What?! Girls who like sports? I know, shocking, but these pots-of-gold deserve all the adoration they can get, and, in reality, research reveals "44 percent of the NFL's fan base" is women. From Sunday afternoons surrounded by chicken wings to a friendly scrimmage of soccer, these competitive gals are ready to stand up to any stereotype.
It might even surprise you that pop star Britney Spears was even sports-headed as she played on her high school basketball team. Yet, not every sports fanatic is a Serena Williams who's amazing at playing tennis or a supermodel equestrian like Kate Upton. Nevertheless, if it's basketball, soccer, dance, golf, motorsports, et cetera, your fit chick or sports fanatic will appreciate more than just a sports bra, Yankees cap, or hair-ties.
No matter if it's college, nationals, or local teams, maybe even players, the girls who love sports will adore these presents this holiday season.

On the contrary, these women are beautiful human beings who like any other fierce, kindhearted spirit deserves appreciation this forthcoming holiday season.
Debunk the stereotypes.
