Do Opposites Attract?

LA Times Crossword Corner Answers Today Tuesday, November 30, 2021 John Michael Currie 1

20-Across. Available workers, statistically: LABOR MARKET.
 Labor Day is the first Monday in September.

27-Across. Meteorology, e.g.: EARTH SCIENCE.  Earth Day falls on April 22.

45-Across. Game in which grabbing a piece of cloth replaces tackling: FLAG FOOTBALL.  Flag Day is on June 14. 

And the unifier:

54-Across. Period when everything is backwards … and where the starts of
20-, 27- and 45-Across might be found?: OPPOSITE DAY.  Hand
up if you have heard of Opposite Day.  Apparently it is a real day and is
observed on January 25.

This clue indicates that the first word of each theme answer
can be placed Opposite word Day to give us a
new concept.  Note that each of these “days” is a recognized holiday:
Labor Day (1st Monday of September), Earth Day (April 22), and Flag Day (June
14).  It appears to me Market Day and Science Day can also valid “days”,
albeit not recognized holidays.  I don’t believe I have ever heard of a
specific Football Day.

Across:

1. Way in the woods: PATH.

5. Japanese cattle breed yielding Kobe beef: WAGYU.  Not a
Tuesday word, but I think we have seen it in the puzzles before.
