Superbowl 60 Patriots vs Seahags Discussion

Every time I rewatch that game, it gets more funny when Chris Collinsworth starts talking about Russell Wilson wanting to win six Super Bowls. The way he says it it sounds so matter-of-fact. This coming after a 4 INT NFCCG “win.”
or when Tyreek said they were gonna for 7
 
With Super Bowl 60 now just five days away, the U.S. economy is bound to endure one of the most dreadful days of the year.


The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will square off in Super Bowl 60, held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Sam Darnold’s Seahawks are favored over the Patriots in a showdown of two clubs that went 14-3 in the regular season.

Super Bowl Sunday, of course, features a lot of junk food and alcohol consumption. And according to a fascinating study, the U.S. economy will lose an astronomical amount in work productivity next Monday.

The Action Network surveyed more than 3,000 NFL fans and asked them 1) how many alcoholic beverages they’ll have for Super Bowl 60 and 2) whether they ever called in sick to work on the Monday after the Super Bowl, despite not being sick.

In their study, The Action Network estimates that the U.S. economy could lose $1.96 billion in work productivity next Monday because of hangovers and absenteeism:

“To convert people into dollars, we used a standard proxy for daily productivity: $222 per worker per day, based on average U.S. earnings and output. For employees who show up hungover, we assume a 25% drop in productivity, consistent with research on alcohol-related presenteeism.

When you crunch the numbers, the result adds up quickly:

7.63 million absentees × $222 = $1.69 billion
4.92 million hungover workers × $55.50 in lost output = $0.27 billion


Together, that’s about $1.96 billion in lost productivity tied to Super Bowl Monday alone.”


Also, 18 percent of those surveyed said “Yes” to calling in sick to work the day after the big game, even though they weren’t actually sick.
