Re: Thanksgiving Traditions
I dont know about Dallas but I saw on the History Channel's History of Thanksgiving show that the Lions started playing on Thanksgiving as a way of increasing their exposure and to help make pro football more popular because college ball was the football of choice for most folks back in the day.

The game wasnt given as a reward, it was begun for the survival of the franchise.
