Apparently Detroit football fans are so outraged and embarrassed that the NFL is planning to have Nickelback perform at their Thanksgiving game halftime show this year that they've created a petition to keep them out of Lions territory!
Detroit wants to disinvite Nickelback from its Thanksgiving game - Shutdown Corner - NFL
They also haven't been having much luck with NHL fans either:

This game is nationally televised, do we really want the rest of the US to associate Detroit with Nickelback? Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?!?!?! Does anyone even like Nickelback? Is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions? This is completely unfair to those of us who purchased tickets to the game. At least the people watching at home can mute their TVs. The Lions ought to think about their fans before choosing such an awful band to play at halftime.

As people who love music and love Winnipeg even more, we have a request: Please ensure this does not happen. The return of the NHL to Winnipeg is something we have been dreaming about for 15 years. Please do not sully the celebration with the presence of a band whose existence is antithetical to the very concept of celebration.
Poor Nickelback... they can't be THAT bad (or can they?)
