The Super Bowl as a National Holiday?



An idea I am sure many readers can get behind.

    If the Super Bowl were a national holiday, there wouldn't be any question about just what is being celebrated. Football. Which is already the national sport. The new holiday would come complete with rituals, ceremonies and food. On Thanksgiving, Americans in the millions eat things they rarely eat any other time of year and probably don't like that much, anyway--roast turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with marshmallows. But on the day of the Super Bowl, Americans eat what they most like to eat and much more of it, gluttony being permissible on a holiday.
Be sure to write your congressional representative.
