Thanksgiving is for watching NFL football and eating turkey, a traditional pairing that the NBC broadcast of Sunday Night Football chooses to promote like this:
Turkey slaughterhouse promos during ‘Sunday Night Football’ are the best and most bizarre Thanksgiving tradition

“Rough week for that group.” — Al Michaels
People agree this is an odd promotional choice ...
The thing is ... this isn’t the first time Sunday Night Football has done this. In 2014, they had a cart of turkeys en route to their presumed demise while Al Michael’s gleefully said, “Say goodnight, guys!” We blogged about it!
So, a few questions:
- Why?
- Did this happen from 2015-2018 too, or is it being revived? Please leave video evidence in the comments if you find it, I have not been able to.
- Again ... why!
Anyway, somehow this is not our country’s weirdest turkey-related Thanksgiving tradition. That is giving turkeys a fancy hotel room the day before the president invites them to the White House to say, “I’m not going to kill you.”
