Over 100 million people watch the Super Bowl each year. Of that number, it is estimated that 6% call in sick to work the next day.
Moving the Presidents Day holiday to the Monday following the Super Bowl will benefit the country in the following ways:
1. Better work productivity by not having so many people skip work
2. Increase sales for restaurants, bars, grocery stores
3. Decrease DWI convictions and accidents by not having to drive home during game
4. Increase patriotism by celebrating with friends
