The top of the actual Premier League may look significantly different at the moment, but when it comes to popularity among the public, Liverpool and Leicester are at the head of the pack. According to the latest figures from YouGov’s ‘Ratings’, 35 percent of people have a favourable opinion of The Reds, while 30 percent say the same for Leicester City. While Manchester United make it into third spot with 28 percent, it is probably unsurprising that one of the most successful clubs of the modern era – and therefore one of the most disliked – is also at the top of the ‘least popular’ table. This is due to 36 percent of people saying they hold an unfavourable view of the Old Trafford side. Liverpool is found in sixth here, getting the thumbs down from 26 percent of the survey respondents.

According to a survey by human resources consultancy Robert Half, around half of U.S. employees are potentially distracted by the March Madness colleague basketball tournament starting tomorrow. 49 percent of employees admitted in a survey to being distracted at work by sports in general.

Surprisingly, managers are not extremely worried about this kind of behavior during March Madness, when many workplaces organize their own bracket competitions. More than half thought that college football improved productivity and 72 percent said it improved employee morale.

The most common way to celebrate March Madness was to engage in bracket and other competitions, followed by the wearing of team apparel. Fewer managers said their employees were decorating or watching games during working hours.
