A decades-old tradition in Northeast Philadelphia has come to an end, as Father Judge and Lincoln High will no longer play the annual Turkey Bowl football game.
A decades-old tradition in Northeast Philadelphia has come to an end.According to a letter released from both Father Judge High School and Abraham Lincoln High School, after more than 40 years, they reached a joint agreement to cease playing their annual Thanksgiving Day football game.The letter says the decision was not taken lightly and considered for the past few years.
"It was really sad, I saw that the release come out and the top reason was security and it’s unfortunately, you know, it’s a sign of the times," says Terrence Graf, who spoke to FOX 29 from Faderz Barbershop, across from Lincoln High School."A lot of public gatherings people feel unsafe and people don’t want to go to them anymore," he says.
