Tennessee introduces bill to dump Columbus Day as a holiday in favor of Super Bowl Monday

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/tennessee-introduces-bill-to-dump-columbus-day-as-a-holiday-in-favor-of-super-bowl-monday-182816603.html

Rejoice, Tennessee Titans fans, you might not have to "call in sick" the next time your favorite team takes part in the Super Bowl. Tennessee introduced a bill Wednesday that would make Super Bowl Monday a real holiday.

The bill was filed for introduction Wednesday by Senator London Lamar and Representative Joe Towns Jr., both Democrats. It proposed axing Columbus Day as a legal holiday in the state and replacing it with the first Monday after the Super Bowl.

Played at noon local time zone.

Columbus day is a joke anymore to begin with...fight with me I dare you ...superbowl Monday as a national holiday makes MUCH more sense as an excuse for a national stay home from work to be hung over holiday.
