Detroit Demolition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Detroit Demolition are a women's semi-professional American football team based in the Detroit area. They joined the National Women's Football Association (NWFA) in 2002 as the Detroit Danger, winning a league championship. Their only loss that year was in the regular season to the Cleveland Fusion by a score of 14-3.
After an ownership change, and a name change to the Detroit Demolition, the team won three more league titles, going undefeated in each of those three seasons and accumulating 42 consecutive wins. The Demolition sought membership into the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL) in 2006. It was subsequently accepted in the league. In 2005, the team played a special Mother's Day game at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions. The Demolition is the second IWFL team in Detroit, the other being the Detroit Predators. The Demolition played at Detroit Redford High School and Livonia Churchill High in 2006. Detroit was upset in the 2006 IWFL Championship Game by the Atlanta Xplosion by a score of 21-14. It was only the Demolition's second loss in the franchise's five-year history.
The Detroit Demolition returned to the IWFL for the 2007 season and had to look deep inside themselves to find the hearts of champions to pull out a victory in the Independent Women’s Football League (IWFL) Championship Game Saturday, August 11, 2007 in Atlanta. And that is exactly what they did, with the leadership of their captains they found that extra something to pull out a hard-fought 17-7 victory over the Xplosion in the intense record breaking heat of Atlanta. The Detroit Demolition has compiled a record of 65-3.
The team is now owned and operated by R & R Sports Entertainment, LLC based in Novi, Michigan. Corporate sponsors are invited to contact the Detroit Demolition for advertising opportunities.
