David Montgomery stole the spotlight during a Thanksgiving celebration with the Detroit Lions after their victory over the Chicago Bears. The Lions’ impressive win improved their record to 11-1, marking ten consecutive victories.
As the team came together to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving turkey feast, Montgomery was observed opting for a carrot instead of indulging in the turkey legs his teammates enjoyed following their hard-fought win against his former squad. This amusing moment caught the attention of fans, with a video circulating on social media showcasing his choice.
It has been pointed out that Montgomery has been committed to a vegan lifestyle since 2020, which explains his decision. Reactions from fans varied from humor to frustration, especially among those who had hoped for better performance during the game, such as scoring touchdowns that could affect betting outcomes.
Comments on social media reflected a mix of laughter and disappointment; many appreciated Montgomery’s commitment to his dietary choices, while others voiced frustration over their betting losses. One fan humorously lamented, “He doesn’t deserve any chicken, no touchdown??? Seriously dude it’s Thanksgiving.”
Despite the lighthearted nature of the situation, it emphasizes the interesting intersection of sports, personal choices, and fan culture. Montgomery’s plant-based diet showcases a growing trend in the sports world where athletes are prioritizing health in their own unique ways.
In the end, Montgomery’s quirky choice serves as a reminder that everyone has their own way of celebrating holidays, whether it’s with a traditional meal or not. As the Lions continue their strong season, fans can look forward to more memorable moments both on and off the field.
