Should the Super Bowl be a U.S. holiday? You make the call - MarketWatch

Should the Super Bowl be a U.S. holiday? You make the call - MarketWatch:
"Potato chip and beer sales skyrocket. Big-screen televisions suddenly go from being mere objects of desire to absolute necessities. Parties are plentiful. And there's also that little matter of crowning the best football team in all of creation.
Sure, the Super Bowl is widely treated as a de facto holiday. But is America's obsession with the pigskin worthy of parlaying the National Football League's championship game into an official American celebration and three-day weekend?"
So what is next? World Series Weekend. Why should we be celebrating a sport as a holiday? People are weirding me out lately.
