The Thanksgiving Day NFL tradition started in 1934 when the Detroit Lions hosted the Chicago Bears at the University of Detroit Stadium. George A.

Philadelphia hosted the inaugural Thanksgiving Day football game in 1869. The Evening Telegraph reported in its November 17 edition of that year that "on Thanksgiving Day at 12 1/2 o'clock, on the grounds of the Germantown Club, a foot-ball contest between twenty-two players of the Young America Cricket Club and the Germantown Cricket Club will take place."

Two weeks prior, on November 6, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in what is regarded as the first-ever football game, Rutgers University defeated Princeton University. Six years after President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the first set national Thanksgiving holiday in 1863, the Young America-Germantown game also took place.

From 1876 until 1881, Princeton University and Yale University engaged in a Thanksgiving game.

The custom expanded as more high schools started competing on Thanksgiving every year. On Thanksgiving in 1887, English High Institution of Boston, the oldest school in the country (founded on April 23, 1635), started performing at Harvard University. It is the rivalry that has lasted the longest on Thanksgiving Day in the nation.

How can you participate in government even if you are not old enough to vote?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The best and easiest way to participate in the government is to stay informed of the political climate as well as the events that are occurring in the political sphere, both within the nation, and outside. You can always participate in governmental activities by informing yourself, creating a viewpoint, and expressing your viewpoints in desired times, as well as to start shaping your outlook for when you are old enough. Information that is correct is key in allowing one to choose the best candidate when you are legally able to vote.
