(Indianapolis, IN) - Indiana lawmakers are considering making the day after the Super Bowl a state holiday.

Millions of Americans wake up the Monday after the Super Bowl wishing they had an extra day to recover and many even call off sick, which coined the term “Super Bowl Flu.” But soon, this may no longer be an issue for Hoosiers.

Indiana House Bill 1517 aims to declare the day after the Super Bowl an official state holiday, called “American Professional Football Day."

State Representative Mitch Gore, who is one of the authors of the bill, said studies show nearly 17 million people call in sick nationwide every year after the big game and about 30% of workers report reduced productivity.
