Detroit Lions Don't Celebrate Thanksgiving for Obvious Reasons
The Detroit Lions have been playing on Thanksgiving for decades, and the reason for this has finally surfaced: The Lions don't celebrate Thanksgiving because they have nothing to be thankful for. One of the few teams to never play in the superbowl, the Lions celebrate other holiday such as Martin Luther Day King, Valentines Day, and July 4th. The Lions always observe these holidays and never play a game on these days.
The Detroit Lions will be facing the Green Bay packers this Thursday. Tickets will only be one dollar, ironic because you can get 4 quarters out of the dollars, but not the Lions. With so many people traveling hundreds of miles to visit their families this holiday season, the Lions are just hoping to go 10 yards.
Other sports teams and athletes that have nothing to be thankful for this year include:
1. The 1994 World Series Champion
2. Fantasy owners facing Brady Quinn last week
3. The New Jersey Nets
