Super Bowl: American Tradition, American... Holiday?

[Jase]

What about all of the people who have to work during the super bowl? That should be the real federal holiday, right?

But who would bring me my pizza? :(

Nfl should just change the time IMO. Friday night, Saturday anytime or earlier on Sunday. All of those are better for most of working America.

I guess you' right, with the national days i must be around 45 / year

I'm honestly a bit jealous sometimes. Multi-faceted discussion, but Europe seems to have a better angle on the work/life balance thing than the US.

It will never get moved to Saturday and it will never be a holiday the dat after. Sorry, drunks.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I don't have a job, go to school or anything or have any kind of life at all. Suckers

[JawnyBlaze]

Hell yea, you guys' Sunday is my Monday, so I'll be at work :(

Yeah see the problem with "National Hollidays" is Govt employees and bank tellers are the only people that actually get them off. I always work the various holidays and I can't imagine the burden of having your kids out of school and an employer that expects you to show up.

On the subject of parties. I always have the family over and I always regret it. I just want to enjoy the last football game of the season.

Just change the game to Saturday night so everyone isn't completely fuged Monday morning

[Jump Zone]

Add two regular season games and adjust the schedule so the Monday after the Super Bowl is President's Day...

I think the dirty little secret is the NFL wants you to go to work on Monday. They want you having water cooler conversations about commercials and calling sports radio to brag about all the money you made. If everyone sits at home it becomes a social media phenomena but loses that traditional "talk to your coworkers" moment the next day.

[Kettle]

the water cooler conversations have been replaced by the idiotic facebook.

most of the rest of the world have a better angle on it.

On a side note, why is ESPN calling it the National Football League Championship rather than the Super Bowl?

For the same reason most students write four words when two will do to meet their word count. ESPN often does not have anything important to say so they have to fill the air with something.

I still think the NFL is staged....
