I was there when someone was inviting Luke to watch the SuperBowl at a sports bar. Luke did not know SuperBowl was that day. He then politely turned down the invitation and went to work on a paper or some SIAI business.
Anyone I know would feel it was his right as a full-blooded American to not do work on Superbowl Sunday. I'm pretty convinced we're dealing with a significant outlier as far as productivity is concerned.
Even though other people have weighed in on this, I felt I needed to go back and comment. I couldn't tell at first whether you were serious, and then I remembered the Super Bowl seems really important to great big masses of Americans.
My D&D group was meeting as normal. Someone suggested watching the Super Bowl commercials on Hulu, and several others didn't know the Super Bowl was happening that day. (Personally, I had to skip D&D to work on my dissertation).
For a funny example of the shunning-pro-sports-as-shibboleth on Twitter, see this conversation.
