SPORTS ZONE 2: Fans Want Super Bowl Holiday

“Play Sunday… Sleep Monday!” That’s the slogan of a group of football fans who want legislators to declare the day after the Big Game an official national holiday. The new holiday would be called DA DAY--as in “Day After” day. This year, DA DAY would fall on February 6.

Members of the National Academy of Persons (NAP) say declaring DA DAY a national holiday makes sense. Numbers show that there are more parties held for the Big Game than on New Year’s Eve. Then, the next day, an estimated 1.4 million employed Americans call in sick. Why not just let them sleep in?

NAP, along with the hamburger chain White Castle, is calling on football fans to visit DA DAY’s official website (www.daday.com) and sign a petition. Signatures gathered will be sent to the nation’s capital in hopes of earning national holiday recognition for DA DAY.

Americans get 16 national holidays. The French get 30 days off a year, the British get 28 days, and the Japanese get 25.
