It looks like its time once again time to decide on the Worst Company in America for the year of 2014!

This is an event that runs every year about the same time as NCAA March Maddness, Pitting many companies against each other to receive the Golden Poo Award for being the worst company in America.

For the past 3 years, Electronic Arts (EA) has walked away with the champions of this tournament and received the golden poo award.

Feel free to give your thoughts on the match-ups and outcomes, please keep this thread clean, and please respect the opinions of others.  Of course, this is not a bashing or complaint thread against companies either.

Back with another update from the Worst company in america tournament!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 2 continues in the battle between Walmart and Abercrombie, as well as Seaworld and Ticketmaster

In the Walmart vs Abercrombie, Walmart decimated Abercrombie as the worse company of the pair.

Although that game was a decimation, the Seaworld vs. Ticketmaster was a very close fight.
Ticketmaster receieved 47.3%, while Seaworld squaked by with 52.6%

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

This means that Walmart will move on to round 3 to face the company that has made it to the WCIA Final Four for the past 4 years, Bank of America.  Does Wal-Mart have what it takes to beat the long winning streak of Bank of America? We shall see.

On the other side of the bracket, Round 3 will pit Seaworld vs Chase Bank. Does Chase Bank have what it takes to stand up to WCIA Newcomer Seaworld,  which drew major criticism and questions after the documetary Blackfish was released.

-----------------

On a side note, I will continue updating this thread until the tournament is over, every day there are 2 companies that go against each other.

SDE is not an American based company, nor does it affect millions of people like many of the others on the list.

So, Back with some more updates!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Comcast vs. Facebook.

Does anyone have to really question who will win as the worst company between these 2? 
Comcast: 83.5%
Verizon: 16.5%

Walmart vs Bank of America

Really close matchup, both of these companies have made it to the final four of the worst company in america tournament for the past 3 years. However, it seems walmart will be moving on due to a 1% difference.

Walmart: 51%
Bank of America: 49%

Time Warner Cable vs. Koch Industries.

TWC barely won this match, not much else to say
TWC: 50.4%
Koch Industries: 49.6%

Monsanto vs. Citi Bank

Not too familiar with these two companies, if someone wants to fill me in on why they are on here, please do.

Monsanto: 69%
Citi: 31%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, the only match-ups left for round 2 will be Seaworld vs Ticketmaster,  They will move on to face Chase Bank. Also still left is TWC vs Monsanto, who will face the dreaded walmart

I will make another post when Round 3 is ready to begin.

Back with another update.

I kinda missed updating the final four match-ups of the tournament, so I will let you guys do that if you are interested.

I have updated the main bracket to show the final match-up, sadly, it is not the one that myself and others have predicted.

It will be Monsanto, the genetically modified and genetically engineered seed company, versus Comcast, America's biggest internet service provider.

Who will win? Personally, I think Comcast deserves the golden poo.

Congradulations to Comcast for being the worst company in America for the year of 2014! This will be the second time they have taken home the golden poo award, once in 2010 and now here in 2014.

It was a hard fight  for Comcast near the end, facing off against the lawsuit happy, genetically modified seed company Monsanto.  It seems that Comcast took an early lead by a narrow margin and never gave it up.
