Should the Monday after the Super Bowl be a national holiday?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — Eagles fans probably want to sleep in Monday after celebrating their team’s domination in Super Bowl LIX. And Chiefs fans probably want to stay in bed and pretend like it never happened.

For years, fans of the National Football League have called for the day after the Super Bowl — or the Super Bowl itself — to be considered a national holiday.

From all-day parties to late-night postgame coverage to the ups and downs of a rivalry rematch, workers often find themselves calling out of work proactively or the following day due to exhaustion, excitement, and maybe some “brain fog.”

According to a Talk Research survey in partnership with Coors Light, more than half of all football fans, approximately 55%, wish that the Monday after the Super Bowl was considered a national holiday.

The survey, which consisted of data from about 3,000 people over the age of 21, said that “more than two in five people agree that the Monday after game day is one of the top three most despised Mondays of the year.”

While the day after the big game can be especially hard, the survey also found that people have “a case of the Mondays” at least once a month. Respondents said Mondays, in general, make them feel drained, easily agitated, and to summarize, downright depressed.

These beliefs extend into the Kansas City metro, as well.

Exactly one week before the post-Super Bowl Monday blues rolled in, affiliate WDAF shared a poll asking viewers if they believe the day after the big game should be a national holiday.

The results, which were comprised of votes from about 500 viewers, showed that 69% of Kansas Citians felt the day should be written off on calendars, just as any other holiday.

These findings indicate there is a real desire — and a whole lot of tired football fans — who want to be able to celebrate game day without the pressures of a blaring alarm or a morning meeting.

But alas, there have been no strides and no measures taken to actually get “Super Bowl Sunday” (or Monday) placed on U.S. calendars.
