After all, why shouldn’t Americans be forced to watch these ass teams?

History
We’re grateful we have football. Even if it’s shit teams.
Tradition
Packers couldn’t even beat Dallas so 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Facts
I know this, cause the original Lions owner also owned some radio stations and saw an opportunity to promote his team in the 1930s and the cowboys because they volunteered to be the 2nd game in the late 1960s and the NFL saw the ratings they brought in
Who is complaining about watching the lions these days?
If these teams are ass then what on planet earth are the Raiders and the Jets?
There was a time when teams and their owners didn’t actually want to play on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys and Lions were the only 2 teams that volunteered so they kept being tasked with playing on Thanksgiving, these creating a tradition.
Very different from teams like the Jets and Chiefs volunteering to be a Black Friday tradition when most teams nowadays would sign up for that.
We invented the Thanksgiving game. It’s ours
We’ve been playing on thanksgiving for over 90 years. There’d be riots in Detroit if we stopped
I think it was their idea actually lol. Maybe I’m wrong but I remember watching an NFL throwback video about it
My wife in the middle of prepping this week: “Fucking patriarchy putting football games on Thanksgiving so that men disappear for all the hard work”
Me: yes, and this year they have some pretty good games
Apparently, the OP hasnt watched football in 4 years

What a stupid post.
☹️
I like the tradition myself.
I think they paid for it
Tradition
Most Thanksgivings: You’ll get the Bears and you’ll like it!
