Fantasy Football In The Workplace

The folks over at WiseBread have posted a really good article on how fantasy football affects the productivity in an office.  A few key points that I found interesting from the article:

  • Fantasy football costs corporate America an estimated $36.7 million daily on lost productivity.
  • The average manager spends 34 minutes a day just thinking about his team, NOT including time spent on the web changing their team around.
  • Now, multiply that figure per league!  I know my room mate is in 4 leagues this year.

It’s easy to see why corporate America is trying to put the brakes on one of the bigger time thieves of the season.  What are your thoughts?
