Why should the Detroit Lions play on Thanksgiving?
In the world without tradition, the Detroit Lions playing on Thanksgiving is one of the best traditions in all of sports. For almost seven decades the Detroit Lions have been playing football on Thanksgiving. For years the Lions have entertained America with some very exciting games and electrifing play. Recently many people have asked that the NFL take the Detroit Lions off of Thanksgiving day game.
How short a memory does the American public have?
If they want the Lions removed from Thanksgiving - then the public needs to give back all those memories of Barry Sanders slashing through defenses or memories of having Thanksgiving dinner and watching Lions football. Even though the Lions have been poor that last few years, they always seem competitive on Thanksgiving day.
Now lets get to the real reason why this game needs to remain on Thanksgiving. This game means everything to the community of Detroit. This game raises awareness of homeless problems in the Detroit area and does a tremendous amount of good for the area. Lets face it, this part of the country has been struck particularily hard by the economic downturn and this game gives a break from the real world for a community that needs it.
