His birthday is Jan. 17th, but the holiday is always a Monday. No one wants off a day in the middle of January. February is Black History Month anyway. Why not move his holiday to the Monday after the Super Bowl?

Because the two teams sent too much time on two weeks for the rest before ready to play in Super Bowl game. Now the NFL rules has change, as the super bowl week is cut to two weeks from a week of rest. since 2003 as New England vs. Carolina.
The federal always pass the law that Martin Luther King holiday into the national holiday that it's in January, not February because January is King's birth month.

Ummm. Martin Luther King Jr. was not born in february you genious. If someone tried to celebrate my birthday two weeks late I would be ticked. I would think they forgot about me.
I love football but it isn't a national holiday. You don't move national holidays to accomodate your hangover. Drink less and go to bed at halftime or use a vacation day.

why don't you speak to his mother and blame her for not holding him in her womb an extra month so you could enjoy a day off after a sporting event.
your mother and father weren't by any chance brother and sister were they?

Why celebrate the birth of someone who did no good for our country? Everyone heralds him as a such a great leader for the black community... I don't see what positive progress has been made.

That is actually a very good question. They should move it, but it is too late.
