Countless people don't show for work after watching one of americas favorite sports events. Makes sense, but a little silly to want it as a holiday. i signed anyway.

people all over do it all the time to get that extra day off, especially for holidays. the most common days this happens are monday and friday.
plus a lot of jobs do pay for vacations and sick days so to those people its something to take advantage of.

If you work for a company like IBM or even a food chain like Burger King, then ya that might be applicable sometimes. But if you work for a Mom&Pops or somthing like that it is most likely that is a rare thing. If you call out of work because you stayed up all night to watch a Football game and eating ALOT of cocktail weinies is most likely not going to fly.
Let's take a similar situation but a different show... Lets say the 17 of July there is a 17 hour marathon of Star Trek. I would stay up all night long and watch the marathon. Now let's say that now there are MILLIONS of people watching this marathon every year and they make Borg Chips and Klingon Ale (or whatever) for this event.
Now the day after people have hangovers and are overtired from watching TV all day. But the people that are NOT Star Trek fans are ready to go to work. Now is it fair that they dont get to go to work because the Star Trek fans are tired? No, of course not!
You could have this arguement about Thanksgiving or whatever, but people still work during that time too.

But why specifically after the Super Bowl? Show up for your damn jobs.

You guys are taking this too seriously and are over analyzing.

Re: Make the day after the superbowl a national holiday.

When you stop taking things seriously, the day after the Super Bowl becomes a national holiday.

Stupid lazy, greedy Americans.

Re: Make the day after the superbowl a national holiday.

I'm not saying it should actually become a holiday, but you guys seem to be missing something here. Football is an american sport, and basically everyone becomes aware of the superbowl (even if you hate the sport, you're bound to know about an event like this sooner or later when the time for it gets closer). So the majority of people gather for parties much like x-mas, thanksgiving, and new years and tend to drink too much, or get lazy. What i found funny about the site was that it was basically saying the superbowl is already a holiday and that people will call in from work regardless because of drinking so it may as well be a holiday.

Where's your sense of humor?
