It’s that special time of year; men in tights and helmets cracking loud enough to make you shudder. Back to the men in tights part, how can you not love football?! I’ll admit, I don’t fully understand the sport, not by a long shot, but I am well versed enough to watch a game in public without embarrassing myself completely. Your guy doesn’t want to be interrupted while he’s taking it all in, but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind a little company (somewhat silent company). You have seen the polls on the covers of magazines for decades; men really do want their significant other to join in on the fun, but game time is not the setting to request in depth tutorials about the sport.

So here is the football challenge ladies, you can do your due diligence on your own time to figure things out. We’re smart enough for this and we know it. Watch games alone or with someone who truly understands the sport and has the patience to explain it to you. I’m also going to go out on a limb and suggest a book called Football for Dummies, this can’t hurt. Ultimately, the men in your life will appreciate your efforts and it’s a great tactic for getting your way down the line.
