Lion Pentagon

Portrait of challenged Detroit (USA), for sports-media broadcast era symbolic Thanksgiving-football TV, challenged by terrorism...policed by a hero.

A Thanksgiving-media 'toast' featuring the humanity-reflective Detroit Lions in a fiction-story about American heroics/energy.

Every Thanksgiving, American-TV audiences are reminded of what makes the great Detroit Lions football team a hallmark of media-broadcast era entertainment, but it's also a reminder of what has tied football with the iconic holiday in the West regarding the ritualized sharing of food/family/customs/art.

DETROIT BOY: Well, I recreate every Thanksgiving Lions football-game on my Madden football video-game (Xbox)!

There's many ways to celebrate Thanksgiving or enjoy/cheer football-TV in America for the holiday-season, but for the citizens of Detroit (USA), the Lions-Thanksgiving annual 'ritual' reminds them why Detroit-culture/life extends to modern social media/magazine national 'sense' of photo-friendly journals (hmm).

DETROIT MOM: Every Thanksgiving, while the men/boys prepare for Lions-football/sport, I toast the 'art' of the food-chess.

Detroit had become a hallmark of other things in American pride/culture, including the symbolic auto-industry which suffered serious challenges created by the market-challenge(s) produced by Japan motor-companies (Nissan, Toyota), but Detroit magazine-IQ and ad-culture remains a 'toast' to what can make football-media/TV entertainment extensions/endorsements a reprint of capitalism-pride, perhaps for Detroit's prom-crowd, awaiting the following year's senior-year student grads with a pre-prom Lions Thanksgiving 'home' energy (ha).

DETROIT BUSINESSMAN: I keep abreast of all city-news by papers/email, but Thanksgiving becomes an annual 'treat' for joy!

Amlan Satan's a citizen of Detroit and a private-detective too and shares his awesome Lions-themed football-figurine crafted chess-set/board with his social-media (e.g., Facebook-chess) opponents/rivals during Thanksgiving time and liked talking about how media-broadcast era sports helps all Americans forget about 'tribulation(s)' like 9/11 and the Coronavirus and focus on the 'sportsmanship' joy(s) of human/social distances (yes).

AMLAN SATAN: I'm working on a special Detroit-city case involving a terror-threat on the football-stadium (Thanksgiving).

This 'terror' threat came in the form of some lunatic 'rogue-IRA' defector who left Northern Ireland (UK) and landed in the USA to create Thanksgiving-time panic, with the social-media 'chess-message' that the holiday-season and media-broadcast era sports-consciousness/capitalism is what 'fueled' the socialized 'apathy' that gave-rise to the devastating Coronavirus and 'wishes' to send a panic-button message through terrorism during the Lions-Thanksgiving game this year, forcing private-dick Amlan Satan to track this lunatic-man and end the Hell before the iconic game begins for the national/season audience (wow).

ESQUIRE: How'd you catch Sean O'Mara?

AMLAN SATAN: Well, it was 'excellence' in detection-chess for old Detroit!

ESQUIRE: You've made all kinds of social-media/forum fan-pages for journals, eh?
AMLAN SATAN: It'd become a 'stalemate' in international terrorism-stalemate diagonals!

ESQUIRE: Some say you're daring a cheerleader (football), Mr. Satan?
AMLAN SATAN: This is the age of Facebook-chess/social-media, and it just might 'save' human photography!

Thus ends a horrid tribulation in old Detroit, thanks to private-detective Amlan Satan who managed to track/intercept the lunatic terrorist from Europe (Sean O'Mara) and save Thanksgiving-TV (football), which incidentally, was 'iced-capped' by a 'fantastic' Lions triumph over a league-rival squad (visitors) which inspired a Coronavirus-artist to toast her own Detroit 'rendition' of what makes human courage so...evident.

AMLAN SATAN: I got this awesome Sanders-rookie (Score!) card as a souvenir-treasure of this 'excellence' in patriot-chess!
