PHOENIX — Last week a couple of lawmakers in Tennessee proposed a bill to make the Monday after the Super Bowl a state holiday.
The theory is that the Super Bowl is already an unofficial American holiday. Since people like to spend holidays with family and friends (sometimes requiring travel), why not make it a long weekend like Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July? And specifically to the Super Bowl, many watch the game at a party and tend to overindulge.
So why not have the state of Tennessee acknowledge the above with a travel/recovery day?
