It all started in middle school, I went with my friends to a high school game, and for the first time, I got it. I truly understood what all the screaming and excitement was about. Football, like every other sport, made it easy for people to come together, and I liked that a lot. I became even fonder with it during high school, where my friends and I were on the kickline team and went to nearly every game (including the Long Island Championship, go Blue Waves!) Now that I'm a sophomore in college, I'd like to think I have a pretty good grasp of everything that goes on within a game. Now along with the great memories , I've also come in contact with the typical, "Oh you actually like football?" comments that really make my day. Here are a few classics for you ladies out there who love the game just as much as the guy nearly about to blackout next to you in the stadium.
1. "Awe, that's cute!"
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
2. "Do you even know what's going on?"
3."Do you even know the Coach's best friend's son's name?"
No, and you probably don't either.
4. "Who are you rooting for anyway?"
Not like I wouldn't be wearing anything on my head nor would I have coordinated my entire face to match the team colors.
5. "Aren't you bored?"
Nope.
6. "Stop yelling."
Never.
7. "Do you only say you like football just to attract guys?"
Can't say I do.
8. "Don't worry, half-time is almost here."
Thank God, I'm hungry.
9. "Don't you like watching the cheerleading routine?"
No, not really. Mostly because I don't know why they have to be so over-sexualized, but I'll watch because I can imagine how hard these girls work to put a routine together.
10. "Okay maybe you actually like football."
I don't know, maybe.
