Day 3: Sports

Compare/Contrast: NCAA Basketball Tournament costs the American economy nearly $200 Million! 

Some of you may have heard this before: "The productivity of the American workforce drops significantly during March Madness." Apparently, this is quite a popular topic this time of year considering the number of articles I was able to find on the topic. I have provided you with a few links that consider both sides of this argument. Each article describes the suspected drop in productivity and the potentially over-blown statistics that tend to accompany this argument.




After reading both articles, weigh both sides of information. Then write a 250-500 response that covers the entirety of the debate. HAVE FUN!
