Tennessee football fans, rejoice. Super Bowl Monday may soon be an official holiday in the Volunteer State.
Football fans in Tennessee may soon be rejoicing, with “Super Bowl Monday” possibly becoming an official holiday in the state.
A bill introduced by state Sen. London Lamar and Rep. Joe Towns Jr. this week would replace the Columbus Day holiday with the day after the big game. “In the upcoming final version of the bill, we won’t be replacing any other holidays,” Rep. Towns said in a “But with more than 16 million Americans expected to skip work the day after the Super Bowl and about 8 million expected to ask for the day off in advance, we’re talking about a major hit to the workforce.
“My bill simply wants to examine giving the rest of us the day off. Let’s face it, it doesn’t get much more American than the Super Bowl and it’s becoming more and more the norm to miss work the next day. So maybe we should just codify it…or at least just talk about it.”More than 110 million people watched last year’s Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, according to Nielsen.
