It's an undisputed fact that the Super Bowl brings people together across the United States. Each year, millions of Americans join together to watch the biggest football game of the season. Nielsen, a leading global measurement and data analytics company, reported that the Super Bowl LIII in 2019 was watched by 98.2 million people. It's an iconic, cultural event, followed by exuberant celebrations or commiserations, inevitably leading to a slower start to Monday than usual.

This petition proposes to establish a national holiday on the Monday immediately following Super Bowl Sunday.

Such a move would respond to the realities of post-Super Bowl Monday. It would protect productivity lost to absenteeism, estimated to cost employers around $3 billion, according to a 2018 study by the Workforce Institute at Kronos. Recognizing the cultural significance of Super Bowl Sunday and its impact on the national workforce is a step towards reflecting the contemporary lifestyle of Americans in national calendars.

Let's make the Monday following Super Bowl Sunday a day for Americans to relax and recover. Please sign this petition and show your support for making this change a reality.
