The coach of Detroit's Lions, Dan Campbell, is offloading his residence due to issues surrounding safety.
Campbell shared with Crain's Detroit Business on Wednesday that he and his family enjoyed the house but opted to relocate after their residence became public knowledge following their team's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
"The property has plenty of space, it's on two acres, and the home is stunning," Campbell explained to the publication. "However, once we suffered that defeat, people learned our address."
CNN reached out to the Lions for comment, who instead referred back to Campbell's statements to Crain's Detroit Business.
Real estate agent Ashley Crain, who is handling Campbell's house sale, confirmed to CNN Sport that Campbell submitted a police report after his address was disclosed following the Lions' 20-19 defeat to the Cowboys last season. She revealed that Campbell and his family faced pranks and harassment as a result.
Crain informed CNN that the Campbells have already relocated to a new residence; the property had a listing price of $4.5 million and was reportedly under contract within a day.
"Dan and Holly Campbell are Detroit icons," Crain praised CNN. "We were thrilled to assist their family during this difficult time. Now, he can concentrate on his strengths!"
The Bloomfield Township Police Department (BTPD) didn't mention Campbell but stated in a statement to CNN: "We became aware of these incidents as they occurred. The (BTPD) is dedicated to ensuring the safety of all our residents. Harassment in any form will not be tolerated."
The police statement further emphasized, "We hope that everyone, including fans, will respect the privacy of individuals and their families."
Campbell joined the Lions in 2021. Despite a mediocre start, he has significantly contributed to transforming Detroit into one of the elite teams in the NFL.
The Lions came within a hair's breadth of reaching the NFC Championship game last season, ultimately falling to the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31. As a consequence, they missed out on the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance.
Despite the disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Campbells' home became public knowledge, making them targets for pranks and harassment. The Campbells, who are Detroit icons, decided to relocate due to the incidents related to their new residence being a sports enthusiast's dream, equipped with plenty of space, located on two acres, and boasting a stunning design.
