I like football...at least college football. ;-) We have season tickets at my alma mater and I thoroughly enjoy the games. Sure, it took a while for him to explain some of the more arcane rules to me, but I have a good idea of what's happening on the field and I can get VERY into it.
Several friends of his bring their wives to games and they all end up hanging out on the concourse chatting. None of that for me! I pay good money for those tickets and I'm not wasting them with chat!
Men are supposed to ogle the cheerleaders in their skimpy outfits. Women are supposed to ogle the players with their exaggerated shoulder falsies and extra-tight pants. Plus, the guys have those masks on that add an air of mystery to them. Football is equal-opportunity sexism.
