Tennessee Democrats Want to Cancel Columbus Day Holiday and Replace it with Super Bowl Monday – By Warner Todd Huston (Breitbart) / Feb 3, 2023
Democrats in Tennessee are proposing that the state trade holidays and replace Columbus Day with a new holiday of Super Bowl Monday.
Democrats Senator London Lamar and Representative Joe Towns Jr. introduced their bill on Wednesday to suggest that the state dump any recognition of Columbus Day and replace it with a Super Bowl Monday holiday to celebrate the game, which is always on Sunday, according to WKRN-TV.
Thus far, the bill’s summary only reads, “As introduced, removes Columbus Day as a legal holiday; designates the first Monday after the Super Bowl as a legal holiday.”
The Democrats say the bill would change Tennessee Code “by deleting the language, ‘the second Monday in October, known as ‘Columbus Day,’” and inserting the language, “the first Monday after the Super Bowl, known as ‘Super Bowl Monday.’”
