Why the weekend should start early with Thursday Night Football

Whistle Sports partnered with NBC Sports to make Thursday the OFFICIAL start of the weekend, so you can relax and enjoy Thursday Night Football.

They make a compelling argument:

America is at a crossroads. The choice is clear: do we continue to suffer the indignity of a two-day weekend? Do we keep sleepy Fridays at work dreaming of escaping the cubicle as part of our weekly routine? OR do we rise up to make the change that hardworking members of society have deserved for so long?

Our demands are simple. We, the people, the football fans, the hard working people of the United States deserve better. To be precise, what we deserve is a longer weekend and one that starts at the same time as Thursday night kick off.

All we ask is that the government simply change our national calendar, and make Thursday night the start of the weekend. That’s all. No big deal.

We’ve punched the card too many times to deserve anything less.
