ESTABLISH THE MONDAY FOLLOWING THE SUPER BOWL AS A FEDERALLY-OBSERVED NATIONAL HOLIDAY

Created by R.M. on January 29, 2014

Dear Mr. President:

As an American human, you surely require no explanation of the logic behind this petition.

Here goes anyway: aren't you tired of doing things that make half of Americans really happy, and half really mad? Try this one on for size: giving us all another day off, to celebrate (and recover from) something we all enjoy.

If you need statistics, here goes: We're certain that lots of prestigious Internet-based think tanks have probably done numerous studies that likely indicate a spike in workplace absences and loss of ROI the day after the Super Bowl. Further, we have personally experienced flu-like symptoms typically lasting the length of an average work day on this particular day each year.

Healthcare, schmealthcare. The time is now, Mr. President: Make your legacy!
