[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1230706, member: 18708"] Most people working these games aren't forced to work. Most are just temporary, on-call employees working for an agency. The few ones who do work and are forced know in advance that Thanksgiving games are part of, and have been part of, the stupidity of American traditions and sports culture, so it goes with the territory. On the other hand, people forced to work at Wal-Mart is a different story. Many people who started working at Wal-Mart or whatever retailer years ago didn't work "black friday" or "Thanksgiving" because the consumerist holiday didn't exist and/or wasn't relevant to retail. Sure, a few chains and stores did open but most of them were again, known to open...it wasn't a big secret. jmo [/QUOTE]
