March Madness Fiasco: Initial Data

For my first day of data collecting, I looked at the first 30 original comments and looked specifically at what reactions both men and women had to the post. I found that most people were either angry, surprised, thankful or in the complete opposition of the post. I have organized this data in the graph below.

I wasn't surprised by the number of people who were angry, that was an obvious response, and it wasn't a surprise that more women commented than men, but I was surprised to see that the only people who were in the opposition were women! I wonder if this trend will continue or if there will be more men in the opposition as well. I also found it ironic that more men commented more posts of surprise, like they didn't realize it was this bad of an issue.
