Kelly Stafford Slams ‘Dictatorship’ Called Michigan

Tells us how you really feel. Kelly Stafford, the wife of Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford, called Michigan a “dictatorship” during a social media rant about the state’s new COVID-19 restrictions.

“I’m over living in a dictatorship that we call Michigan,” Kelly Stafford said in an Instagram story. “I understand there’s a pandemic, and I understand it’s very scary. I’m scared of it too. If you are in risk, do not leave your house until there’s a vaccine. But shutting down all these small businesses — things that people have worked their life for — shutting them down again is not the answer, because they will not make it.”

Her comments come on the second day of Michigan’s three-week COVID-19 “pause,” which banned indoor dining at restaurants, shut down in-person classes for college and high school students and, perhaps most relevant for the Stafford family, banned all attendance for sporting events.

The Lions had been allowing 500 friends and family members attend games at Ford Field, but when asked about that during Sunday’s announcement of the new restrictions, Robert Gordon, director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, shut it down.

“No attendance means no attendance,” Gordon said.

Why does Kelly think her voice needs to be heard. Doesn’t she realize what the hell is happening in the midwest right now. This pandemic will never end unless we take the necessary measures now.
