Do Most Women Hate Sports?



Well, I can understand that woman hating sports!
All over the country, men have a common problem...their unwavering love of sports! This can be a problem for many reasons, but the most common issue that arises is between husband and wife.
On a personal note, I am not sure my wife really understood what she was getting into when marrying me. Little did she know she was also marrying the BYU Cougar Football/Basketball team, the Atlanta Braves, and seasonal tournaments in March, June, and October. The realization of sharing her husbands attention came quickly and firmly like a Roger Clemens HGH induced fastball. So what is a man to do? I would say men typically have their family, cars, and 1-2 sports teams they truly call their "loves." Women on the other hand typically have their family, friends, favorite county music star (Tim McGraw), actor (Orlando Bloom, Brat Pitt ect.) clothing store, soup & salad place, Target, Bath & Body Works, and probably much more. SO what is the big difference between her "loves" and ours? Well, I think it can be simplified in one word...PASSION. Of all the things that women love, I think it is hard to find a love that compares to the love men have for sports. This can easily become a problem when a man starts choosing games, sporting events, city leagues and the like over his family. So what do we do as men to have the best of both worlds? I give you two options:
1. Quickly read and learn mythical mind tricks to perform on your wife with the goal to get her to be a passionate of a fan as you are.
2. Put things more into perspective and try and remember when the last time your sports team loved you back as much as your wife.
This being said, I do believe that it is imperative that women/wives remember that sports are not bad. They are great motivators, fun, entertaining, usually wholesome, and they are great releases of stress (unless you are a BYU/Braves fan). We as men HIGHLY recommend you join in the fun! Just because your man loves and is passionate about sports is not a bad thing, let him live and die by his teams, as long as he also lives and dies for his family.

Yes, that is passion, Mike. But seriously...it just takes a lot of time. If men could multi-task it might be a different story.
