Keep it. Watching the Lions play for pride (and nothing else) on Thanksgiving is as American as Apple Pie

Should the Lions keep their Thanksgiving Day game?

They should just serve up the Lions to the Cowboys this Thanksgiving. I don't know why anyone would watch the Lions. Who cares?
I am NOT a fan of the NFL, so I don't know if my vote counts here. But I DID watch today's Detroit game and pondered this question with an open mind and viewed it as if it were an MLB tradition.
KEEP IT IN DETRIOT EVERY THANKSGIVING!

Did you see all the empty seats at the Lions game?? This franchise has become an embarrassment for the NFL and shouldn't be getting a national showcase like the Thanksgiving Day game. I'm still wondering if I had more turkey on my plate or my tv screen today??
ps. The second game sucked too. Lets try getting some compelling matchups for T-Day.

IF the Lions are forced to leave Thanksgiving day then the Cowboys should also be forced to leave.
Since the Lions 6-2 start last year they are 1-18
Believe it or not, the Chiefs are also 1-18 in their last 19 games.
How K.C. managed to beat Denver- I'll never understand.
So they are equals .... maybe they should play in one of those "Before the New Year" Bowls

Dump them , They Suck! The only reason people watch it is to see the opposite team beat the crap out of the Lions., Every Year!
I think the better question is : What have the Lions done to deserve having a franchise in Detroit? I cannot remember them ever being a significant threat to win anything.
Detroiter's deserve a franchise, preferably one that isn't owned by the Ford's. We have been loyal, win or lose (mostly lose). It's not our fault the ownership can't run a automobile co., let alone a football franchise. The NFL should step in and right this sinking ship. Yesterday's game was the TITAN's vs. THE TITANIC.
You will see much better football this Today and tomorrow at Ford Field: Michigan High School Championship games!
Didn't we discuss this before? Let me repeat what I said the first time -
We invented this tradition! Don't want to watch the Lions? Change the channel. Oh yeah, those other match-ups were really exciting too.
