may be true for Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Above is a breakdown created by Twitter of which U.S. counties cheer for which teams. The Lower Peninsula is almost entirely comprised of Lions fans, while about 60 percent of the Upper Peninsula roots for the Packers.
