Games are an important part of any festivity and celebration. People are still young at hearts and cannot do away with games on any party. It is no more for only children, it is for all. Thanksgiving Day Football was once a tradition among the high schools and colleges of America; and it is still alive in the National Football League in two franchisee cities, Detroit and Dallas, where Thanksgiving Day Football has become a normal, expected way of life. Beginning in 1966, Dallas has missed playing on the holiday only in 1975 and 1977 when the then, St. Louis Cardinals hosted.
The Detroit Lions of the American National Football League have hosted a game every Thanksgiving Day since 1934, with the exception of 1939-1944 (due to World War II). The Dallas Cowboys have hosted every Thanksgiving Day since 1966. The Kansas City Chiefs hosted games during their days in the American Football League, and will revive that tradition in 2006 when they host the Denver Broncos on Thanksgiving. Moreover, many colleges and high schools also organize Turkey Day Football games over Thanksgiving weekend, often between regional or historic rivals.
Dgreetings.com offers you a brief summary of the Thanksgiving Day Football. If you are football frenzy and want to stay back at home, watch the game this Thanksgiving while eating your turkey.
