Those of us who are football fans have always complained about the game being played on Sunday well, not so much on Sunday but wanting to make the next day, Monday, a national holiday! A big reason is stats show businesses lose a lot of money over thousands of employees calling in "sick" day after the big game! Well DUH! We are up late watching the game enjoying vast amounts of food and various beverages. Plus, throw in the massive depression if the team you were rooting for lost! Who'd want to go to work the next day?
Well now, a New York teen's petition to move the Super Bowl to Saturday is going viral. Will this be successful?
Over 30-thousand people have signed the Change-dot-org petition that Frank Ruggeri [[ ROO-jerry >> started. The 16-year-old suggested the idea to his parents.
Sundays became the traditional day for professional football after Congress passed a law in 1961, protecting college and high school games from being overshadowed.Wow, it's on the books? You learn something everyday huh?
Is it time to move the SUPER BOWL to a Saturday though? Playoffs are played on Saturday's not to mention Monday night and Thursday night games. Hmm. Maybe it is time for a change? ~grace
