I think that March Madness is important for workplaces, because at the article said, its huge for team building. Also, I can believe a slight loss in production, however the incentives some companies are offering are ingenious and are sure to boost production rather than inhibit it. I am not making a bracket due to not watching much basketball at all this year. Also, brackets and bidding moves a lot of money into the economy, estimates are 190 billion if I remember right!
i personally do not care for basketball. I do love baseball. March Madness is the time spring training for MLB starts! i always watch it with my girlfriend and we cant wait for it. Baseball is America's past time. its as american as cherry pie, corn fields, the bad lands, driving through Indiana and trucks. Its God Given.
The article talks about how the bonding experience of March Madness can boost morale and enthusiasm at work. I believe this is true but I also agree that when this is occurring there is a loss of productivity at the workplace. It's a matter of if the workers will continue to work hard from said morale boosts. A business that wanted UK to win will obviously be upset if UK looses. I think it is specific to the fans and the business. I will not be completing a bracket.

I am indifferent about March Madness.
