Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Monday

Roscan Gold Corp

In a recent development, Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate, has alleged that she was assaulted by police during a pro-Palestinian protest at Washington University in St. Louis.
What Happened: Stein claimed that the police used their bicycles as weapons to push back the protesters, including herself, during the demonstration on Sunday. The protest led to the arrest of over 80 people, including Stein, who allegedly &#8220;refused to leave after being asked multiple times,&#8221; according to a statement from Washington University in St. Louis, <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/4630683-jill-stein-accuses-police-assaulting-washington-university-st-louis-pro-palestinian-protest/">reported</a> The Hill.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Stein said she was &#8220;violently assaulted and arrested&#8221; along with nearly 100 other people whoo were &#8220;peacefully protesting genocide.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">We were violently assaulted and arrested with ~100 others peacefully protesting genocide at Washington University in St. Louis.

Stein stated that one officer lifted her foot, causing her to fall backward. She was subsequently charged with assaulting an officer and reported having &#8220;really sore&#8221; ribs. She also mentioned the possibility of needing an emergency room visit to check for a potential rib fracture.
These protests, demanding a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, have led to the arrest of hundreds of student and faculty demonstrators across the nation. Stein&#8217;s campaign released a video of her being escorted off campus by police. She, her campaign manager, and deputy campaign manager were released from the St. Louis County Jail early Sunday morning.
According to Washington University, the protesters arrived on campus intending to cause a &#8220;significant disruption.&#8221; They allegedly violated university policy by setting up a camp, leading officials to ask them to leave.
Stein expressed &#8220;enormous solidarity&#8221; with the student protesters, stating that they are &#8220;risking everything&#8221; to demand a moral response to the ongoing conflict.

Why It Matters: These protests are part of a larger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38446778/students-demand-universities-sell-off-israel-related-stocks-hundreds-arrested-in-nationwide-protests">wave of demonstrations</a> on college campuses nationwide.

The power to deploy the National Guard, it clarified, lies with state governors, not the president.

Presidential Candidate Jill Stein Accuses Police Of Using Bicycles As Weapons At University Protest: 'We Were Violently Assaulted And Arrested'

The political rivalry between former President Donald Trump and third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is heating up as recent polls indicate a closer race than expected.
What Happened: The feud between Trump and Kennedy is intensifying. Kennedy&#8217;s third-party candidacy is now perceived as a significant threat to both Trump and incumbent President Joe Biden, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4630224-trump-rfk-jr-feud-heats-up-as-polls-tighten/">reported</a> The Hill.
Trump recently used his Truth Social platform to label Kennedy as a &#8220;Plant&#8221; for the Democrats, intended to aid Biden&#8217;s re-election. He further stated that a vote for Kennedy would be a &#8220;WASTED PROTEST VOTE.&#8221;
Kennedy countered Trump&#8217;s social media onslaught, describing it as a &#8220;barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims.&#8221;
Contrary to initial beliefs that Kennedy&#8217;s candidacy would pose more risks to the Democrats, recent polling data from Decision Desk HQ paints a more complex picture. The gap between Trump and Biden is narrowing, resulting in a three-way race.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s attack on Kennedy last week suggests <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38479193/donald-trump-goes-off-on-one-candidate-for-stealing-potential-votes-away-from-him-in-tight-race-agai">growing concerns within his camp</a> about Kennedy&#8217;s influence. Meanwhile, the latest NBC News poll indicates that Kennedy could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38349825/trumps-voters-enamored-with-robert-kennedy-jr-not-bidens-shows-latest-poll">potentially draw</a> more votes away from Trump than Biden.
Interestingly, the poll shows that a larger portion of Trump voters are switching their support to Kennedy, compared to those who initially chose Biden. This shift in voter preference could significantly impact the 2024 presidential race.
As the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38417836/trump-and-biden-get-ready-2024-election-betting-odds-point-to-major-showdown">2024 election betting odds</a> heat up, both Democrats and Republicans are vying to define Kennedy&#8217;s political persona, acknowledging his potential influence on the race&#8217;s outcome.

Trump-Kennedy Jr. Feud Escalates As Polls Indicate Gap Between Democract, GOP Candidates Narrowing

Travel insurance might seem like just another checkbox while booking your trip, but it&#8217;s a vital safeguard against accidents and unexpected events for the smart traveller. Whether for booking flights, trains, or even those exciting hobby activities at your destination, travel insurance shields you and your family from unforeseen losses that can throw a wrench in your plans.
Most countries even require international travel insurance as part of their visa process. But beyond legal requirements, securing insurance offers peace of mind, particularly for extended trips, early bookings, or family vacations.
Let&#8217;s dive into the common pitfalls you should sidestep when choosing your travel insurance policy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Opting for the Cheapest Policy</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/29075525/travel-insurance-2-1024x576.jpg" alt="Many travelers opt for the most affordable travel insurance, hoping to save money.

Image credit: Unsplash/ Bambi Corro</figcaption></figure>
A common trap is snapping up the cheapest travel insurance available. Though it might save you a few bucks initially, such plans usually provide minimal coverage and come with high deductibles. In an emergency, this could lead to significant out-of-pocket expenses. Always opt for a policy that provides extensive coverage at a fair price.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hiding Pre-Existing Medical Conditions</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/29075857/health-insurance-1024x576.jpg" alt="To ensure your travel insurance is valid, disclose any pre-existing medical conditions when applying.

Image credit: Unsplash/ Stephen Andrews</figcaption></figure>
When buying travel insurance, disclose any pre-existing medical conditions you have. Concealing your health history can void your policy, leaving you vulnerable during a medical crisis. Always be upfront and ensure the policy you choose accommodates your health needs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ignoring Specific Coverage for Your Destination</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="575" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/29080046/travel-insurance-3-1024x575.jpg" alt="Before purchasing travel insurance, verify that your policy extends coverage to your destination.

Image credit: Shutterstock/ PHOTOCREO Michal Bednarek</figcaption></figure>
Always verify that your insurance covers your particular destination. Some policies exclude certain countries or regions. To avoid surprises, confirm your coverage scope with your insurer, ensuring it matches your itinerary.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Overlooking Optional Add-Ons</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/29080359/travel-insurance-4-1024x576.jpg" alt="Travel insurance policies often offer additional coverage for high-value items or adventure sports.

Image credit: Unsplash/ GeoJango Maps</figcaption></figure>
Travel insurance policies often offer extras like high-value item coverage or adventure sports insurance. Before finalizing your purchase, assess whether these additional protections are necessary for your journey. They might raise your premium slightly but could prevent hefty future costs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Assuming Comprehensive Coverage</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/29080749/travel-insurance-5-1024x576.jpg" alt="Familiarize yourself with the exclusions and limitations of your policy.

Image credit: Unsplash/ CardMapr.nl</figcaption></figure>
Never assume your policy covers all possible scenarios. Travel insurance often excludes high-risk activities like extreme sports. If your vacation plans include potentially dangerous adventures like skiing or bungee jumping, you might need to secure extra coverage. Familiarize yourself with the exclusions and limitations of your policy to avoid unexpected gaps in coverage.

Looking To Buy Travel Insurance? Avoid These 5 Mistakes That Could Create Financial Nightmares For You

The relationship between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis was heated at times during the Republican primary season, before the Florida governor dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and threw his support <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36709808/ron-desantis-ends-presidential-race-backs-donald-trump-ahead-of-new-hampshire-primaries">behind the former president.</a>
DeSantis remains a potential vice president candidate for Trump's 2024 election campaign.
 What Happened: Trump has not selected a vice president to be his running mate for the 2024 election, but public comments from the former president saw DeSantis named as one of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37234209/who-will-be-trumps-vp-former-president-hints-at-these-good-solid-names">six potential candidates.</a>
On Sunday, Trump and DeSantis held a meeting in Miami, which marked their first conversation since DeSantis dropped out of the race, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/28/politics/trump-desantis-miami-meeting/index.html">CNN</a>.
The meeting, which lasted several hours, was arranged by Trump's longtime friend Steve Witkoff according to the report. The meeting was requested by DeSantis <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/28/trump-desantis-meeting/">according </a>to The Washington Post.
DeSantis previously said he would help fundraise for Trump, which could be the reason for the meeting. Speculation could also grow that DeSantis could be eyeing a role as Trump's candidate for vice president.
The Florida governor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33192668/im-not-a-no-2-guy-says-ron-desantis-about-becoming-trumps-2024-running-mate">previously said</a> he did not want to be a vice president as he is "not a number two guy."
News of DeSantis and Trump meeting also comes as another Trump vice president candidate is facing backlash. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38476976/trump-vp-contender-kristi-noem-stirs-controversy-defending-dogs-brutal-killing-on-family-farm-it-had"> faced backlash</a> after a new book revealed that she shot a family dog labeled as untrainable.
The new memoir "No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward" included the decision to put the dog down, which led to backlash from both Republicans and Democrats.
"The fact is, South Dakota law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can be put down. Given that Cricket had shown aggressive behavior toward people by biting them, I decided what I did," Noem <a href="https://twitter.com/KristiNoem/status/1784631108207849781">said </a>in a tweet discussing the backlash. "Whether running the ranch or in politics, I have never passed on my responsibilities to anyone else to handle. Even if it's hard and painful."

On Polymarket, users deposit to Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) and can deposit with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
Among the hottest betting markets on <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/republican-vp-nominee/will-a-trump-family-member-win-the-2024-republican-vp-nomination">Polymarket </a>is one asking users to predict who will be the Republican vice president pick of Trump. Over $17 million has been bet on the market, which is up significantly from the $212,000 in wagers on the market when Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36749394/trump-vice-president-pick-crypto-bettors-backing-haley-ramaswamy-desantis-and-this-potenti">reported in January </a>on the subject.
The platform, which cashes out winning wagers at $1 offers several selections for Trump's potential vice president pick.
Here are the current top candidates and their implied betting odds, with odds from January in parentheses where applicable.
Tim Scott: 22% (12%)
Elise Stefanik: 8% (26%)
JD Vance: 6% (N/A)
Nikki Haley: 5% (11%)
Ben Carson: 5% (10%)
Marco Rubio: 5% (N/A)
Kristi Noem: 4% (19%)
Ron DeSantis: 3% (4%)
Vivek Ramaswamy: 2% (12%)
The latest betting odds showed Scott was the favorite to be named vice president. The senator was on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37234209/who-will-be-trumps-vp-former-president-hints-at-these-good-solid-names">shortlist named by Trump</a> in February along with DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, Ramaswamy, Bryon Donalds and Noem.
Stefanik and Noem were among the most bet on options for months, but both have dropped down the odds chart.
There are several other candidates listed with a 2% chance and also the options for "Other Man" and "Other Woman," which have odds of 13% and 12%, respectively.

<a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/CMCSA">Comcast</a>'s NBCUniversal is prepared to pay an average of about $2.5 billion a year to air a package of National Basketball Association games, as rival <a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/WBD">Warner Bros. Discovery</a> makes last-ditch efforts to keep those rights, say people familiar with the situation.
Warner's TNT is one of the league's oldest TV partners and has paid an average fee of $1.2 billion under its current deal. Warner was unable to reach a new pact with the NBA before an exclusive negotiating window expired last week, which allowed NBC to make a bid.

- Publication highlights administration of setmelanotide therapy resulted in a mean percent reduction in BMI of 15% at 16 weeks and 26% at one year of treatment - &nbsp;
- Topline data from ongoing pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in hypothalamic obesity on track for 2Q 2025 -
BOSTON, April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYTM#NASDAQ">RYTM</a>), a global commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on transforming the lives of patients and their families living with rare neuroendocrine diseases, today announced the publication of previously disclosed results from its Phase 2 study of setmelanotide for the treatment of hypothalamic obesity. The data are published in the peer-reviewed journal <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=LOTYrG0-b2uRO2Ow4ozZz-WqjIt97P7lhr7DKV4czewf45SX2K71fLIWjHf3wZ0MBAb2gUUbaZCG8-oddnDJ9_eSBSYvEe64ucLC8WceKigi15YqG2-_sRJXSn4eKJ8uMu-pL83DxgvMwkuWvX-i0NwyGUIrohxgWXuSuucav14evo_sGUdvDmqb19hu_U6lp4qQebYD0nehsFmQYOpWbQ==">The Lancet Diabetes &amp; Endocrinology</a>.
"People with hypothalamic obesity experience rapid, severe weight gain and hyperphagia," said lead author Christian Roth, M.D., Seattle Children's Research Institute and Division of Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington. "In this first study to investigate the use of setmelanotide as a targeted treatment for hypothalamic obesity, we observed a consistent reduction in body weight and hunger in all adherent patients. We believe these findings support setmelanotide as a potential novel and effective treatment option, and we look forward to potentially confirming the results in the ongoing pivotal study."
Acquired hypothalamic obesity is a rare form of extreme obesity that occurs following damage to the hypothalamic region of the brain, which includes the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) pathway and is responsible for controlling physiological functions such as hunger and weight regulation. It most frequently follows the growth or surgical removal of craniopharyngioma, astrocytoma, or other rare brain tumors. Patients experience rapid weight gain, a reduction in energy expenditure, and an increase in hunger leading to severe obesity within six to 12 months following tumor resection.
Rhythm enrolled 18 patients in its open-label, 16-week Phase 2 trial designed to evaluate setmelanotide in acquired hypothalamic obesity in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥95th percentile (children 6 to &lt;18 years) or ≥35 kg/m2 (adults ≥18 years). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved a 5% or greater reduction in BMI after 16 weeks of treatment. Hunger was also assessed daily, as self-reported by individual patients. As previously disclosed, results demonstrated:
<ul>
<li>89% (16 of 18) of patients achieved the primary endpoint;</li>
<li>78% (14 of 18) of patients achieved a 10% or greater reduction in BMI at 16 weeks;</li>
<li>Mean percent reduction in BMI was 15% from baseline;</li>
<li>In pediatric patients (n=13), the mean (standard deviation [SD]) BMI Z score at Week 16 was 2.7 (1.3), a reduction of 1.3 (1.0) points from baseline; and</li>
<li>Mean (SD) most hunger score at baseline was 6.6 (1.6), compared with 3.7 (2.5) at Week 16, for a reduction of –2.9 (2.3) points or 45% for patients ≥12 years of age (n=11). &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The publication also includes preliminary data from Rhythm's long-term extension of the Phase 2 study that were disclosed at ObesityWeek&#xAE; 2023. These data show patients with hypothalamic obesity (n=12) achieved mean BMI reduction of approximately 26% at one year on setmelanotide treatment.
Consistent with prior experience, setmelanotide was generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events (AEs) in the primary trial included nausea (61.1%), vomiting (33.3%), skin hyperpigmentation (33.3%), diarrhea (22.2%), and COVID-19 (22.2%). Two patients discontinued due to AEs and a third patient was non-compliant. There were no serious AEs, no AEs that led to study discontinuation during the trial, and no new safety concerns were observed during the long-term extension trial.
In January 2024, Rhythm announced the completion of screening for enrollment in the ongoing pivotal, Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating setmelanotide in patients with acquired hypothalamic obesity. The Company remains on track to obtain topline study results in the first half of 2025.

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) recent achievement in passing a significant milestone for its full self-driving (FSD) technology in China sparked discussions among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/news">investors and enthusiasts</a>. 
The news, which caused Tesla&#8217;s share price to spike more than 15% on Monday, comes as the electric car maker continues to navigate the competitive Chinese market.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Win For Tesla</h1>
The breakthrough in China raises expectations that Tesla&#8217;s FSD technology will soon be available in the country. China is Tesla&#8217;s largest market for electric vehicles.
Investors see this move as a strategic win for Tesla. Especially since it comes at a time when it is facing stiff competition from local rivals such as BYD Co Ltd (OTCPK:BYDDF) (OTCPK:BYDDY), Nio Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), and Xpeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>).
However, some investors remain cautious about the impact of this development on Tesla&#8217;s stock.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">May Not Be The Catalyst To Drive Further Gains, Says Redditor</h1>
The Redditor known as Puginator <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1cfwypc/tesla_jumps_10_in_premarket_trade_after_passing/">posted on r/stocks</a>, sharing his opinion on the news. He highlighted that while Tesla&#8217;s stock saw a significant jump, this may not be the catalyst to drive further gains. 
Others echoed similar sentiments. Two Redditors pointed out previous announcements by Tesla, such as the unveiling of Tesla 2 and the promise of robotaxis, did not have a significant impact on the stock price.
Despite the skepticism, some believe Tesla&#8217;s move to bring its FSD technology to China could have broader implications.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Implications Of Tesla&#8217;s FSD Nod</h1>
Redditor Decent-Photograph391 suggested China&#8217;s decision to allow Tesla&#8217;s FSD could be a strategic move to smooth over Chinese EVs&#8217; entry into the U.S. market. By allowing Tesla&#8217;s FSD, China may be positioning itself favorably in the global EV market, leveraging its ability to make quick decisions and allocate resources effectively. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">&#8220;I have a different take. China is allowing it to smooth over Chinese EV's entry into the US market.
They figure it's no big loss to allow Tesla's &#8216;FSD,&#8217; as it won't hurt the Chinese in their domestic market as few people make buying decisions based on driving assistance. BYDs are selling just fine without investing too much into it.&#8221;
<cite>&#8212;<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1cfwypc/comment/l1s3r3w/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">Redditor Decent-Photograph391</a></cite></blockquote>
Overall, investors saw Tesla&#8217;s progress with its FSD technology in China as a positive development for the company.
It remains to be seen how this milestone will truly impact Tesla&#8217;s stock and its competitive position in the global EV market.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock closed up 15.31% at $194.05 on Monday.

For years, fans of the National Football League have been hoping to have the day after the Super Bowl <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/02/37059904/should-the-day-after-the-super-bowl-be-a-holiday-heres-what-benzinga-readers-said-and-what-history">made an official holiday.</a>
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hinted that this wish from fans could happen if he gets his way.
What Happened: The National Football League recently enjoyed setting records at the 2024 NFL Draft with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o">the city of Detroit</a> helping set new day one and overall draft weekend records of 275,000 and 775,000 people, respectively.
While <a href="https://twitter.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1783902224927633813">speaking </a>on "The Pat McAfee Show" Friday during the NFL Draft, Goodell was asked his thoughts about the current NFL season structure.
Goodell said he isn't a fan of the preseason games and would prefer to have an 18-game schedule for NFL teams. The current schedule has teams playing three preseason games and 17 regular season games.
"I think we're good at 17 now. But listen, we're looking at how we continue," Goodell said.
One of the comments made by Goodell when discussing the potential change to the NFL schedule was to have the Super Bowl moved back a week, which would put it in alignment with the Presidents' Day weekend.
Presidents&#8217; Day, which honors U.S. presidents including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln who have February birthdays, falls on the third Monday of February annually. The date is a federal holiday and also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37196072/presidents-day-sees-wall-street-pause-nasdaq-nyse-shut-doors-today">sees major U.S. stock exchanges closed.</a>
By moving the Super Bowl to the Sunday of Presidents' Day Weekend, many NFL fans and viewers of the game would have the day following the NFL championship off of work.
A move would have to be approved by the NFL Players Association. The league and Players Association previously made changes to the 16-game regular season to 17 games and eliminated a preseason game from the previous annual total of four. An agreement was also reached on expanding the playoff field from 12 teams to 14 teams, which added two additional postseason games each season.

Why It's Important: Having an extra NFL game and the Super Bowl as part of a holiday weekend are items that could help companies with media deals with the NFL and sportsbooks.
The company with rights to the Super Bowl could charge more for advertisements late in the game as viewership might not drop later in the game due to anyone going to bed to wake up for work the next morning.
Last year's Super Bowl (Super Bowl LVIII) hit a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/02/37109382/super-bowl-lviii-sets-modern-day-viewership-record-how-did-nfl-championship-compare-to-apollo-11-mo">modern-day viewership record </a>with an average of 123.4 million viewers across network and streaming platforms owned by Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>). The game was watched by a total of 202.4 million people, which was up 10% year-over-year.
The locations and dates have already been announced for the next three Super Bowls. The media partners for the next 10 Super Bowls have also been announced with Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) set to air Super Bowl LVIX in 2025.
Based on needing approval for the changes, it could be several years before the Super Bowl falls on a holiday weekend, but Goodell's comments could be a positive step in the right direction of giving fans one of the most requested items in sports.
A 2023&nbsp;<a href="https://workforceinstitute.org/super-bowl-survey-will-we-see-a-spike-in-absenteeism/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">survey&nbsp;</a>from the Workforce Institute said 18.1 million employees were expected to miss work the day after last year's Super Bowl.
Furthermore, workforce productivity is expected to drop by more than $5 billion in the week of and the day after the Super Bowl, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbookreview.com/news/super-bowl-saturday-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">study&nbsp;</a>from Sportsbook Review.
There have been petitions over the years to move the Super Bowl to a Saturday. More than two dozen petitions have been made on Change.org since 2017,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/02/04/super-bowl-monday-holiday/72369926007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a>&nbsp;to USA Today. One recent petition to move the game to Saturday generated over 144,000 signatures. &nbsp;
One proposal also suggested that Presidents' Day, which is a federal holiday, should come the day after the Super Bowl.
&#8220;The reason we haven&#8217;t done it in the past is simply just from an audience standpoint. The audiences on Sunday night are so much larger,&#8221; Goodell said in 2018. &#8220;Fans want to have the best opportunity to be able to see the game and we want to give that to them, so Sunday night is a better night.&#8221;
A survey of Benzinga social media followers asked if the day after the Super Bowl should be a holiday revealed 57.9% on X (formerly known as Twitter) selected yes and 60% on LinkedIn said yes, suggesting more than half of the country would welcome the idea Goodell is ready to propose.
