The five worst people during March Madness

Let’s take a look at the five most obnoxious people who ruin the fun of March Madness.

March Madness is one of the most wonderful times of the year. It’s a time for the whole country to come together in celebration of buzzer beaters and busted brackets. Eat your respective hearts out, Thanksgiving and Christmas; nothing brings people together quite like March Madness. Nothing.

But that doesn’t mean March Madness is without its drawbacks. No matter how joyous an occasion is, no matter how innocent and pure and quintessentially American — *cut to NCAA higher-ups and TV executives cackling and counting the stacks of money made off the labor of unpaid athletes* — people are going to ruin it, or at least attempt to. Why? Because people are never not the worst. That’s as big of a guarantee as a 1 seed beating a 16.

So before you embark on your month of unabashed basketball binge-watching, it’s important that you prepare yourself for the various malcontents, grumps and idiots who always pop up at this time of year. A lack of preparation can leave you vulnerable.
