They Should Make The Day After The Super Bowl a Holiday? By Todd Levinson Frank - Feb 1, 2014 at 5:21 am
Feb 3, 2013; New Orleans, LA.Baltimore Ravens general manger Ozzie Newsome celebrates with the Vince Lombardi Trophy after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Matthew Emmons-USA It’s so obvious, I’m glad I thought of it. I need to figure out a way to make money off this idea, but I’d settle for just getting the day off. Here’s the deal: they have Washington’s Birthday or I guess now they sorta combined him with Lincoln or something and made it “Presidents Day.” Third Monday in February I think it is. And the Super Bowl that used to be played in late January, now increasingly falls out on the first few days of February. Not a huge deal, but that puts it too far away to combine with Martin Luther King Day, and the game has become a “February” event in our minds. “January football” now means Playoffs and “if you wanna be playing in February” is now a direct reference to making it to the Super Bowl. So, you see where I’m going with this, right? Presidents Day is kinda pointless anyway. It’s just some random Monday off. It’s not like we plan family visits or anything. And it usually isn’t really on Washington’s actual birthday, so why not move it back couple weeks and make it the first Monday in February? Like it matters. Jesus wasn’t born on December 25. But wait…. that’s not all. I’m not proposing the day after Super Bowl be Presidents Day just for the partying factor and being able to stay up late for the game (hey, a new generation of kids/fans/consumers need to be raised, how can they watch the big game if they have school in the morning?). And it’s not to avoid calling in sick, AKA hungover. This is actually an economic stimulus package that I implore President Obama, enthusiastic sports fan that he is, to embrace and pursue. Presidents Day is usually filled with ridiculous sales on cars and mattresses (two items that are ALWAYS on sale). They drum up these silly commercials with cartoons of Lincoln and Washington to tell us to shop for stuff. Why? Most of us just do laundry that day and wonder what might be open or closed, since it’s not really a holiday but it is. So no one shops. Wasted holiday. So, once you move it to the day after the Super Bowl, Presidents Day will be right after the day/night famous for not just football, but for the fact that 10’s of millions of Americans of all demographics gather around their TV’s to WATCH THE COMMERCIALS. Personally I’m all about the game. But a LOT of people come right out and say they are “excited” for the “commercials.” What an opportunity! Wouldn’t it be awesome if, the day after the Super Bowl, hordes of Americans were off work and school, and heading out to buy the cars and colas and countless other crappy items they saw advertised the night before! This makes too much sense. And while it might not happen, I think it’s more likely than the NFL moving the game to Saturday. But, until then, just keep callin’ in sick. http://nflspinzone.com/2014/01/30/they-should-make-the-day-after-the-super-bowl-a-holiday/
The simple solution is to go to "Super Bowl Saturday", but that's too easy and makes too much sense.Raise the minimum wage. Put poor people in a higher tax bracket.Make hybrids affordable to people actually need to save money.Reserve American jobs for Americans."Common" sense isn't.

LOL
It's wonderful how obama "saved" gm by making a plant in mexico.And I understand the cost of hybrids. New tech costs more to make, the refining process will make it cheaper eventually.And american jobs should be reserved for american workers. I'm all for people from other countries wanting ro BE an american, but against foreigners just trying to make a buc and send it "home."

The latest thing is people send their little children across the border alone. I am talking small children, like 5-6 years old. Whats the border patrol to do? Send them back?

LOL @ raising the minimum wage. Shows a complete lack of understanding of economics.If it's such a good idea, why not raise it to $10,000 an hour, then we'd all be rich, right?
Super Bowl Saturday is the move and I am surprised it hasn't been already.The political stuff is for another day/board.

Mini wage jobs are supposed to be entry level jobs. Not something you make a career out of.

Agree, but as someone mentioned, makes too much sense.
The reason it's on a Sunday is that is the day the most people will watch the game. Casual as well as hardcore. The game will eventually be played on President's Day weekend making the answer to the question in the OP...it already is.
It is or me...I took the day off...lol.

IDK man, I would think Saturday night would pull some pretty impressive numbers.

You may be right, These Sunday games pull something like 100mil. It would be tough to equal that, no matter what time slot.
In a word, No.
