As much as celebrations are supposed to be non-discriminating, on a deeper level, it does discriminate. Not all can afford to celebrate during festivities, and this is where people with kind hearts jump in. New Orleans Saints players Alvin Kamara and Cameron Jordan are two such gentlemen.

Thanksgiving season in NFL continues; Tyrann Mathieu hands out turkeys to families in need

Kansas City Chiefs safety, Tyrann Mathieu, handed out turkeys to families in need on Monday, hoping to help as many people in his neighbourhood as possible. It’s a holiday ritual he’s been doing since before he joined the club. In 2019, he held his first Thanksgiving celebration in Kansas City.

Food insecurity is a rising problem in the Kansas area. While there is still a lot of work to be done to address the underlying systemic issues that create it, the KC Chiefs player’s contribution is a step in the right direction. His donation of roughly 500 birds helped many people who may otherwise have gone hungry this Thanksgiving.
