Why don't they have Martin Luther King day after the Superbowl?

His birthday is always on a monday, so it's not always the exact day anyway (Jan. 17th). Black History month is February, and I would much rather have off the Monday after the Superbowl then a monday in January.

Because the holiday is to commemorate his birthday not make a convenient 3 day weekend for drunken, selfish football fans.

Which team did he play for?

Leave his holiday near his birthday. Duh.

He was a great man. Do you know much about him?
