Lions fans will automatically hate what Ben Johnson said upon his Bears' arrival

   

Ben Johnson is gone, but Lions fans are sure to be bitter about his opening words upon officially becoming the Bears' head coach.

Detroit Lions' loss of Ben Johnson stings because of NFC North rivalry

It's something that was impossible to ignore, even if a segment of Detroit Lions fans wanted to. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was the first domino to fall, leaving to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears, and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn seems to not be very far behind.

Back to Johnson. The Bears announced his hiring on Tuesday, and there will a press conference to make it official on Wednesday morning.

The Bears posted a video of Johnson walking into their Halas Hall headquarters to a standing ovation.

Lions fans will naturally hate everything Ben Johnson had to say upon arriving to the Bears

"Everyone get back to work!" Johnson said, after the ovation. "Listen, thank you so much. My family and I, we are beyond excited. This is exactly where we wanted to be. It's exactly where we wanted to be. This is going to be a challenge; I am well aware of that. I know what this division is about, and this is exactly where we want to be."

"We're going to go after this thing, and it's going to take all of us in this room. It's going to take this locker room; it's nothing more important than that locker room, and us serving that locker room and those players. They need to understand that, they need to feel that from us every single day. And if we do that, the wins are going to come (and) the playoffs are going to come. All right? Can't wait to get to know you guys, and thank you so much for the warm welcome."

The Bears then posted a selfie-video Johnson did.

"Alright Bears Nation. Get ready to go. Beyond fired up to be here. This is exciting times. Cannot wait to get to work. Bear Down baby."

That sound you just heard is a section of hurt Lions' fans collectively vomiting. It's one thing for Johnson to leave for a head coaching job, which was inevitable if he wanted it. That he left for a division rival adds a layer of hatred to it (largely directed at him) for many. His initial words upon arriving to the Bears will only further fuel that disdain toward Johnson.
