Turkey Bowl: A History of Thanksgiving Football

  • America House Kyiv 6 Mykoly Pymonenka St Kyiv 04050 Ukraine (map)

Thanksgiving season is almost done, but we’ve got to tell you something: there’s nothing more classic than food, family and football. Thanksgiving always gives us all the above, and if we’ve already touched upon the topics of family traditions, history and food feasts throughout this week, can you name any two things more American than Thanksgiving and football? Neither can we!

Join us together with Semir to learn more about how these two uniquely American things are related. We will talk about the origins of Thanksgiving Day football, learn which cities and teams have become a must on Thanksgiving Day, and talk about the cultural significance of this tradition.

But we save the best for last. Consider this the pumpkin pie of our Thanksgiving schedule – learning is the key, so we’ll have a live trivia for you with prizes in the end! So join us for the last piece of our Thanksgiving puzzle and get a chance to win some cool and unique prizes!

About speaker:
Semir Dzebo has been an avid football enthusiast ever since he bought his first football video game in 2007. He has since tried to promote the sport to others in his own community as well as abroad. When he is not watching football, he is researching political science and international relations at Central European University in Vienna.

We’ll be streaming this session to our Facebook page November 27th. Join us at 7:00 pm and feel free to ask any questions you have.
