The Big Game An American Tradition Of Alcohol Related Crime (Houston Drunk Driving)

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. The Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning take on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. The day has become an American holiday except no one gets the day off on Monday. I'd like to propose the movement to make the day after the Super Bowl an official holiday. Everyone really enjoys themselves on Sunday and needs a day of recovery. Lets be honest, their isn't a whole lot of workforce production the day after the Super Bowl. Who would really be opposed to making it a holiday?

Another unfortunate tradition regarding the Super Bowl is the crime that follows. Its like the soccer hooligans in European football. I guess whether you call it football in Europe or American football here, drunkenness and thuggery will follow. Its inevitable and sad that Assaults, drunk driving and DWI and other crimes follow the festivities. Here's to hoping  that everyone behaves responsibly. Who Dat? Go Colts. May the best team win, the commercials be entertaining and The Who not put us all to sleep.
