Superbowl Monday petition
Superbowl Monday petition

TULSA —

If you feel a little blurry today, perhaps because you stayed up later and partied a little harder than you would on a normal Sunday night, you might want to take a moment to sign a petition.

On the White House's "We the People" website, a petition calling for the day after the Superbowl to become a national holiday has collected more than 14,000 signatures.

It needs to get 100,000 by Feb. 23 to elicit an official response from the Obama administration.

The petition was initiated by 4fo4.com, a fantasy football site.

The group says making the Monday following the Superbowl a holiday would "promote camaraderie among the American people, keep the streets safer for our children on Sunday night and Monday morning, promote a productive workplace when work resumes on Tuesday, and honor the most popular event in modern American culture."
