"I'm certain for the first time in history, a different city in a different country has raised the Detroit Lions flag and we're proud here in the City of Windsor to support our brothers and sisters in the city of Detroit. Let's go Detroit Lions," Renaldo Agostino with the City Council of Windsor said.
