How is Thanksgiving a celebration of triumph over the English?! What the hell? lol

[alaamakke]

What the fuck happens to Jimmy's voice from 3:08 onwards?!!!!!!!!!!!!????

@knut761 - Well the English/British thing is irrelevant. Beckham is both English and British and the U.S. had a war with Britain not just England. My point is that thanksgiving is a harvest festival. We still have them in the U.K. where we go to church but also collect food for the poor. My point is simply that Jimmy Kimmel doesn't know what thanksgiving is.

@RelaxItsJustAFlare I don't think he really had an impact on soccer in the U.S. The popularity of said sport in the country hasn't expanded one bit since he arrived. Soccer just isn't as popular to Americans as football or baseball. Beckham has gotten too much publicity which is quite unfair because there are lots of more talented players than him like Zidane or Ronaldinho who haven't been given as much attention. Note, France and Brazil have recently won the world cup while England hasn't.

@mavmach3 he went to the US because of his wife and kids. Instead of being a dick about it he thought OK I can really do something here for football rather than just fade away collecting a wage. He is a modern day Stanley Matthews, devoting his life to the sport, spreading it to the world just to see the emotions in people's eyes that only football can produce. He was not born with natural talent but earned it through years of hard work and practice, like any truly great sportsman.

its amazing how humble beckham has stayed despite being probably the most recognizable athlete in the world and one of the most adored...pretty admirable

[WillShakespeare2007]

@drumtilludrop610 - The present holiday in the U.S., stems from the pilgrims, although there'd been earlier harvest festival celebration in the U.S., and they would no doubt have also been grateful to what they saw as their God providing a successful journey & harvest. However the celebration itself is just a harvest festival celebration which they'd have celebrated in the U.K. - we still do but we collect food and give it to the poor not have a big meal like the states. It's originally pagan.

@WillShakespeare2007 even in this, as americans of different religious backgrounds, we can all celebrate what we are thankful for . . . after all we dont celebrate what the pilgrims were thankful for haha.

[drumtilludrop610]

@WillShakespeare2007 notice I said they were "celebrating their prosperity." One of the principle reasons the pilgrims left England was because they were not free to worship as they wished. I dont think he is mixing it up with July 4th but I dont think he truly understands thanksgiving either. In celebrating their prosperity I think it is safe to say they thanked God for more than just food. I think safety and success in their undertaking was probably high up on the list too

[drumtilludrop610]

@WillShakespeare2007 I was remarking on what the Pilgrims were most definitely grateful for, namely, they survived and completed their objective and were living prosperously. So in a sense you are right, but I think that survival and success are essential to prosperity right? Thanksgiving in itself is not a specifically religious holiday, but I think for the pilgrims a key component of what constituted their thanks included a religious aspect.
