About this listen

 Football and Thanksgivings go together like fireworks and the 4th of July. Jenna wanted to learn more about how this tradition began. This week hear from football historian, Jeremy Swick (@theaveragehistorian) to learn when the first NFL game on Thanksgiving happened, why the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys will always be apart of the day, and how the tradition actually started from Ivy League college football.
