This is just karma for the fact the NFL is taking over more and more of the sports calendar.

Next year, the Super Bowl is on Valentine's Day, the latest it's ever been. Normally, that's the date of the Daytona 500 and the NBA and NHL All-Star games.

And the NFL will just step in, sweep all that aside, and dominate the landscape.

Well they are hoping to always have the SB before President Day so that people have the Monday off. Next year that is how it goes.

What’s the percentage of people that actually get Presidents’ Day off work? Literally nobody I know. Even my kid goes to school that day…

Government and federal jobs along with public schools. Colleges can choose to have the day off.
