Are you wondering where you’ll be on Super Bowl Monday, the day after the big game? If you’re planning to take a bit more time in the morning to commute or prefer staying home after enjoying Sunday’s festivities, rest assured that you’re in good company.
Due to a phenomenon known as Super Bowl Monday, businesses may experience a slight shortage of staff. This day has unofficially become a holiday for those who may have indulged a little too much during the Big Game.
Thanks to the popularity of West Virginia sports betting, football fans in the Mountain State are expected to partake in the Super Bowl Monday festivities, as anticipation for the Big Game reaches its peak.
Is Super Bowl Monday a thing?
According to a study conducted by Captivate’s Office Pulse, it has been estimated that Super Bowl Monday will result in a productivity loss of around $484 million for companies. Furthermore, a separate survey conducted by Monster revealed that nearly 12 percent of employees plan to take Monday off to recover from the festivities.
With scheduled absences, feigning illness, tardiness, or a lack of concentration, it is unlikely that any substantial work will be accomplished. Moreover, those present at the workplace will probably engage in discussions about the game, halftime show, or eagerly awaited commercials.
According to the study, the majority of the workplace, specifically 75%, will be engaged in Super Bowl discussions on Monday.
Furthermore, there is a plethora of topics to discuss. Nearly everything failed to meet expectations, with the ratings hitting a ten-year low. Additionally, the lackluster game, which some deemed a snoozefest, contributed to the disappointment.
In order to amuse themselves, NFL enthusiasts resorted to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction, and the tweets from last night might become a hot topic for water-cooler conversations on Super Bowl Monday.
Super Bowl Twitter for the win
Super Bowl LIII’s most captivating aspect possibly lied within Super Bowl Twitter. Regrettably for the NFL, the Twitter sphere buzzed with more excitement than the on-field action.
Mercedes-Benz USA possibly delivered the most exceptional tweet of the evening.
Had this game not been held in my stadium, I would have already left by now.
After some time, the company eventually removed the post, however, numerous followers had already voiced their agreement prior to its deletion.
Here are a couple more highlights from the evening:
Every football enthusiast has a Super Bowl half-time enthusiast counterpart, and this year’s performance was regarded as mediocre at best, much like the game itself.
Shawn Fluharty, the Representative from West Virginia, had a statement to share regarding the matter.
The French Embassy engaged in some classic trolling with a touch of nostalgia.
Lastly, the prevailing sentiment shared by many of us was:
However, thanks to The Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight, all hope was not lost. Her rendition of the National Anthem during the Super Bowl is being hailed as one of the greatest performances in its history.
West Virginia sportsbooks remained relatively silent
West Virginia’s sports betting industry is still in its early stages, having been legalized in the state only in August 2017. Given this fact, one would expect sportsbook promotion to be a significant focus. However, it is quite unexpected that WV sportsbooks remained relatively quiet leading up to the major game.
The Greenbrier stood out as the sole casino that actively tweeted about the Big Game on Super Bowl Sunday. While Wheeling Island deserves credit for sharing their Super Bowl Party plans beforehand, they only did so once. Apart from that, all other casinos remained silent on social media during the event.
BetLucky, the sole mobile sports betting app in WV, failed to promote its betting lines or motivate bettors to participate. Ultimately, the WV sportsbook’s Twitter presence was as lackluster as the Big game itself.
