Superbowl Sunday

[Q]

If you really think about it, it's kind of odd that they have the Superbowl on Sunday.

With people having to go to work, school, etc on Monday, you'd think Saturday would be the better choice. Bars would probably get a lot more business, grocery stores, etc.

It's a tradition now.

Or have it on the Sunday before president's day.

 

[Slew Foot]

Either that or declare the day after, "hangover Monday"

Yeah, i can't imagine watching the Super Bowl on the east coast... 6 PM start time? Crazy.

and why would that matter to most of us?

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

stupid question. Should Thanksgiving be moved to Saturday? Should Christmas always fall on a Saturday?

People have to work every day of the year, someone is always going to get the short end of the stick. Get over it.

Yeah, you knew what I meant though. The vast majority of games are played on Sunday.

I also try my best to avoid football. Once, I stood outside in the rain while everyone else was watching the game. It was cold, miserable, and I was hungry, but at least I made my point. It's all about principles. I showed them. Those fools.

 

[0roo0roo]

people want to avoid church?

Traditionally, high school football games were Friday night, college games on Saturday, and pro games on Sunday. That was unchanged until the first Monday night football games in the early 70s, and (except for holidays) Thursday and Saturday games weren't until the 90s IIRC.

It boosts the economy. People will buy enough beer for two drunken days of drunken drunkenness. And chips and dip for two days.

What boosts economy? Wouldn't Sat. do that since you'd have an extra day??

No. Sunday would be a hangover recovery day with no excuse to continue partying. These things are scheduled by men. Buildup...buildup..buildup...blip...sleep.

It would not surprise me if the NFL moved the superbowl to Saturday someday.

Why would grocery stores get better business? Why is it odd that its on the same day they play most of the regular season games on? Why would the NFL care if it gave the bars more business? More people work on Saturdays than Sundays as well. If you really really think about it, Sunday is the logical and all around right choice.

It's a treat compared to Monday and Sunday Night Football.
