A major positive has come out of an ugly situation this past weekend during a Detroit Lions game at Ford Field.

After a fan surrendered his season tickets and was banned from the stadium after posting a racial slur on social media, a generous Lions fan reached out to the team wanting to purchase those same seats so that he might donate them to community programs that support equality and unity.

The Lions wasted little time to respond to Twitter user SandmanLions request, and the plan sounds like a go on their end as it relates to the transfer of the tickets. Soon, some special folks might be putting those now empty seats to good use.

It's a beautiful gesture for the team to make as well as the fan, and a show that for every bad thing that happens, countless good things go on behind the scenes.
