Vesectomys go up during March Madness, people plan on sitting around.
Steve talked about how March Madness is very consuming. He talked about the pros and cons of it. The con was that workers are going to be much less productive during this time. They are more focused on the sports and less on their jobs. The pros were that it actually gave the workers something to bond over. People need to feel connected and to be a part of something. Sports are a way for people to actually bond and feel a sense of connection.

Social Identity Theory, sports actually play a huge part in who you are. For males it is very important for them to be popular and socially accepted. Women also but now as much. The teams you choose and follow usually have something in common. Geographic location, TV channels available, local radio, and others in the community will usually help define who you follow.

Sports and religion
A true fan has sports revolving around every aspect in his life. People actually get the same feeling from a sporting event as they would from a religious ceremony. They use a lot of the same words, sacrifice, prayer, etc.
