I got nine serious responses, added them up and calculated what economists call "The Mean" of those responses with some very arcane, complicated math that you probably don't properly understand. What I discovered was amazing: ten sports fans who follow me and are looking at Twitter at about 11:00-1:30 in the afternoon, Pacific Time, representing a BROAD cross section of all sports fans, which Milwaukee Bucks fans, I think it can be safely stated, are safely nestled into, attribute a PleasureScore of 45.999 to attending a loss and 86.111 to attending a win, with 50 being a purely neutral state of pleasure.TWITTER QUESTION FOR ARTICLE I AM WORKING ON: How much enjoyment, on a scale of 1-100, do you get from attending a home loss vs. a home win?
