With over one hundred and eight million viewers, Sunday's super bowl event was a celebration
for many American's. For some, the football game was an excuse to have fun with friends,
eat too much food, and of course drink plenty of alcohol.
Danielle Anderson: "A lot of people have the parties and drink and get a little
carried away." But how many get so carried away that they
have trouble working the next day? Josh Moore, a member of 4 for 4's fantasy football league,
thinks that there are too many hung over American's the following day. In fact, he started his
own petition to declare the day after the super bowl as a national holiday. The petition
argues that the holiday will help "keep the streets safer for children" and that
the day off would "help promote a productive work place" after the break. But students
argue that there is no need for the holiday. Nathan Whitham " A holiday in terms of a
national hangover day...I feel like that's not a good option"
Steven Olson: "We have enough small useless holidays as it is and we don't need to really
celebrate another hangover" Others feel that the holiday would be a great
opportunity to rest. Danielle Anderson: " A lot of people stay
up late to watch the game. The next day it would be nice to have a break."
A break that sixteen thousand Americans signed to have one more day off. For WIUTV3 I'm
