Thanksgiving Day Tradition
The Detroit Lions have been playing in one of the Thanksgiving Day Classic games since the early 1900’s. Detroit has had some success in these games throughout their existence, but lately Thanksgiving Day has been a day of losing for the Lions. The Lions haven’t won a game on Thanksgiving since they defeated the Green Bay Packers in 2003. The Dallas Cowboys are another team that plays every Thanksgiving Day, but is it time for other teams to get a chance to play or should these teams continue this tradition? I know that the NFL has added a third game to the football lineup on Thanksgiving, but with the Lions being as bad as they have been over the years do they deserve to play in this national game every year?

I honestly feel as if a team wishes to play on a holiday where more people will be watching than just on an ordinary day they should at least be decent. Even though this would change the tradition, sometimes things have to give when certain standards are not being met. Sometimes change is good and it will allow other teams a chance to play and get the recognition for playing on such a holiday.
