1 on 1 with Detroit Lions Principal Owner and Chair Sheila Hamp 

She has done more for this organization in the last two years than the rest of them did in 40 !!!!!!

Go Lions

Excellent insight into an owner that is doing a far better job than her family. She seems genuinely excited and passionate about the team. That’s not something I often felt with our other owners. I hope she keeps up the hard work. Good luck Sheila!

Anyone who says she needs to sell the team, needs to just find another team. Best owner we’ve had! #onepride

You are doing a wonderful job with the team💪🏿💪🏿 im riding with you all the wayyy... Much love #1pride💙💙💙

Very impressive. I can see why Brad Holmes & Dan Campbell took a chance on the Detroit Lions. She convinced them she wanted to establish a brand new day for this team, believed in these two gentlemen to do the job, & gave them the authority to do what they knew was necessary to properly change the culture the & the team into a winning one. She hired these exceptional football people & deserves to be included in the credit given for the hope so many of us are feeling towards this team.

I really believe her vision is to make this franchise a winner

She gets my vote as best Owner the Lions have had in the past 50 years.

I love how much more open and visible she is compared to previous owners. I appreciate her perspective and you can see the positive change in the org since she started.

On thanksgiving a few years ago, the lions were getting destroyed. The camera pans to Sheila and you see her with her head in her hands. Embarrassed, pissed and tired of the mediocrity. Right then I knew, she’s one of us. She gets it, and wants to right the ship and bring us a winner!

Keep it going Sheila. Doing a great job! This is the most excited I have been about the Lions in a long long time.

Shelia fired Patricia enough said.

Sheila is a true inspiration, and I'm so proud to have her as the owner of our team! I truly believe she is going to lead us on to great things in the near future. That's not something I've really believed in a long time! Go Lions, and go Shiela!! 🦁

Sheila you’re doing great things for the lions and the fans appreciate the work you’ve put in to bring this city a winner!

She's completely different from her parents. Go Sheila!!

Impressive and historic --- a member of Yale's first female class.

She’s the Queen of Detroit, give my lady her flowers

Lions social media team this year is 🔥

The best part about this was...she hates losing

I think she has done the best out of the whole family in running the team. I love her drive and confidence. Her psychology degree comes in handy in dealing with all the different backgrounds of players and coaches. The fact she is doing all this in a male dominated business is a tribute to her character. Detroit has finally found someone who loves to win and hates to lose. That drive matters. Go Sheila "drop the ford" Hamp

She’s the one. What she has done within her first 2 years of ownership has this franchise on the turn around. The pieces she put in place, with brad Holmes leading the ship, has me filled with joy as a lions fan. I’m beyond excited for the 2022 nfl season. Bring on Hard knocks! P.S. Lions media department with the “inside the den” and such are doing an absolutely phenomenal job.

I think I like Sheila more now

I love this she is more relatable because she is visible

She’s done a great job thus far!! The Lions FINALLY have a real bright future to look forward to! 🦁🦁🦁 Lions baby!

As a Cardinals Fan.. Sheila is doing a great job as The Detroit Lions Owner..... Keep up the good work!!!!!

Very well done and great editing. Really enjoyed this one. She may just be able to end this madness!!

I like the exposure our owner has displayed with these videos ,it shows Miss Sheila cares about us starving fans

That was very interesting to see behind-the-scenes with the newest Ford ownership and family I think Sheila Camp is going to do a great job for us

W owner

Finally a owner that wants to win! #TEAMSHEILA #ONEPRIDE

She done mre in the last two then both of her parents put together. Ik the real reason y lions always sucked an it's a damn shame wen Sheila been here only for two years an ready did way mre then her parents an ex owner she only gave a damn bout the tickets sell that's just one of the reasons y the lions always suck

Single handedly 180'd the sell the franchise complaints you'd hear. Great job 👏 not an easy situation to come into at all

She is doing good job, excited for the future of this organization.. #onepride

The same reason I played Tennis.. weird. Nobody can help you, but you.

Love the insight on our owner. She continues to make good selfless decisions despite the criticisms! Thats real leadership, man or woman. Things are changing around here and it starts with her. Keep grinding Shelia!

I'm not going to say the politicly correct thing here. Her start was a little rocky, but she began making strides. she's been making some really big boss moves.lets see what this season brings . G.M , Coaches , players etc.

We believe. Go Lions! #onepride

Great to hear from Shiela-the person, not just “the owner”

What an amazing owner

GOAT

I was at the Ravens Lions game when they gave Calvin his Hall of Fame recognition. I was ashamed of all the Lions fans booing so loud you couldn't hear her speak. I understand the frustration throughout the years. ( Trust me I'm one of them) But the lack of understanding that she is there but FINALLY an owner for the Lions who is letting people that know and love the game of football ( Holmes , MCDC etc) run the football operations. She is truly what we've needed for so many years. She's involved but understands what she doesn't understand and has hired incredibly competent people to run the organization. I applaud her and am excited for the future. Thank you Sheila.

This interview did an incredible job of humanizing her and giving us valuable insight into her perspective. It makes so much sense that she used tennis to prove herself in a way that couldn’t be accredited to the family she was born into. Subsequently being the first freshman class of women at Yale, being rejected a job in the NFL immediately after college, and then watching her mother in the board rooms leading up to her becoming principal owner has primed her for this job to a degree I can’t even fathom. She’s got a glorious chip on her shoulder to prove both herself and the Lions franchise, and I now have no question that the great hires she’s made were far from serendipitous.

Adam b34 still with no life trolling every lions video? Shocker

Amazing interview!

I hope she gets introduced during one of the games this year. Just so we can tell her how much we appreciate how much she has already done for this team, her team, our team.

Very happy to see Detroit finally moving into the right direction with Sheila. I Hope the Lions will do great this year.

Lions using gold and tan, the colors of a lion, as their team colors would show the world that the decision makers are reasonable.

Shes turning this organization around 🤙

Sheila is one of the best things to happen to the lions #onepride

I remember being at the silver dome in Pontiac and the was a Holiday in about a mile from the stadium and that where the Lions and a lot of times the team they were playing would stay there, at the time we didn’t know this a we booked our room this was 1992 I believe and I remember seeing the team there and we met Barry and Spielman and Mel Grey and Bennie Blades and Scott Mitchell and on Sunday befor the Mr Ford and his family came to the Hotel for the team’s breakfast and I remember seeing Ms Shelia Ford that day. At the time had no clue who she was but now I remember seeing her there, I was 13 years old and I never would have thought it would take almost 30 years for my team to finally get it right and the team would run the way it should be and it would be that young woman in the lobby I saw that day. At that time I never would have believed it, a woman running the Lions and that she would run the team better than anyone before her. I’m thankful times have changed and Ms Ford it now in charge.

She's Down to Earth, with a likeable sense of humor & I find her refreshing!!....

I am grateful to Sheila Hamp and the Ford Family for doing all they continue to do for the Detroit Lions organization in all of the seasons, this season and seasons to come. It’s great to learn more about her story and learn about how “hands on” she is about the Detroit Lions program with Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell. I grew up watching the Detroit Lions during the Ford Family ownership era from the 1980s to present with the amazing Wayne Fontes, Barry Sanders, Chris Spielman, Herman Moore, Lomas Brown, Erik Farmer, Jason Hanson, Dan Campbell, Jim Caldwell, Reggie Bush, Joique Bell, Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater, Darius Slay, Golden Tate, Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones Jr., Jared Goff, David Blough, D’Andre Swift, Penei Sewell, Josh , Julian Okwara, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jeff Okudah, Craig Reynolds, Jamaal Williams, Amani Oruwariye, Charles Harris, Jeffrey Jacobs, current Lions’ rookies Aidan Hutchinson, Jameson Williams, Greg Bell, and players, and so much more. I am rooting for the Detroit Lions to continue in their upward trajectory for success this season and seasons to come. Honolulu Blue and Silver for the win!

Great video

I said before that a pride of lions is lead by a strong female who surrounds herself with strong males. She has done a great job thank you sheila this all started with you

So far she gets a A+, loved it when she was given the game ball in the locker room after the Packers game.

She needs more credit for turning this team around, arguably the lions best owner ever.

I really love Sheila

For all the years her father ran the team like a Fortune 500 Company-so often just out of reach of playoff success-it’s such cool irony that the Ford’s NOT ever selling the team, so this incredible woman could finally take the reigns, is what has finally led to our being set up to become a premier team in the NFL. And when we take home our first Lombardi in the next 3-4 yrs (and compete for them for a decade on), we will all have her to thank. Sheila Hamp is the Queen!!!! 👸 🚗 🦁 Let’s go Lions!!!!!! It’s finally our time again!!!!!!✊

Love Sheila. GREAT owner!

Well I for one am on Sheila's band wagon :)

Sheila is a class act.

Changes are happening in Detroit..slowly but surely

Sheila Ford Champ

Sheila is doing a phenomenal owner / leader of the Lions.

Public service announcement: AdamB34, ThomasWatkins aka Tommie Watts and a few others are UBER TROLLS. Best to not engage them, as it makes them feel relevant, and wastes your own precious time and energy. I, and other brave souls, will troll these trolls, for every lame comment, every time. This I do pledge.

All this time, I never quite knew the story behind Sheila Hamp, since I wasn't very much aware of her and her family history, until watching her and her mother, Martha, in that "Lifetime of Sundays" Documentary, from a few years ago (7:18 was my favorite part). Martha and Sheila do have my heart, even as a Bears fan, for how they're living, and how they're handling everything, between family and football, together. Like Virginia Halas McCaskey, I sure do hope Martha Ford becomes 100 years old, herself, too.

So. Be the CEO of the Ford motor company, or, be the CEO of the Detroit Lions? 🤔 I’m thinking being CEO of the Lions is a lot more fun.

Well, as a 55+ year Lion fan, I have to admit that I hated the Ford Family with a passion as we watched our beloved team wallow in utter incompetence for all those years. I have to now apologize, as this last glorious season has made up for all of the 55 prior years of horror. And, we seem to be in a spot where we can build ourselves up for at least a 3-4 year run. If we ever win the Super Bowl, words will not be able to express what I, and a lot of my fellow friends/fans will feel.

Thank God for Shelia to bring bad a dead and dying organization...I'm actually excited about the lions and I have hope again!!!

Blah Blah Blah since your rebuilding AGAIN! How about lowering concessions/ parking / ticket prices instead of keep sticking it to the people who has supported you through this cluster f@#% of a team !

She's definitely learned from her parents' mistakes, who work good and smart people but just did not lead the organization well. Not to be morbid, but I wonder who her successor would be if something happened (she's 71)? Bill Jr seems to feel more obligated to the FMC, tho I know he would love to do it...

Dear mama I would like to thank you and your mom for all the great things that you’ve done for us lions fans!! We have a great team!!

After my grandma passed I got some of her old photos. One is a picture of the Lions playing at Briggs Stadium. The caption on the back says The Lions lost but at least the Jack Daniels kept us warm.

Love that getting a birthday present from night train was her best birthday memory. True football fan.

good to know, she really care about the team, go lions!!!

Just shows how disconnected from reality....... Still a ford........

I’m rooting for her HARD

I agree with Slim Pickens! Been following this team since 1958 ! I was 11 years old!! You figure it out Dad !!!

She is hands down the best ford to run this franchise. She truly gives about this team. Love how involved she's trying to be!

THIS IS MAKING ME TEAR UP STOP BOOING THIS WOMAN!!!

My goodness, and sounds like she only wants to win. The poster that she took to college tells me whatyou is important tonote her.

She raised three boys? No wonder she was ready to run a NFL team.

What a wonderful lady and a great team owner. I see great things for my Lions in the near future.

she brings a new meaning to the song oh sheila.i love this woman.she has grit and insighr.❤

OH....OH SHEEEEEEILAAAA!!!!

She’s just down right inspirational

she needs some good PR lol. Idk why the fans boo her.

Sheila has been incredible. One Pride

She’s doing a great job.

I like how she wants to be separate from her family and forge her own path. Here's to hoping shes fr.

SHEIIIIIIIIILLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA

Thank you Sheila

Where’s bill junior ?

If only she didn't let quin stay that extra yr

Eyes a bit glassy Sheila, smoke 1 on the field for us

Sheila has broken down barriers, raised a family, a great leader, and appears to be a very kind, wonderful person. I'm proud she is the owner of "my" Lions. I often watch old games on youtube, and I'm pretty sure I saw her emphatically cheering after a Lions touchdown against the Cardinals in 1989. It was also cool as she turned to her father with pride as they were both excited. It was Barry's first game. Go Lions!

what an inspiration Sheila is 🦁❤️

The moment I hear the phrase "as a woman," I'm logging out.

W

Doesn’t want to lose eh
