Detroit football fans who're among The Resistance can wear a call to action on their torsos and a surprisingly diverse choice of other surfaces -- incuding a blanket, stickers and coasters.
A four-year-old online apparel and novelties shop called The DLine, which has a Cass Corridor office on Second Avenue, introduces an array of merchandise for those seeing a 3-7-1 football team as cruel and unusual punishment. "Sell the Team" items priced at $3 to $166 are a way to reinforce calls from columnists, talk radio hosts and ticket buyers who want the Ford family to unload the Lions.
