We’re not all sports-theater-concert-tickets all the time. For example, we heard there was some debate in Washington and around the country about health care reform legislation. We heard, proponents say it will insure 30+ million more people and opponents call it a government takeover of 1/6 of the U.S. economy, but how just how do politics stack up to major sporting events?
Sure, we here at FanSnap can tell you who is searching for what tickets, which events are hot and how to find great ticket values, but for this question, we had to turn to Google. Hey Google, how many people are searching for the term “health care bill” vs how many people are searching for “NCAA Tournament”?
Yes, we know there were some major announcements made on the health care debate and NCAA Regionals don’t start up again until tomorrow, but still, how do they compare?

The red line is interest over time in “NCAA Tournament.” The spike on March 14 is from people searching for NCAA brackets just after the selection Sunday telecast (do people still say telecast?)… err TV show when the NCAA Tournament teams were announced. The second red spike occurred when the NCAA Round 1 & 2 games were played.
The blue line represents interest in “Health Care Bill.” Interest went up when it was announced that it would be passed.
Will we see another spike for the NCAA Regionals and Final Four? We think so. Will interest in “Health Care Bill” continue up at the same pace? It will be interesting to see.
