PHOENIX — Plans to bring an MLS franchise to Detroit might never materialize, but the city could be ripe for another professional sports team.
So says the founder of the Alliance of American Football, at least.
In a Twitter exchange with Detroit-based rapper Eminem on Monday, Charlie Ebersol, a TV producer who founded the AAF, offered up the chance to bring a franchise to the city.
From February: New AAF league has Michigan ties
The exchange started when Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, tagged the AAF in a tweet asking the league to allow players to fight like in hockey.
«I WOULD WATCH EVERY GAME (EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO DETROIT TEAM YET — HINT). DON’T BLOW IT,» Mathers wrote.
