Sarcasm my friend. That was Jdaly's argument originally. I was mocking it. Try to keep up.

My apologies. There's so much ignorance floating around in this discussion it's hard not to react.

I've started to write several long winded replies, but I keep stopping myself. No matter how hard we try, some men will never accept women as legitimate football fans. Football will always be a male dominated sport, which is why I love it so much. Women aren't a threat, so I don't see why some men get so bent out of shape over it.

No problem, I hear you. This thread is getting pretty bad. Anyone who questions women's football fandom obviously didn't go to a football school like me, where random girls will talk your ear off in line at the bank about like the third string slot receiver.

I don't think the thread is getting bad. I think it's a great discussion and I will be the first to admit my own shortcomings in understanding the finer points of the game. That's one reason I joined a message board in the first place. I enjoy learning from you guys. I would think most guys would love it if their wives/girlfriends developed a love for the game. It might spare them the usual bitching they have to endure on game days.

My wife HATED sports and football when we got married. She knew, however, I was superstitious Skins fanatic and took the time to get to know the game and the Skins. It's great.

Especially when I plan my Sunday around the Redskins game every time its on. I'm in Manhattan / Jersey so we have to watch the lame Jets and Giants all the time. Have to go out to the sportsbars b/c I'm out of range for Direct T.V. My girlfriend used to think it was really weird how into these games I would get. She would watch me yell and scream and be a nervous wreck watching the Redskins play. She is now a Redskins fan but I think its because of my extreme passion. Don't mind watching the game with her as long as she doesn't talk too much. By no stretch would I call Emma a real NFL fan though. Even though I love you Emma you're not a fan!!!! How many other guys have similar situations???
