So, potentially another drinking holiday could outcompete it, right?
Groundhog Day ADVANCE!!!
Or in a world with an even more beloved FDR we make his birthday a holiday.
But then the problem is that we know that football has a way of insinuating itself into other holidays, anyway. It could still be the biggest game of the year, but also just one part of a larger separation.
Honestly an observed holiday on that Monday would be fantastic for everyone. Even non-fans don’t like the idea of commuting with a hundred million hungover wretches. I bet that produces it’s own, smaller emergency room bump.
