Women and the NFL

Some women like football. They make sure you know this. “I know about football,” they say, “!”. I find it annoying. Not because people are horning in on my club- I hate the whole atmosphere of creating some club, inventing jargon, and keeping people out- but because they are just so strident in making sure you know they are your equal in football enjoyment. Who cares? It’s not hard to sit on your wide ass watching football from 11am Sunday to 1am Monday. It’s not like proving you are a nuclear technician.
But anyway, I doubt most of them really are, they just can’t stand to be left out of anything. You don’t see men getting in your face about knitting. It’s really easy to fake knowledge about a subject- gain an enormous depth of knowledge in one specific area, then casually talk about the cover-2 defense. But it’s the breadth of knowledge that’s hard to fake. Which one is closer to the quarterback, the tackle or the guard, huh? How come some teams have a DRT and a DLT and others have an NT or two but neither of the others? What ever happened to split ends? The answer is, it doesn’t matter.
