My wife has no real interest in the game, except she loves going to games just for the atmosphere. She's always fun to have around and she makes some pretty funny comments. The opening game of every season seems like Groundhog Day when I have to re-explain the rules.

My older brother played football in high school and college, so I really got into the sport as a kid, at first, mostly to impress him and so I could know what the heck he was doing during the games. From about fifth grade until my sophomore year of high school, I would watch hours and hours of football on TV. I read the sports section of the newspaper and checked out a bunch of player biographies, etc. from the library. If you read my 8th grade yearbook you would know that my goal in life then was to become the first female NFL referee.
I had an impressive knowledge of the game at the time and probably would have kicked many of your butts in NFL trivia. But at about 15 or 16, I got too busy with school and friends that my game watching tapered off dramatically. Plus, none of the cute soccer players at my school were impressed with my football knowledge. Today, I can watch a game and understand what is going on, but there are other things I'd rather do. If someone invites us over to watch a game, I love to go and socialize, but I no longer pay close attention to all the plays. |

if she's really into it and actually understands what's going on while not being aggravatingly high maintenance like that one girl I took, then yeah I'd take a girl to a football game again.

Holy crap! Nevermind a football game...how do you go ANYWHERE with someone like that? Most of the issues in your story have very little to do with the fact that you went to a football game. Find someone else fast! |

I'm as big a spectator as the next guy, but it seems odd that guys who may never have donned shoulder pads are now the world's greatest experts and he-men because they are the world's greatest spectators. I have more fun discussing the game with former coaches or college players than I do with the average fan. OTOH, anybody who enjoys the pageantry of the game, male or female is a good companion for a game.

Finally - thank you! I have been waiting for the voice of reason to appear on this thread. I enjoy the competitiveness, athleticism, strategy and overall atmosphere. Just as there are men who do not enjoy football, there are women who do. Thankfully, we are all different.
