I think growing up as an athlete has shifted Shiela’s perspective away from her parents’ perspectives. She can see and understand things better and on a deeper level than her parents. She has that competitive passion that drives from being in a sport, and it shows.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.❤

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

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.

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!

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!!!!!!

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.

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

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

I feel like since she’s actually won at a sport on a high level, she’s much more competitive than her parents. I’m literally getting chills thinking of how great of a turn she’s made with this organization. We’re trending up... no question about that. She wanted to work for the NFL for a long time.

I think the old owners get a bum rap. There's a difference between not wanting to win and not knowing how to win. The lions always have had top facilities and they've done it without taxpayer money and they have always spent what's needed to be spent too fill out a roster. There was a reputation amongst the Fords of being cheap in the early eighties but by 1990 that was totally not true and that was back when they had unlimited free agency with no salary cap

She’s doing a great job.

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

Imagine looking back and realizing Sheila was your 1st grade teacher

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.
