Let’s get this out of the way up top: this is a selfish post. But I think that’s okay. I watch the Packers for my benefit, so I want watching the Packers to be as convenient for me as possible. Maybe that’s selfish, but I call it realistic.
That’s why I don’t want the Packers to play on Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. Or, really, any year for that matter.
The calendar’s ongoing movement has Christmas landing on a Thursday this year, joining Thanksgiving on that day of the week for this NFL season. That, no doubt, has the NFL’s schedule makers licking their chops.
