NCAA March Madness Tournament Tainted by Political Correctness
“Each year, the tournament produces extreme mood swings in both its players and its fans,” said spokesperson Carol Foyler. “In our view, those symptoms are consistent with bipolar disorder.”
Even as tournament purists complained that the NCAA had caved in to the medical community, sports marketing expert Colby Teague said that the name-change could open the door to new sponsorship opportunities from the manufacturers of bipolar disorder medications, such as Eli Lilly.
“I could see a scenario where next year it’s called the Zyprexa™ March Bipolar Disorder,” he said.
Among bipolar college basketball fans like Devon Trailor of Chapel Hill, NC, reaction to the controversial name-change was mixed: “I was very excited about the new name yesterday, but today I’m not.”
