He aha i takaro tonu ai ngā Dallas Cowboys me ngā Detroit Lions i te Thanksgiving?

Mai i te wā e maumahara ana te nuinga o tātou, kua takaro ngā Dallas Cowboys me ngā Detroit Lions i ngā kēmu i te Rā Whakawhetai. Engari he aha ai?

Me tīmata tātou ki ngā Lions. Kua takaro rātou i ngā Thanksgiving katoa mai i te tau 1934, haunga ngā tau 1939-44, ahakoa te mea kāore rātou i te tīma pai i te nuinga o aua tau. I takaro ngā Lions i tā rātou wā tuatahi ki Detroit i te tau 1934 (i mua i tērā, ko rātou ngā Portsmouth Spartans). I raru rātou i tā rātou tau tuatahi ki Detroit, nā te mea he nui ngā kaiwhaiwhai hākinakina i reira i aroha ki ngā Detroit Tigers o te pēihipora, ā, kāore i tae mai ki te mātakitaki i ngā Lions. Nō reira, i whai whakaaro te rangatira o ngā Lions, a George A. Richards: He aha e kore ai e takaro i te Thanksgiving?

I a Richards anō te rangatira o te teihana reo irirangi WJR, tētahi o ngā teihana nui rawa atu o te motu i taua wā. He nui te mana o Richards i roto i te ao pāpāho, ā, i whakatenatena ia i a NBC kia whakaatu i te kēmu puta noa i te motu. I tae mai te toa NFL a Chicago Bears ki te tāone, ā, i hokona katoatia e ngā Lions te papa o te Whare Wānanga o Detroit e 26,000 ngā nohoanga mō te wā tuatahi. I mau tonu a Richards i te tikanga mō ngā tau e rua i muri mai, ā, i whakaritea tonutia e te NFL rātou i te Thanksgiving i te wā i tīmata anō ai rātou ki te tākaro i taua rā i muri i te mutunga o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. I hokona e Richards te tīma i te tau 1940, ā, i mate i te tau 1951, engari ko te tikanga i tīmatahia e ia kei te haere tonu i ēnei rā ina tākaro ngā Lions … ki ngā Chicago Bears.

I te tau 1966 i tākaro tuatahi ai ngā Cowboys i te Thanksgiving. I uru mai rātou ki te rīki i te tau 1960, ā, ahakoa te uaua ki te whakapono i nāianei, i uaua ki te kukume i ngā kaiwhaiwhai nā te mea he tino kino rawa atu rātou i aua tau tuatahi. I tono te kaiwhakahaere matua a Tex Schramm ki te NFL kia whakaritea he kēmu Thanksgiving mō rātou i te tau 1966, me te whakaaro ka piki ake tō rātou rongonui i Dallas me te motu whānui hoki nā te mea ka whakaatahia te kēmu i te pouaka whakaata.

I angitu. I hokona he tīkiti 80,259, he rekoata nō Dallas, i te wā i hinga ai ngā Cowboys i ngā Cleveland Browns, 26-14. E tohu ana ētahi o ngā pā o Cowboys ki taua kēmu hei tīmatanga mō te hurihanga o Dallas hei "tīma o Amerika." Ko te tau 1975 me te tau 1977 anake i ngaro ai rātou i te tākaro i te Thanksgiving, i te wā i whiriwhiri ai te Komihana NFL a Pete Rozelle ki ngā St. Louis Cardinals.

I kitea te hinganga o ngā kēmu ki ngā Cardinals i roto i ngā whakatauranga, nō reira i pātai atu a Rozelle ki ngā Cowboys mēnā ka tākaro anō rātou i te tau 1978.

"He mea koretake i St. Louis," te kōrero a Schramm ki te Chicago Tribune i te tau 1998. "I pātai mai a Pete mēnā ka tangohia e mātou. I mea atu ahau mēnā ka riro mai i a mātou mō ake tonu atu. He mea tēnei me hanga hei tikanga tuku iho. I mea ia, 'Nōu ake tonu atu.'"

I te paunga o te wā, ka oma a Nate Bain ki raro i te kooti, ​​ā, ka whiwhi piro i tētahi whiunga i te pō o te Tūrei hei hoatu i te wikitoria whakamiharo ki a Stephen F. Austin i runga i te kaute tāpiri 85-83, ā, ka mutu te wikitoria kāinga 150-kēmu a ngā Blue Devils ki ngā hoa whawhai kāore i te whakataetae.

I uiuitia a Bain, he tauira o te kapa nō Bahamas, i runga i te papa tākaro, ā, i puritia e ia ōna roimata i te wā i kōrero ai ia mō te uaua o te tau. I whakangaromia te kāinga i noho ai tōna whānau e te Āwhiowhio Dorian i tēnei tau.

"He nui ngā mea i ngaro i tōku whānau i tēnei tau," te kī a Bain me te ngākau aroha. "Kāore au e tangi i runga i te pouaka whakaata."

I te marama o Hepetema, i whakatūria e ngā āpiha o Stephen F. Austin tētahi whārangi GoFundMe kua whakaaetia e te NCAA mā Bain. I tīmata ngā ākonga o Stephen F. Austin ki te tohatoha i taua whārangi ki ngā pāpāho pāpori i muri i te wikitoria, ā, i te tīmatanga o te Wenerei i te ahiahi, kua kohia e rātou neke atu i te $69,000, he nui ake i te whāinga $50,000. E ai ki ētahi o ngā kōrero, ko ētahi o ngā kaitāko he pā o Duke.
