The Detroit Lions Do Not Deserve to Play on Thanksgiving

 

I remember when the late Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt suggested the Lions should lose the game — this was around 20 years ago — and I thought he was a total jerk. (Anytime someone messes with the Detroit teams, some of us young fans get defensive. Then we get older, continue to see the losing and ineptness, and decide to let the process play out ...) 

Now, I see that he must have been a visionary ... The Lions should lose the game. No questions asked. Give it to a team (an owner) who cares! Plus, the NFL added the third (a night game!) on Thanksgiving to honor Hunt — the first one was held at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Many would call Hunt a visionary. I would, today, agree.
