Earlier this month, we reported that a group of Detroit Lions fans had started a petition to have Nickelback replaced as the halftime act for their Thanksgiving Day game against arch rivals the Green Bay Packers.
Now, Nickelback have posted a response video to the Detroit Lions fans and it's... well, actually kind of funny.
